OpenWrt One: First Fully Open Hardware Router Hits the Market
The OpenWrt One is the first router fully designed to run OpenWrt, featuring open hardware schematics and a MediaTek MT7981B chipset. It includes 1GB RAM, dual Gigabit Ethernet, Wi-Fi 6, and a built-in USB-C serial console for developers. Priced at $89, it aims to give users full control over their network hardware and software.

While open-source routers aren't new, the OpenWrt One is notable for being the first to ship with official hardware support from the OpenWrt project itself, potentially setting a standard for future devices.
