I have my AP’s setup and all I need now is sine sort of firewall appliance. I am
hopping to make it run openwrt as that’s what I’m used to using. I’m looking at
a nanopi but they seem expensive and overpowered to me. Is there a cheap
alternative?
Do you need the latest router, or just “a” router? I usually get mine for like $10 at Goodwill. They’re a couple years old when I get them, but they work fine and I don’t need anything fancy.
I’m not quite sure, but I think the majority of the devices in that price range, if not all, fall into that category, being made with 4MB flash memory, and 32MB RAM. OpenWRT can hardly fit into that, it’s only possible with a custom image and making compromises

Do those have any memory (storage and ram) to run a secure, up to date firmware, like openwrt?
My guess would be it depends on the device
