I am still very excited about the LibreRouter, and
that’s a project I had
been considering starting myself in the past before I ran into it, but this
router is 30€ and - after 4 years of work in this field - has finally
rebooted my hope into mesh networks, sustaining a 135mbps mesh over 5GHz AC
WiFi, with 1ms latencies between nodes under ideal conditions.
Just keep in mind that the Librerouter is not just about specs and price!
For a long time we had the wdr3500/3600 which worked beautifully. But then
on one hand the FCC started to block firmware installations and on the
other, tp-link simply phased out them. So it is really more about creating
some technological sovereignty.
Just my 2 cents
Best,
Bruno
