Hey, I am looking for a router to use as a mesh device behind a Fritzbox.

In the future I may use it as the main device.

I am looking for something good, open, Wifi 6 or higher, with good support.

A bit on the expensive side but it is based on openwrt with a bit of custom software on top by Turris (which is a daughter company of czech domain registrar CZ.NIC)

Thanks a lot for that tip!

I bought one, the hardware is a bit very old, poorly I got it a bit early (they are a bit late, the MOX already uses ARMv8 and they still dont have m.2) but it is AWESOME!

this thing is absolute geek material and the powerful hardware allows for way more features. Their openWRT is highly modified and extended, their updates are likely better, they have packages you can add etc.

Really really great.

Already got DNSSEC running, and will add a 2TB SSD for a nextcloud server.

Already started modding, as the mPCIe slots are similar to what my Thinkpas T430 has.

Yeah geek material is probably the best tag and category for Turris, and I feel you with that old hardware, wish I had the same thing with just a bit better/modern soc and more ram.
