Open-source OpenWrt One router released at $89 – 'hacker-friendly device'


This 'Unbrickable' router should never fail you.

The group worked together to draft the specifications for this router, and then OpenWrt tapped Banana Pi for the device production. You can now order a complete set with a case on Aliexpress for just $89(although it’s out of stock at the time of writing), but the tinkerers among us could choose just the logic board for $68.42, though it’s unavailable in the U.S. at the moment. At just $89, it's the perfect option if you want something that will last you a lifetime and not have to worry about getting a "bricked" device because the manufacturer no longer supports software updates for it.
