Big T

Sorry this article kinda lit a fire under my ass to get a new router, so I’ve been researching. Was looking into this and it feels like openWRT might be the way for me personally, the simpler and cheaper, while doing all the stuff I need it to do is more appealing to me.

Also thinking about going with a router that has the longe range 802.11ah HaLow 915mhz, I’ve got a big house and the wifi is bad in one area. I’ve also been dabbling in the sub ghz meshtastic and meshcore devices and I’m thinking it could be a fun thing to experiment with.

Few videos for reference Sub gHz 802.11ah Halow Wifi https://youtu.be/-soMNhNqEVc

Video that touches on why I think openWRT might be a better fit for me than pfsense or open-ended

Let me know yall’s thoughts.

So like what router should I be using that isn’t going to be spying on me? Been feeling it’s time for an upgrade my current ASUS router was a higher end model when I bought it but it is like 8 or 9 years old now
