  • Its more about the hardware than software.

    • Able to have enough processing power to utilize the max speed that my ISP provides, while having IDS/IPS and other services enabled.
    • Port segregation so that each port can be on its own network with a full speed backplane.
    • PoE capabilities
    • SPF ports to utilize both fiber and copper connections
    • Multiple networks across many wireless access points

  • I freakin love OpenWRT. I used it for a solid 5-6 years on some consumer grade routers and learned a lot about managing networks.

    Ive since moved to more powerful enterprise network gear because OpenWRT opened that door for me and taught me what is possible. I might not ever go back to it, but I will always recommend OpenWRT to people who want to rice out their routers and get the most out of it.
