Gli-net predates this

So does Turris

Are there some openwrt based access points with proper client roaming? I use some random off the shelf tplinks as APs, and the connection always drops for a few seconds as I walk through the house. Turns out, I walk around a lot while talking on the phone.
I've been playing with the idea of buying ubiquiti, but that's quite overpriced, especially considering that the budget option goes 90% of the way for at least 1/10 of the price.

You can set up fast roaming (802.11r) which is supported by most mobile clients and gives a much more organised handover between APs. Bit of config tangle but apparently works ok once you get it going.

That’s the official dev board. You can build a router with that, but most people don’t build their routers up from components.
GL-iNet definitely predates it though.
You can buy just the board if you want, but it’s also available as a consumer product: case, power supply, antennas, FCC/EC/RoHS compliance and all.
Sure, though so does every compatible router since the 20+ year old Linksys WRT54G predate it. What’s particular about this one is that the OpenWRT team designed it.
