What hardware would you recommend for AP’s and dedicated Firewalls? I really value open-source so bonus points if it works without blobs or the hardware is open or has available schematics.
Altough a bit expensive I have looked at Protectli firewalls as an option as the option to run OPNsense and coreboot is attractive.
For an AP, the Banana PI BPI-R3 (R4 if I’m patient) sounds interesting being open hardware and supporting OpenWRT. I am however curious on if it would run on LibreCMC.
Well If it did I don’t think LibreCMC would be much of a thing. (Linux-Libre OpenWRT to sum it up). But the officially supported hardware seems to be ThinkPenguin, and old APs which isn’t a very rich selection. Unfortunate but thats why I wondered if the Banana Pi would work since firmware is closely tied to hardware.
From their FAQ. So it seems there are free 802.11n APs…
