 [$] The OpenWrt One system

https://openwrt.org/
 is, despite its relatively low
profile, one of our community's most important distributions; it runs
untold numbers of network routers and has served as the base on which a lot
of network-oriented development (including the <a href="https://www.bufferbloat.net/projects/" rel="nofollow">bufferbloat-reduction
work</a>) has been done.  At the beginning of 2024, a few members of the
project https://lwn.net/ml/all/a8aaa495-da0b-4ddc-8c4f-3e1192d8b012@phrozen.org

a plan to design and produce a router device specifically designed to run
OpenWrt.  This device, dubbed the "OpenWrt One", is now becoming available;

Conservancy</a> were kind enough to ship one to LWN, where the desire to
play with a new toy is never lacking.
