Pros

  • +Cheap
  • +Easy openwrt installation
  • +Supports ap mode with vlan tagging
  • +Full 1 gbps with wire

Cons

  • โˆ’Wireless speed capped around 400 mbps
  • โˆ’will need to upgrade as home server grows
  • โˆ’not enough storage for Adguard Home (only 40MB left)
  • โˆ’802.11s mesh only connects at 80mhz channel width
โ€œThe WR3000S and WR3000E give you more storage, but due to the partitioning still isn't enough for Adguard Home. You only get a little over 40mb of space left. The S I think has slightly better antennaโ€
