The “OpenWrt One/AP-24.XY” is a Filogic 820-based WiFi 6 router board manufactured by Banana Pi whose software is directly managed by OpenWrt developers with assistance from MediaTek.

The router was first announced in January 2024, and developer samples became available sometime in April with some early units auctioned away at the OpenWrt Summit which took place in Cyprus on May 18-19. The good news is that the OpenWrt One is now available to anyone on Aliexpress for $89 including a metal enclosure, a PoE module, three antennas, and a power supply.

The OpenWrt One router is directly supported by the developers, and you’ll already find a snapshot build for the latest OpenWrt image on the website. However, there’s no stable release such as OpenWrt 23.05.5 right now since it’s so new. The documentation is available on Banana Pi and OpenWrt websites with the former focusing on the hardware part.

You’ll receive a complete router with a blue metal enclosure. There’s also a large heatsink attached to the board for cooling covering the main components such as the MediaTek Filogic 820 SoC, DDR4, and SPI NAND flash chips.
