Looking to upgrade my old tplink ac1900. Was quick browsing for openwrt and found the banana pi r3. Does anyone have one? or opinions about it? Just looking for a general consensus that it is effective and reliable. Other suggestions are welcomed but don’t need a debate ;)
Skirting the edge of self hosting, I was faced with this question last month. I ended up with a Ubiquity UCG Ultra. It has all the network management tools on-board and for the first time in a long time I can manage my network from anywhere on the planet.
Access can be via a web UI, or an app.
I don’t have any insight into the hardware you mentioned but I wanted to say that I put opnsense onto a low powered computer a few years ago and love it. It is extremely configurable and easy to use with some pretty good documentation out there.
