Ask HN: Low priced commodity hardware

Posted by ryszard99 on Wednesday January 05, 2011 @08:28PM
from the ask-hn dept.

I'm building a consumer routing type device and need some low priced hardware that can run linux. The hardware needs to be able to support 802.11g/n and have at least one ethernet port (three preferable).

I've built a prototype using the board from pcengines.ch (which is a great bit of kit), however to make this thing commercially viable, i need a board that comes in at about 1/2 the price, say around USD$50 or there abouts.

Does anyone have any ideas/experience in this area they can share?

Have you seen http://ubnt.com/airrouter http://ubnt.com/routerstation http://ubnt.com/powerapn ? You can replace the firmware with your own.
