Any idea how many Mbps can flow with SQM turned on?
Any word on when it would ship from Canada or US? Maybe from Amazon? $26 shipping isn't ideal.
If you’re in Canada -
Available at corpshadow.biz (BPi partner in Canada) $188.00CDN including shipping and 13%VAT.
Amazon.com $99US + $43US shipping +37% Exchange = $195CDN + 13%VAT = $221CDN
AliExpress Sinovapi $122CDN + $22CDN = $144CDN no VAT/Duties

Will it reach stable in the 24.10 series? I'm considering getting some for my family & friends as a set and forget/minimal maintainance system.
@ynezz Good job guys!
Congratulations everybody!
It's already supported there.

The specs seem to indicate it only has one 2.5Gb port and the other port is limited to 1Gb, is this correct? Doesn't that mean total throughput is limited by the slower 1Gb port? Are there plans for a version with dual 2.5Gb ports?

If you assign the 2.5GBASE-T port as wan (default), you can get the 1 GBit/s of your lan port plus the throughput of your connected wireless clients (~700-800 MBit/s over 5 GHz and maybe another 150-200 MBit/s over the 2.4 GHz radio) out of this device. Obviously that figure is a bit theoretical and depends on your distribution of wired- and wireless clients, but your accumulated routing throughput could get to around 2 GBit/s this way.
While I don't have any insight into future plans, I wouldn't expect a hardware upgrade anytime soon. On the one hand this is the limit of the standalone filogic 820 SOC, so changes would require a complete PCB redesign and probably filogic 830 or newer, nothing that would be planned ahead with just some components added, on the other hand I would assume that the developers behind this will wait for long term user feedback first (so I wouldn't expect anything newer within the next ~2 years). Keep in mind that virtually no one actually has access to this device so far (the first batch was 150 devices, of which probably 20-30 were set aside for internal use, such as certification, early developer access, etc.), the first bigger production run has only gotten on offer a few days ago - it's not even possible to gather user feedback (of those who actually did buy it) based on those figures, yet.
Disclaimer: I have no inside knowledge, the above is just common sense. Keep in mind, this isn't a commercial project, the developers have funded this personally - they probably want to reach +/- 0, before even considering a new project.

This is a good router for the price point, and the case looks really industrial. I hope this effort will produce a quad core WIFI 7 router that is a little up spec from this one (having at least 2.5 Gbps ports WAN and LAN, tri band including 6 GHz and WIFI 7). Looks like the flash memory is socketed in an M.2 slot. Great idea. So presumably an end user could upgrade if they were inclined?
It ships without SSD, you can add your own - or some other PCIe device in M.2 (Key-M, PCIe v2 x1) form factor. The Firmware itself resides on 256 MB NAND flash (and 16 MB NOR failsafe fallback).

Thanks! Good stuff.
Default boot is chosen by means of dip switch
16mb NOR ot 256 NAND but i extended my OpenWRT onto my installed SSD
We started looking at running Meshtastic (LoRa Mesh) on this device so need to compile and install more libraries, etc
Sorry if this is a stupid question. But...
I only have ADSL. What extra do i need between my RJ11(?) plug and the OpenWRT One WAN port?
Regards, Martin
Refer to this example or search forum
An ADSL/ VDSL modem, the same goes for cable (docsis modem) or fibre (although it's called ONT there).
Some ISP routers can be reconfigured as modem (PPPoE passthrough), but there are also dedicated modems, e
g. from draytek or ZyXEL (mostly targeting business users).
There are even a couple of lantiq vr9 based devices that can provide modem services running OpenWrt (possible, but not required), up to 100/ 40 MBit/s (profile 17b or less) even rather cheap options.
If you need phone features, you will need dedicated VoIP/ SIP gear for that as well.
