Pricepoint?
- FTFA
  None of those upgrades come cheap though – the OpenWrt One sells for around $89, but the OpenWrt Two is expected to sell for around $250 when it hits the streets in late 2025.
  
  Thank you, didn't see it from the article
250US$!? With those hardware specs?
- Seems a bit excessive. However, you directly support the OpenWrt project with the purchase.
  
  Wifi7 and 10gb chips are expensive. And so are CPUs capable of handling that.
@Lemmchen oh and today my R3 arrived. Of course I'm now away for a week so setup will have to wait till i get back.
Still keep hoping for an OpenWRT mesh option. Open mesh options barely seem to exist.
- OpenWRT is kind of known for mesh. Batman Adv is very robust and can handle Vlans.
- Cudy m3000 is a WiFi6 mesh option built on openwrt. Not sure how it compares with other options from a performance and openness perspective.
  
  I'll look into it, thanks.
@Lemmchen So this week's update. I bit the bullet and bought a BananaPi-R3 and two SFP adaptors so I had six ethernet ports. and well .. the BPR3 has disappeared off into Courier Limbo stuck in a warehouse somewhere after they said I wasn't home when they tried to deliver it. Grr.. But I have now got my OpenWRT WDS wireless and wired extenders running and all my devices are updated to at least v23. I have started building out my DMZ for #yunohost..
