Are LibreCMC-supported routers too outdated?
For my next router, I’m considering getting one compatible with libreCMC. Are they too outdated, and is that an actual issue with it?
I’m new to purchasing routers so I’m not sure what I should be careful about.

Personally I would use something that can run OpnSense. Then grab POE access points for wifi, later on when a new standard comes out you just replace the AP instead of the whole router.
It’s an active project that is updated regularly. As long as the hardware supports X86-64 it should run with no problem. If you area looking to build a home lab IMHO it’s hard to beat.

I personally use a Supermicro X10SLL-F and a E3-1226 v3 with 16GB of RAM. Built it a few years ago for about 150 with an old PSU and case with a 120gb sata ssd and threw in a Mellanox ConnectX3 to run to my fiber backbone. I can squeeze every ounce out of the 1G fiber connection and run multiple vLan’s, Caddy and Let’s Encrypt acme client, plus a IPv6 Tunnel since my ISP doesn’t have native connectivity.
I’ve considered getting rid of the ONT and dropping in a gPON SFP module but honestly not sure if my ISP will be willing.
