Soon, there'll be a new Turris home router.
Sporting 4x2.5 Gbps interfaces and 2xSFP+ for WAN and LAN0 it should finally catch up with recent heavy rollout of fiber everywhere - for example here in Prague, 2 Gbps fiber lines are not unusual lately. Also, it will have 4 core ARMv8 cpu, which is a nice upgrade from current ARMv7 dual core.
This is not an advertisement, just my excitement, because I want to get my hands on one - we are using Turris since the first test batch more than ten years ago and it's a very versatile piece of networking hardware - especially nowadays, when PC Engines stopped manufacturing APU boards.
I plan to do a short review when the time comes - any request what I should try? Or questions about my experience with current Turris Omnia 2020?

in reply to Kayla Eilhart (en) • • •Yes yes, I know and looking forward to the new device. My home network is now powered by old blue Turris 1.1 (only as switch+wifi ap) and a Turris Omnia. I would like to upgrade it to Omnia - new turris setup with sfp-sfp line as a network backbone between them. Maybe a bit of an overkill, but I would like to try it this way. 😄
And btw, on friday I am going to be connected to the t-mobile's fibers. They offered double the downspeed, quadruple the upspeed (as it is symetrical), for half the price I am now paying to vodafone. Very easy decission to switch. 🤯
Only the lacking IPv6 is a shame. On both ISPs.
