i really like that they are giving us more lan ports, but the hefty price tag really dissapoints me.

really puts it into unaffordable territory for my global south ass. too bad, i wanted to upgrade my wifi with an officially supported device, but the One doesnt have as many ports as i need.

for that price id rather get something that can run full linux.

If you think that's expensive absolutely do not look up any other brands wifi 7 offerings.

This. I'm moving to a place where I cannot use ethernet cable and I was looking for a good Wifi 7 router. Most big brands are at around the same price.

It's just unfortunate that I need it now and not on late 2025... I might just rent a Wifi 6 one from my ISP and wait for the OpenWrt 2.

Small projects do not benefit from economies of scale, I can almost guarantee you very little of this is actual profits.

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 4 points 9 months ago

id be down for a halfway device between One and Two, if they can keep the pricing closer to the One.

I wonder if the SFP port will also allow the router to connect directly to the ISP’s fibre connection, allowing the unit to behave as both modem and router.

If it got great WiFi reception, that would be a killer.

OpenWRT supports two devices for wifi 7 on filogic 880 at the moment in snapshot, the banana R4 with BE14000 wifi card add on, its a development board, and the Asus BT8. There are still plenty of issues but Wifi 7 is starting to come to OpenWRT and these MT7988 devices are going to be the major thing supported first.
