The Turris Omnia NG Wired is a high-performance router for advanced users, homelabs, and small network deployments. The device runs Turris OS, a Linux distribution based on OpenWrt.
From a hardware standpoint, Omnia NG Wired features two 10 Gbps SFP+ ports for WAN and LAN, alongside four 2.5 GbE RJ45 ports, enabling flexible multi-gigabit network setups.
I really want to love Turris ever since they announced their first product. Unfortunately they are absolutely overpriced and there are more cost-effective solutions that I prefer.
€420 isn’t crazy for a 10gbps Wifi 7 router. A quick search tells me the Arris G54 is about that price and only 3.1gbps.
EDIT: Just realized the G54 is a modem/router combo.
EDIT 2: And the Turris €420 version doesn’t have Wifi
The €420 version doesn’t have a WiFi radio. UniFi’s version of this is €250: https://eu.store.ui.com/eu/en/category/cloud-gateways-compact/collections/cloud-gateway-fiber/products/ucg-fiber?c=PT
I mean, I can get a Ubiquity for under €270: Link
I’ve also just learned about the Alta Labs Route10: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTs9HyZhZPU
The OpenWrt Two is also expected to be under 300€: https://openwrt.org/voting/2025-02-12-openwrt-two
There’s also the Quantum Fiber W1700K with preliminary OpenWrt support for just €100 O.O(460 + VAT is above of 550 monies to get wifi 7 included)
€420 is the price with VAT already.
Nevermind, the wireless version is €550 incl. VAT.
@lutindiscret @linux @homelab We still have some MOXes left 😉 Problem with entry-level is that we are manufacturing in small batches in EU and we are making hardware that is meant to last. So we can’t really get to “entry level”, but since we can’t make it cheap, we are trying to provide high-performance and make it worth it.
I would heavily recommend just getting a router that supports OpenWRT, there’s loads of choice, but for entry level I would suggest TP-Link Archer C7.
If you don’t care about wifi, the Cisco Meraki MX65 has 12 ports and is very cheap right now.
Aren’t most routers powered by Linux?
OPNsense and pfSense are pretty popular and are BSD-based.
Linux nerds froth at the mouth when the biggest part of their personality is mentioned.
Do you not get excited when something you enjoy is also enjoyed by others?
It’s an operating system dawg.
Just using your logic: It’s just a [insert hobby] dawg.
Its too reductionist man, most things are just a thing - who cares.
Its not about “Linux” its usually about the rest that comes with it (self hosting, sysadmin, programming, general tinkering, etc). Same way someone might geek out on cars or sports.
Indeed it is.
Starting around €420. Not terrible for the specs I guess.
25Gbps plz?
