Avoid Consumer Routers

What are people’s thoughts about the Turris Omnia[0]?

Does it hold up to their claims and is it playing nice with American ISPs like charter?

I like the hardware but I don't like the default software that's on it. NIC.CZ is already spread too thin and I get the feeling that they are not prioritizing their router branch on the level it should be.

I'm considering running Alpine on it but so far that's pretty much uncharted territory.

I have a turris omina. I have no real complaints. It is way better than any other router I've owned. It is the only one I've felt comfortable to do anything fancy with.

I currently have mumble and a nextcloud server running on the router, and a wireguard interface.

I can't comment on any US ISP weirdness as I live in europe.

Great to hear! I love the ability to swap out wifi cards or even insert a wan module. Great it wifi cannot be trusted as a fallback.

I own Turris Omnia from 2019, it works flawlessly, recently added LTE card for backup connectivity.
