This is a fantastic video about the OpenWrt One. Thank you for sharing this information! I had high hopes for this device, but its specifications do not align with my Raspberry Pi 4 router setup, which is designed to handle additional heavy security layers. Greetings and support from Germany!
I'd be interested in seeing more details about the serial console, the unbrickable bootloader features, and the recovery NOR options. These are features that seem unique to the OpenWRT One that other routers don't include.
I am native speaker but I have fairly good command of English. However I had difficulty understanding some of things you said. Please provide subtitles. I am listening through browser, captions are off.
I think it should either have more multigig ports (maybe even an SFP+ port?) and stronger CPU or be released in a form of a ceiling AP (single 2.5Gbe POE port and decent radio look more like the AP spec, not the router spec). Also I expected to see a bit higher results on 5GHz throughput test. I see that the link was established at ~1900Mbps. Shouldn't we see ~2400Mbps there?
Update - OpenWrt 24.10.0-rc4 is available. OpenWrt One is in the list. This means you doesn't need to mess around with snapshot firmware - LED not turn Green when doing firmware update via USB is due to "The u-boot LED command "led_loop_done" is missing from the OpenWrt".

Thank you so much for the interesting message about the wonderful device, as always! Unearthly beauty and a talking horse all rolled into one!))) Surprisingly, the box looks more beautiful in your video than on the seller's website.))) If you or anyone else would like to explain, especially for housewives, what initial settings do OpenWRT need? The router with OpenWRT (R2) will cascade to the router of the provider R1. All clients will access the Internet via the R2 router. Connection - Lan_R1 => WAN_R2. For simplicity, all static addresses, DHCP and IPv6 on OpenWRT will be disabled, Wi-Fi will be configured later. Questions: 1 - Which addresses\ gateways should I register LAN_R2 and WAN_R2? 2 - What should I register in the zone settings (general, lan=>, wan=> ? 3 - What is in static IPv4 routes and their rules (if necessary)? 4 - What should I specify in the firewall rules for packet traffic (if necessary)? I hope I was not very burdensome and intrusive...))) Merry Christmas to all involved!))) Thank you so much to all who answered!)))
Hi, great video, like always. Could you make a video pointing out differences between NSS Atheros builds vs non NSS Atheros official builds?. Greeting from Chile, LatinAmerica
According to your needs, but mos people dont' even have a a 500mbps internet connection, and even if they have a provider who offers more bandwidth, going more than 1Gbps increases the costs adding no real benefit for the increased bandwidth, so 99% of consumers have
@neckbro this router is for home labers. Having the dual 2.5 in and out is much less about the actual internet connection and more about internal transfer rate. Most routers do 2.5 gig and 1 gig out which is just annoying. Granted because it's openwrt you could swap em but just more work
I don't see the need of more LAN ports, most home users use Wifi apart from a single LAN connection to their PC. After all, Its a home router, not a business switch. Price is not bad at all since for lower prices you get less RAM, no USB ports or weaker processor, and also much more risks for bricking. This seems bulletproof, and you don't have to worry about going Serial to unbrick it, even though that is also made easily available. If it was sold locally i would gladly buy one if i need to replace my current openwrt router
Any serious homelab user has at least a few wires devices, probably dedicated wireless access point, server, network switch. You can't properly benchtest WAN throughput of the device if you're limited to a 1Gbps LAN port.
@@jamess1787 Probably not your target then, with you current definition of a "serious homelab user", which sounds more like a network hobbyist. In that case you should have collected quite a few capable network devices already. If I'm a student or work from home dude, one router with openwrt after the ISP modem is enough for my PC and 10 other devices connecting through the wifi. The wifi capabilities are actually much more important for 98% home-user scenarios nowadays. I guess it just depends on how we position ourselves as consumers, and no product can please everyone in its cost/benefits ratio
I wonder who the target audience is, for this. It's underwhelming in all capacities and it uses Banana Pi instead of the proven Raspberry Pi, just strange.
Cool device and a nice way to support the project.
PD: I hope they make a more powerful version in the future.

Thanks - I've been waiting for you to review this device.

You might want to take a look at BPI-R4 😜

I like it, I hope they'll make a more powerful version in the future, because for most users it would be a sidegrade, not an upgrade.
does it work as wds wifi repeater ? is the firmware stable reliable ?
Can you do a guide to make 2.5G wan to lan and 1G lan to wan port? i just can't get done on openwrt one 😢

We are ready to send it to US/DE Amazon warehouse as fast as possible.
Can you do a video on setting up sae - pk in openwrt ?
A SIP port and Wifi-7 addon would have been great.
Is hardware offloading not working on this device?
As soon as I saw 1 2.5gig port and 1 1gig port I moved on. 2 2.5gig ports should be a minimum right now
This 100%! Il stick to my Nanopi R6S !

@@bigup7777 I actually run that as well. I plan on using that for routing functions and the openwrt one as a dumb AP.
Banana pi r4 wifi7

Can implement m.2 5g modem into the board and do video about it?
It is decent for users who don't implement wireguard on the router. The CPU is weak and therefore cannot handle the encryption process.
N100?
Bluetooth device paired successfully
2x 2.5G = instant buy
bpi r3/mini
@a892728 wow its the same price and way better 👍
in think its expensive compare to performance
5:00
Do a wifi 7 banana pi rp4
cool, it's a pity it doesn't support 4g/5g /lte
那可以选择 BPI-R64 ,BPI-R3, BPI-R4
anh ng Việt phải k ạ
Altyazı lütfen
I just hope the "Two" with have more Ethernet ports. They spent a lot of time and effort developing DSA then negated its use with this device.
What is the meaning of having 2.5gbs in the wan but 1gbs in the lan? A joke?
A single 2.5Gb port for that price doesn't seem like a good deal tbf
I wonder who the target audience is, for this. It's underwhelming in all capacities and it uses Banana Pi instead of the proven Raspberry Pi, just strange.
That CPU is pretty underwhelming.
The Hardware is pretty weak
