>> What are the advantages of this device, over the flood of mini-PCs obtainable from China for the price of a router?
>Fully integrated and ready to go?

>Much lower power consumption?

>Wifi that doesn't suck?

>Actual support?

Not to mention both Packet Switch Engine and Packet Process Engine integrated into the SoC which most of those cheap mini-PCs are missing.

There are many routers based on the same MediaTek MT7981B SoC on aliexpress. Many of which ship with OpenWRT. Including the OpenWRT One box.

If you don't like the physical design of the OpenWRT One box, you could buy one of those others - and just make a donation to OpenWRT.
