It would be nice if this resulted in an increased uptake of OpenWRT. I put it on a couple of cheap TP-Link units (before I switched to UniFi), and it worked fairly well. I wouldn't recommend your Average Joe attempt to install it, but technically astute people should have no difficulty.

Unfortunately, what will probably happen is all the ILEC and cable Internet providers will send scare-o-grams to their captive audience saying, "IF YOU'RE NOT USING OUR ROUTER, YOU'RE AT RISK!!!1!1!"

@ewhac we're is the official line between enterprise and consumer?? Is unifi express a consumer router and the rack stuff is enterprise?? Same software, same supply chain.

Routers: For the purpose of this determination, the term “Routers” is defined by National
Institute of Science and Technology’s Internal Report 8425A to include consumer-grade
networking devices that are primarily intended for residential use and can be installed by the
customer. Routers forward data packets, most commonly Internet Protocol (IP) packets, between
networked systems.
