Not a huge fan of the design decisions on that one. $250 target makes it a hard sell to anyone but network nerds. At $100, I would have no issues making that the default recommendation for anyone, regardless of technical knowledge. Being a premium point requires justifications beyond open source warm and fuzzies.

Network enthusiasts are likely to already have separate switches and WiFi points. Let the router just route.

I don't see the issue. Regular folks can go with the OpenWRT One, the Two is for the enthusiasts.
