    I personally recommend that average users not install OpenWRT unless they have a specific need for it (to name a few: security upgrades after a few years, static routing, a full-featured firewall, DNS over TLS, VPN, etc.).

    OpenWRT uses open-source wireless drivers (MT76 for these MediaTek-based devices), which are often slightly worse (though not by much) in terms of wireless performance.

    It may also lack hardware acceleration for both wired and wireless connections, meaning it will generally use more CPU power for packet routing.

    This usually isn’t a big issue, as the CPUs in these routers are strong enough to handle routing (even without hardware acceleration), and the open-source drivers aren’t that bad.

    But when it comes to trading raw performance for additional features that aren’t included in the official firmware—if you don’t use those features, you might as well keep the raw performance.

    (or compile your own OpenWRT firmware with closed source MTK SDK, see here for relevant project on GitHub)

      I agree. Even as a not so average user with average needs, I had disconnection issues with openwrt after a day or so, requiring scripts to reboot. I flashed back to stock and it's been solid.

        disconnection issues with openwrt after a day or so

        same, until I pulled above branch, slightly tweaked the config, and compiled my own firmware.

  Would you still need modem?

    That depends on your type of internet. FTTN and FTTB will require a VDSL2 compatible modem, while FTTP and HFC only need a router.

  Oh awesome didnt know, ive been wanting on modem to go on sale. Just googled my address on nbnco

  Says

  Available technology

  nbn Fibre to the Premises (FTTP)

    OMGJL on 09/10/2025 - 02:00

    modem = translate from fiber/copper/phone wire, into standard network protocol.

    router = you have one connection (IP), and router distribute this single connection to all your computers/phones.

    that NBN NTD box on your wall is a fiber modem.

    so you'll only need a router, or modem router with modem bit disabled.

    p.s. "Modem Router", a device does both together (like say plug in a phone wire, then wifi for everyone)

  I have the mr90x I got from Amazon on a prior deal for $50. It's running stock and has been brilliant. I replaced Telstra gen 3 router and booster with the one device and get excellent range and solid without requiring a reboot for weeks on end. Highly recommend on stock firmware.

  I tried openwrt and had disconnection issues with turned out to be a known issue, so I flashed back stock and it's been rock solid ever since.

    How did you get mr90x for $50? Or do you mean mr80x?

      Amazon had a deal where you could purchase 2 for $100 or so. It was from this deal: Mercusys MR90X AX6000 Dual Band Wi-Fi 6 Router $62.99 Delivered @ Amazon AU https://ozb.me/o/3ktb?u=wa

      It was mr90x

  I just bought the MR80x a couple weeks back direct from Mercusys website for $55ish delivered. Had no idea what I had been missing out on over the past few years whilst using a crappy ISP provided one.

  Highly recommend the MR80X, I am on 500mbps with NBN and I get the full 520-540mbps through my whole house on devices that can take that speed over wifi. A friend lives across the road and his phone tries to connect to my wifi over the one in his house when he is in his front yard (approx 60 metres away from me, and 15 metres from his own TP-Link AX1800)

  Just a reliable performer at an insanely good price.

  MR80x vs GL inet GL-B3000 the photo frame router which one would you recommend. I am in a dual story house so wifi range and speed is important for me in top floor rooms

    I have the photo frame one, it’s reliable, stable with good speed but range is not good. I wouldn’t use it in double story house. I struggle to get signal in front yard sometimea (router ia centrally located).
