I really like the spirit of this, but the price and features are just okay considering there are other companies designing similar and better products with more flexibility and around the same price. I may pick up a board to work on it, still, but I'll buy the Inet package with the same hardware and more Ethernet ports for $99 if given a choice.

What other hardware at this price point would you consider for running openwrt?

Crap, I literally just bought a GL.iNet GL-MT600 Flint 2 which runs GL.iNet skin over OpenWrt & it has an option in its settings to switch direcrly to OpenWRT if you prefer, or you can also flash OpenWRT onto it yourself too.

Interesting, but at $160 the GL-MT600 is nearly twice the price of the OpenWrt One.

Good to know about though! My whole reason for asking for alternatives is I've had a great experience with dd-wrt in the past, and I'm sick of ubiquiti, so I'm looking ahead for my next router.
