What a coincidence to see this on the front page! I just received my OpenWrt One because I’m tired of dealing with the questionable quality of most routers.

Others are comparing OpenWrt to other options, such as OPNSense. A user noted:

How about OPNSense on open hardware of your choice, and passing messy wireless to separate AP? OpenWRT is very good, but the installation and upgrades are not easy.
