    That’s the official dev board.

    You can buy just the board if you want, but it’s also available as a consumer product: case, power supply, antennas, FCC/EC/RoHS compliance and all.

    GL-iNet definitely predates it though.

    Sure, though so does every compatible router since the 20+ year old Linksys WRT54G predate it. What’s particular about this one is that the OpenWRT team designed it.

      Gli-net and others, are built from the ground up explicitly for openwrt. Banana too I think

      The point is, if they are lying in the headline, what else are they lying about?

        Who is this “they”?

        1. Writers often don’t get to choose the headlines. copy editors do.
        2. Whoever the Software Freedom Conservancy is, it is neither the OpenWRT team nor Shenzhen SINOVOIP Co. Ltd.
