[CRarsenxL]

Any reason why netduma uses media tek for The R2 chipset? Why not Broadcom or qualcomm? Is the code for the chipset better for gaming? Spill the tea!!!

Apologies, I must've missed this!

I'm not sure what the exact reasoning was to be honest, I'll double check with the team and get back to you!

No worries! Generally curious. Also, is the R2 firmware based on OPENWRT?

Yes it's built on top of OpenWRT

Interesting. Is there a benefit of using OPENWRT?

Like what’s the performance gain vs other WRTs. Also, could you answer the mediatek question? If not it’s all Good

I would only be speculating if I answered that at this point, Liam will chat to the devs and get back to you!

Anything on this?

How about simply $$$.

 

There is more high end platforms available but they simply cost a lot more than a R2.

Yeah basically there were plenty of factors that were considered, there's no one reason why we went with this chipset. Things like availability, compatibility, etc.
