Achieves full gigabit speed on IPv4 and IPv6
From 1 comment
Thanks! The router setup achieves the full Gigabit on my line, both on IPv4 and IPv6. Regarding DHCP, DNS and router solicitations: don’t worry about it. In my network I get…

Impressive project and discipline
From 2 comments
I find this single comment alone quite inspiring, let alone the project itself and its scope. You took a complex project from idea to working prototype in less than a month,…

> Updates would frequently break the dnsmasq setup That's surprising to hear. Dnsmasq has been my go-to solution for almost 10 years. Dhcp hostnames via DNS just works out of the…

Performance at small packet sizes on an APU2 is a concern

> Thanks! The router setup achieves the full Gigabit on my line, both on IPv4 and IPv6. This only requires [1,000,000,000 b/s / (1,538 B * 8 b/B)] == 81,274 f/s for full-sized…

Support for split-horizon DNS

Any chance for split horizon dns? The ability to perma-name all my home computers is something I've always wanted in a home router.

Support for cake SQM
From 1 comment

Support for other hardware platforms
From 1 comment
Would it be difficult to port this to other hardware? I would assume there is some HAL? (genuinly curious, have no experience with router sw/fw)

How does performance compare to dedicated hardware routers
From 1 comment
I've always wondered, how does this compare to a dedicated hardware router (some kind of ASIC maybe. I'm not sure if what routers on the market use), in terms of performance.…

Can it run on Raspberry Pi 3 and non-fiber ISPs
From 1 comment
I am currently reading some source codes on tap-based IP/TCP stack and Babel. I have not wrapped my head around some of the concepts because I need to first understand some RFCs…

0xQSL on HNI struggled with the auto updates on the Omnia as well. I wish they'd upstreamed their code so I could run vanilla OpenWRT. I'd say the Turris Omnia will slowly die in favour of…

I want to look into adding support for sniffing and forwarding the 802.1x packets that the AT&T fiber modem/gateways use to authenticate. This is done to bypass the crappy…

Turris Omnia

Why did you not implement it on your Turris Omnia? If the only problem was software update, you still have great HW platform.
