I’m looking to get a used router on which to install libreCMC, but the list of supported hardware is quite short. I’d prefer to find something locally, and I doubt that I’d be able to find these particular models. However, I do not intend to use WiFi at all, so I wonder, are there any more recent routers that work 100% with libreCMC except for the WiFi? Preferably something with at least 4 Ethernet ports.
Thanks!
EDIT: What I want to know is which routers do not require any non-free firmware for any of the hardware other than the WLAN. Does anyone know of where to find such information, or how to tell based on the specifications of a router that has not actually been tested with libreCMC?
You… Don’t have a smartphone? Or tablet… Or laptop? I mean, I also have ethernet ports everywhere in my home and use those most of the time, but wifi sure is nice
I have a laptop that I use at the desk next to where I will put the router, and any network-attached storage will also be right there next to the router, so I have no need for WiFi. It’s fine if the WiFi could work of course, but I wouldn’t use it, and I imagine that many routers would be 100% compatible with libreCMC if not for the WiFi requiring non-free firmware. What I want to know is which routers these are that don’t require any non-free firmware for any of the hardware other than the WLAN.
I’m sorry, I don’t know about routers that much. Here in France you cannot really use another router than the one provided by your ISP
