It's not cheap, but it's badass. https://omnia.turris.cz/en/
The page says starting at 99 and I literally couldn't find a buy button fast enough. After landing on the Indiegogo page and seeing how much it would cost for a few of the features I'm interested in- yeah, I'll pass. It sounds like a heck of a router but it got spendy fast.
I setup OpenVPN as a bridge and configured an SSID on it so when I connect to it, it'll be as if I were still at home. (Same subnet so I have access to all my printers, tv tuners, etc).
This is disappointing news. What I just did would not have been possible for $15. I've been using OpenWRT for over 10 years and can't imagine ever using a router without some sort of customizable Linux on it. I've learned so much about Linux, networking, VPNs, etc from OpenWRT.
So are there still good, cheap 802.11ac routers that OpenWRT supports well? Now may be the right time to upgrade my 802.11n router.
Unless you really need the throughput of 802.11ac or a more powerful processor to keep up with faster WAN speeds, ath9k 802.11n devices are still a pretty good choice.

What's the gun argument
Restricting the sale of guns makes it harder for the average person, but the bad guys will always have a way.

And this is why, in a nutshell, linux should switch to GPL3. Right now there is no issue for TP-link to "preenmptively" block their hardware. If there was, they would think twice about it.
> And this is why, in a nutshell, linux should switch to GPL3. Unfortunately, given the number of developers that would have to agree, the fact that early contributions weren't attributed and the can of worms that defining what a derivative work is opens, makes relicensing very unlikely.
Linus has in fact done this to quite a bit of MIT licensed code.
Of course it only applies to future versions, and you could conceivably make versions that have those patches removed.
