how good is openwrt these days? i used it a long time ago on tp link hardware are remember it was not too good…like adding own scripts, addons etc. and then i tried stuff like ipfire,ipcop and pfsense. pfsense was so much better and now opensense is quite good.
how does current openwrt compare?
OPNsense is like comparing a bicycle to a car (in Europe)
Both will get you there,the first one is more convenient most of the time for most users,but the second one is a whole class of “more powerful”.
But it’s far easier to take a shortcut with a bike.

k. thanks. i really was thinking they made hughe progress now that they do dedicated hardware.
They don’t, as others have pointed out. It’s just a standard single board computer with some addons and a case.
I’ve been using it on my last 2 routers, currently the Netgear WAX206 and I’m loving it.
It does what it’s supposed to. No complaints.
