  $150 will get you a mini PC that you can run OPNsense on. Hopefully they don’t ban WiFi access points next.

    there is not much wifi access points that are not routers at the same time and i doubt that said regulation would make such a minor a distinction.

    unfortunately we can only guess, because only official document i have found is as vague as the news reports.

      There are many access points that are not routers.

      Access points and routers are usually separate once you get away from the consumer grade stuff. The people that run OPNsense at home often use MikroTik or Ubiquiti access points.

      There are. Just need to shop in the business side of the store and not consumer. At worst pro-sumer.
