Today, we at SFC, along with our OpenWrt member project, announce the production release of the OpenWrt One. This is the first wireless Internet router designed and built with your software freedom and right to repair in mind. The OpenWrt One will never be locked down and is forever unbrickable. This device services your needs as its owner and user. Everyone deserves control of their computing. The OpenWrt One takes a great first step toward bringing software rights to your home: you can control your own network with the software of your choice, and ensure your right to change, modify, and repair it as you like.
Because Europe, but as you can see the OpenWrt One makes no sense when the BPI-Wifi5 is half the price and the R3 is a 35€ more expensive but has multiple ethernet posts, SFP and a ton of other IO. In fact even for the US market I don’t see the price of the OpenWrt One making any sense, because the others are cheaper over there as well.
The odd thing about any pi kits in north america is their website list price is not our distributer purchase price. I looked up the Banana pi kit openwrt and it would be €114 .
Everyone always says thing like you can get a raspberrypi for €25 , but trying to get one here means used ones were €120 and new was €170
