    Seems cheaper where we are $89 CAD so €68. 1 gig RAM is plenty for a router. I’m running OpenMediaVault Samba shares and MiniDLNA on 256MB RAM and it doesn’t max out. More RAM would be wasted on a router.

      Check this out, the router from the link for someone in Europe:

      Now the other ones:

      I guess you get the point, all Openwrt routers and the last one is much much better in all ways.

          Because Europe, but as you can see the OpenWrt One makes no sense when the BPI-Wifi5 is half the price and the R3 is a 35€ more expensive but has multiple ethernet posts, SFP and a ton of other IO. In fact even for the US market I don’t see the price of the OpenWrt One making any sense, because the others are cheaper over there as well.

            The odd thing about any pi kits in north america is their website list price is not our distributer purchase price. I looked up the Banana pi kit openwrt and it would be €114 .

            Everyone always says thing like you can get a raspberrypi for €25 , but trying to get one here means used ones were €120 and new was €170
