They're purpose-built for network security and routing, excelling at their specific role. It's not recommended or considered best practice to run WiFi directly off your firewall/router.\n\nOpenWRT on Wi-Fi routers offers flexibility but can be more challenging to configure properly. While versatile, it's a jack-of-all-trades approach that may compromise on specialization.\n\nOPNsense provides more advanced features and superior performance, particularly when running on dedicated hardware. This approach aligns better with security best practices.\n\nAll-in-one router/modem/WiFi solutions, while common and convenient, are not recommended for security reasons. ISP-provided routers, which are often all-in-one devices, are considered less secure. Many router models, including those from well-known brands, have been found to have security flaws. Some all-in-one devices have even been discovered to have major security vulnerabilities.\n\nFor better security, it's recommended to use separate devices for different network functions (modem, router, Wi-Fi access point) rather than an all-in-one solution.\n\nChoose based on your priorities: For robust security and advanced networking, use dedicated hardware running OPNsense/pfSense. If you need flexibility and are comfortable with more complex configurations, OpenWRT can work, but understand its limitations in a security-focused setup. Avoid all-in-one solutions where security is important.","sig":"9f8e9ad095d19a86280733bdde78b9fb54fb65e668c15491d879c8a6584b1da5cccfd7080baea9090c8434b5f94075b6c58a104ce1461e8f0f44aa8068cc6ef2"}
