<p>There are off the shelf OpenWRT routers. I use:<br>
</p>
<ul>
<li>Turris Omnia as edge routers:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.turris.com/en/omnia/overview/">https://www.turris.com/en/omnia/overview/</a></li>
<li>GL iNet Convexa-B as access points</li>
</ul>
<p>Both work well, and are native OpenWRT solutions. The Omnia is a
bit expensive, but you could just stick with GL iNet devices if
cost is a problem.<br>
</p>
<p>Kind regards,</p>

If I was installing such a thing at a customer site I would
first <br>
suggest a reasonable off the shelf product rather than a
custom built <br>
black box.<br>

<div>I have run pfsense very happily at work (and home) for
many years - it's nicely comprehensive and easy to use.
Netgate (owners of pfsense) make some devices with pfsense
preinstalled, which I can't speak from much experience with.
Until we moved office and I got the budget to replace it, we
have an old Pentium dual core Dell desktop running pfsense.
