petrmaje Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Hi All, after next collapse of our network I used the hammer to destroy the R1. This board is really shit and I will never ever continue with any kind of experiments with it. The reason is probably BCM chip. But I am not sure. Everything works well on the table, you can stress it as much you want , everything works well. But when you use it for real traffic, the board starts to collapse, unexpected restarts etc. I followed all recommendations of you, but without success. The question is ... Which board for router I have to use? Any ideas welcome. Petr P.S. If somebody wants R1 for home router/NAS (for home is ok), I have two available, the third ended up very bad way ..., let's say 20 euro/one incl. delivery ...

tkaiser Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Which board for router I have to use? Depends on what you want. I would have a look at http://www.i4wifi.eu/MikroTik-RouterBoards-1/and http://www.pcengines.ch/apu.htm If it's just about routing and maybe Wi-Fi as well, check which cheap TP-Link router is fully supported by OpenWRT.
