One of the cheapest routers right now is the EDUP RT2980 AX3000 which has a slightly newer revision of the same CPU with half the ram of the Cudy TR3000. Wireguard is generally not as RAM intensive and so you should get equal performance at half the cost. I have 3 of these running in access point mo

Покупайте роутеры либо с OpenWRT (туда можно поставить всё что угодно), либо тот же Keenetic/Netcraze с USB-разъёмом (там есть Entware). Важное уточнение: берите мощные модели с многоядерным ARM процессором, чтобы скорость VPN была приемлемой. Далее настраивайте policy-based routing (есть много разн

if this is something you are really concerned about, you can pick up some super cheap travel routers and do all the vpn stuff there. the bonus being that it ends up being completely transparent then to all the other devices, they just connect normally. the GL-MT3000 Beryl AX is the super easy one to

Today, you really want a router that at least has 5ghz support. If you're in a high-density space, I'd suggest 6ghz as well. I'd argue the minimum wifi standard today is the 2013 era 802.11ac, which can, practically handle ~800mbps peaks. The newer technologies are WiFi 6 and 7. Personally, I tend t

Beryl 7 for equivalent, but slightly cheaper (same manufacturer). Beryl AX (same manufacturer, slightly older) or Cudy TR3000 (near identical to Beryl AX but about 50% the price). There seems to be a new TR3600 which may be identical to the Beryl 7

Good to know. I really want to like Cudy, because they have good and cheap routers that support OpenWRT. However, the lack of USB ports on most routers is mind boggling. I do have a Cudy TR3000, which is basically a cheap GL.iNet GL-MT3000 clone - with less internal storage - that I like very much.

Amazon is selling the Flint 2 / GL-MT6000 for $113. Cudy is running a BoGo sale on Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/promotion/psp/A1IR3QNJMAB4JJ (only the model ??3000 devices are interesting). Since the sale's been running for a while, people are selling the free item on eBay - new Cudy TR3000's, fo

I think there's only 4 decent options (in that order): GL.iNET MT-3000 Cudy TR3000 CF-WR632AX (taken from fr0llic) OpenWrt One (not exactly portable though) The first two do not come with mainline OpenWrt but both Cudy and GL.iNET make installing OpenWrt very easy. 12V has been deprecated in USB-PD
