My ISP contract is ending soon and I’m tempted to tinker with my own router setup. What I want to achieve:
- OpenWRT router (there’s the OpenWRT One which has it preinstalled but I heard it’s more for developers?)
- Mesh network using multiple Wifi “repeaters” (hope I’m getting the terminology right; I basically want to put some of these Wifi things in multiple rooms and they should all connect to each other to form one big Wifi network where, when you move across the house, your phone will always connect to the nearest access point (“roaming” is the term I think?))
- Multiple SSIDs (network names), e.g. one where the connection is going through a Wireguard VPN and one where it’s the raw Internet connection
Can anyone recommend me some hardware which can achieve this and is relatively easy to set up? I’m happy to tinker for a little bit but once it’s set up it should just work.
