Hello Brad,<br>
<br>
What type of NBN do they have? is it HFC, FTTN or FTTP?<br>
<br>
If there is already an NTU/CPE device that does the modulation and media<br>
conversion and is presented in the premises as Ethernet, then I would<br>
highly recommend sticking with OpenWRT with a Raspberry Pi, which is<br>
very functional even on a dev banch[1] on or some other dev/SoC (System<br>
On Chip) board such as the up-board up2[2] (currently being kickstarted[3]).<br>

G'day Dean,<br>
<br>
Yeah they are the lucky ones (FTTP) but on a 25/5 plan, so it's not that quick. As a result it's Ethernet with PPPoE.<br>
<br>
I have a few PI3 here, but I was after something with wireless built in. Either that or I need to use both a PI and a WAP.<br>
<br>
The PI3 has wireless, but it's marginal at best and I never bothered to even see if it could play as an AP.<br>
<br>
I wasn't planning on moving away from OpenWRT, just looking for a wireless unit with more balls and better wireless.<br>
<br>
I'm not a fan of Ubiquity personally, so that's a no-go.<br>
<br>
The specs on the WRT1900 look good and they appear to be well supported. Might have a go with one of those. Worst case we can default back to factory firmware and use a PI as a router.<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br>
