Hey, I am looking for a router to use as a mesh device behind a Fritzbox.

In the future I may use it as the main device.

I am looking for something good, open, Wifi 6 or higher, with good support.

      I’ve had mine since 2018 and it’s still going strong! I’ve recently upgraded it to WiFi6 but otherwise it’s the same device.

      From: https://docs.turris.cz/#updates

      We are committed to providing long-term support for our devices for as long as the Linux kernel continues to support them. For instance, our initial router, Turris 1.X, which was a part of the Turris security research program launched in 2013, is still supported after a decade.

      I guess it’s something along “we will try to support your device for as long as humanly possible” ? My ~three years old omnia is still getting updates (just like a regular linux box would), actually seems I have one pending right now:)

        They have 10 year old powerPC omnias that still get updates.

        They have issues with Rust or Go compilers not supporting old hardware anymore, which is pretty damn funny.

        Poorly the ARMv7 is way less secure than v8a on my Pixel phone, or even the newer v9 on modern Pixels with hardware memory tagging etc.
