>$50 AX3000 routerWhat's the catch with Cudy routers? I was considering buying a few and setting up a mesh network with OpenWRT.
>>108508183I've got one as an AP running vanilla OpenWRTShit is so cash bro
>>108508516>OpenWRT>wirelessyou mean literal shit is cash
>>108508546>Filtered LMFAO, go be a tech luddite somewhere else kid
>>108508865>tinkertran cant stop thinking about kidschecks out
>>108508183Nothing as far as I can tell. I have a WR3000S with OpenWRT and while it can't quite max out Wifi 6 speeds, its fast enough, you just need to enable hardware acceleration. I've set up a wireless mesh using a second piece I bought, and I get amazing range.In fact I don't understand the point of expensive routers. You don't get more range, because the transmitter is legally limited, and the antennas are simple dipoles. My router can do like 800MBps on two clients at the same time (copying files between machines), with like ~40% CPU.I think the only legit usecase, if you have VPN/Tailscale/Deep packet inspection and you need to handle lots of traffic in software, but that's like the 0.01% case, and certainly not mine.
How many of you "router doesn't matter" people live in a paper house in the middle of nowhere?t. surrounded by heavy brick walls with hundreds of SSIDs in sight at all times

>>108508904Cry harder retard, you're projecting
>>108509370Use faraday fabric to cover the walls so it blocks your neighbors wifi. If thats too much of a hassle, use 2-3 layers of aluminum foil sheets on the walls to completely kill the neighbors signals.
>>108509693or I could just spend $50 more and get a router that works in real world conditions
>>108508183Cheap Chinese trash. Stock firmware is backdoored, the hardware is underpowered and will be shitting itself when pushed beyond a single device connected.I would say to wait for Mikrotik's hAP be3 Media, but I forgot that Americans are prohibited from buying consumer routers now, given how they don't manufacture their own.
