Hello pals,
As in the title, is there any opensource or friendly open Wireless Access Point? or DIY solution ? I don’t ask for easy one, as long as it is performant.
I have actually two UniFi AP but these cloudy devices are getting on my nerve and honestly.
Openwrt is really cool. I was the lead engineer on a router that was essentially a fork of openwrt. If you’re willing to learn Lua and figure out how it all works despite their nearly non-existent documentation, you can customize the UI, add new UI elements, or even add whole new UI pages. For example, on our router, we added an IPsec package, so I had to make a UI page for it.
The whole gimmick of our router was that it could be configured by the smart home controller that the company was already selling. So I designed and implemented a whole REST API in Lua on it.
It was a really fun project. But then a mega corporation bought us, so I bailed because they sucked.
Almond?
