My neighbor has a 🔥 wifi... doesn't even put a password on it.

NanoPi (rpi with multi ethernet ports) with openWRT + separate wifi AP from tplink

It really depends on who your service provider is. Check with them and they will tell you the best to use.

GL-iNET

GL-AX1800 Flint

Turris Omnia

Developed by Czech non profit (arm of Czech domain registrar).

Open, fast, customizable by default with openwrt. Extendable.

That sounds pretty awesome!

Big fan of my deco mesh system… 🫡

It’s almost never a good idea to use a wifi router. Could you run a router and a separate wireless access point?

If no, I would look for something with OpenWRT preinstalled or a supported router you can flash it to.

If yes, I’d look at pfSense / OPNsense, Ubiquiti or OpenWRT in combo with some UniFi WAPs.

I like unifi stuff, the new dream router is a really good all in one that acts more like enterprise equipment

OPNsense or OpenWrt. VPN.

Can customize hardware. Can be sent in tamper-evident packaging. Can be bought with Bitcoin.
