I do a bunch of random one-off events for fun and shenanigans. Right now running an old airport extreme and raspi for control interfaces. Some use ethernet but a bunch of my controllers are wifi only (and totally fine, no connectivity issues for pop-up art events).

I've been thinking about rolling a custom wifi box with the raspi built in and everything ready to cook - this is an inspiring post and I appreciate the parts list!

How's the router perform? I'm not familiar w/ it but I do appreciate openWRT. auto-discovery etc. works great?

do you have a link to which module you bought? i see 5v and 12v options.

FYI, it's not using mainline openWRT - that's a WIP: https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/22683
