If only it were a useful hardware configuration.

It's $90 and for if you want a wifi router. What are you missing?

[–] bamboo@lemm.ee 3 points 2 days ago

Yeah this doesn’t hold up against the $200+ options but it’s also not priced that way.

[–] NeoNachtwaechter@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I would need the WiFi and a 5 port integrated switch (won't refuse 8 either), and then I'd buy 3 or 4 of them immediately.

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Switches are like $15, dude.

Mmh only two Ethernet ports? I guess it’s for people who use mostly wifi only?

I need this router.

[–] index@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 days ago

Is it available only though aliexpress?

[–] cmnybo@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 2 days ago (2 children)

It would be nice if they would make one with 4 or more LAN ports with at least one of them 2.5G and no WiFi. I need multiple access points to get enough coverage. The built in WiFi is useless to me since it won't integrate nicely with Unifi.

[–] Draghetta@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Turn it off then and use your own APs, it’s what I do in my home. I don’t have this specific router but I have a box with 2 eth ports, one goes to pppoe and the other to my home switch, where my APs are connected.

I need this but 4G version..

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

GL.inet has some LTE routers with OpenWRT on them. I haven't tried the LTE version, and the one (Shadow) I have has to be rebooted once a week, but that's a really cheap one I was trying.

[–] rotkehle@feddit.org 8 points 2 days ago

I love the specs and the pricing. Will definitely check it out.
