OpenWrt is good stuff
I agree - but that hardware that doesn't have 2.4 fully functional in openwrt and you want/need 2.4 kind of makes it not good stuff..
Who advertised as number 1 for openwrt.. openwrt doesn't really make recommendations on hardware to use.. What the hell do you think a company is going to say about their product.. Yeah its number one for "anything" they want to say..
Again - get yourself a real AP not something you have to put 3rd party on to even make it usable and call it a day..
Openwrt is great for if you have some soho wifi router laying around and you want to make actual use of it.. And openwrt will allow it to do xyz, vlans for one is the big one that none of the native firmware supports even when their hardware does..
I rarely have to even think about my APs - they work, I never have to reboot them, the only time I do is when I upgrade their firmware. Really the only time I Play with them is want to try a new feature they implemented - like when you could finally do vlan assigned by radius.. Yeah got it work, and then thought have no actually need for it other than being only to broadcast one ssid and have devices join different vlans.. Its cool and all - but in to be honest not really needed.. My ssids and vlans all ready setup, why complex it up, etc.
I played with the ppsk when they enabled that - again slick.. might be useful.. But then again everything already setup, no reason to complex it up.
If you want to play with openwrt - great more power to you, completely agree its some great stuff. But get some AP to play with it on, get another AP that actually provides your network its wifi..
