What mode was that speed test screenshot taken in? I will probably want to use Bridged mode as I already have a Ubiquiti router I disabled the features on because it hurts bandwidth, etc so looking forward to test it.

I run everything as a Router, and I've not tested a Bridge configuration (keep in mind, both images are identical until you change it).

I don't see why setup as a Bridge would hurt the speed any though.  I wasn't running Snort, though I was running Adblock.  Snort would probably drop it some, but I wouldn't expect TOO much.

The Itus version of OpenWrt, yes, I am working on bringing up the device so it can be included as an official device.  I've heard from some people that the Itus board was tested (at the time) for another manufacturer, so it's entirely possible someone will eventually bring it back under a different name.  But, for now, even if I can't get OpenWrt to include the device, being able to issue updates for the packages would already be in place.  It only becomes an issue when kernel gets updated (and I'm still working on 5.4).

Funny enough, if/when the Shield gets into OpenWrt, it'll share the repo with the Edgerouter and ER Lite..  Though, we've got better specs :D


(See how nice I made it look)
