[GLLUG] Best NIX-based router/software for a small business network

[Travis Mooney]

There are off the shelf OpenWRT routers. I use:

  * Turris Omnia as edge routers: https://www.turris.com/en/omnia/overview/
  * GL iNet Convexa-B as access points

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.

Kind regards,

travis
