The Software Freedom Conservancy has launched the OpenWrt One, an $89 Wi-Fi router designed for open-source enthusiasts, available on AliExpress. This router, developed in collaboration with Banana Pi, supports OpenWRT firmware and allows users to modify and update it independently of corporate schedules. It features dual-band Wi-Fi 6, PoE support, and a design that makes it nearly unbrickable. The OpenWrt One aims to provide a flexible, hacker-friendly alternative to traditional routers.

OpenWrt Launches Repairable, Hacker-Friendly Wi-Fi 6 Router for $89

Originally Published 1 year ago — by The Register

OpenWrt, in collaboration with the Software Freedom Conservancy, has launched its first hardware platform, the OpenWrt One, marking a significant step for the right to repair movement. The router features a dual-core MediaTek processor, Wi-Fi 6 capabilities, and is designed to be "unbrickable" with separate flash memory options. Priced at $89.99, it complies with FCC regulations, challenging the notion that such compliance conflicts with software repair rights. Ten dollars from each sale supports the SFC.
