Turris Omnia I 2,5 Gbps SFP, 1,6 GHz CPU,2 GB RAM,Wi-Fi 5 3X3 MIMO, 4G/5G SIM-Slot, 3X mPCIe, hi-Performance, Open Source, 2,5 Gbps WAN/LAN, 5X GLAN/GWAN, 2X USB 3.0, Made, Designed in EU

I recently changed from a WRT3200ACM which, essentially, is exactly the same but with flexibility to upgrade the wireless controllers, add an internal SSD, support for faster Internet using SFP, and more memory. I’m still in the testing phase but configuration was relatively straightforward but you do need to get around the fact the router runs a derivative of OpenWRT called TurrisOS. You are essentially running OpenWRT but with some additions and improvements from Turris. I think you can also run without the TurrisOS if you directly flash OpenWRT. You can use either OpenWRT or eForis from Turris to configure the router. eForis has the advantage of being very simple to use for most tasks, ie it does not yet support VLAN tagging which I had to configure using OpenWRT. [Update 2023-Feb-04] As time has passed owning this router has become a great decision. And I am happier by the day owning it. The operating system is updated almost daily so you will always benefit from the latest and greatest that OpenWRT and the team at Turris has to offer. And because you are essentially running OpenWRT there is plenty of technical information you can use to configure the modem. So owning this router is good for your personal and professional enjoyment. The router is essentially a battle tank: Unstoppable. It doesn't crash, it doesn't slowdown. Once you configure it, it just runs. And because it has been designed to be modular as new technology comes out you can keep the hardware updated. Namely, I just updated it to WIFI 6. All I needed to do was swap the WIFI 5 cards for WIFI 6 cars, reboot and re-configure my settings (DNS, WIFI, NTP, etc). It took me about 40 minutes and I just needed to buy 1 WIFI card. I highly recommend this router as an investment into the future.

I bougt the Turris OMNIA so I coud bypass my ISP-router by connecting the fiber WAN connection directly to th Turris OMNIA. (You may also need to buy a SFP fiber module to do so if your ISP router does not have a removable one.) I'm very happy with this router, and I have used it for 2 years.

It's expensive for what you get but for an out of the box open source router it's currently the best option. I plan on upgrading the device later with WiFi6 and an LTE modem so the versatility is a nice. WiFi range is comparable to my first generation Eero. I would recommend it to anyone who prioritizes open source, is tech savvy and looking for solid hardware support compared to the cheaper alternatives.

This router offers a ton of flexibility and potentially pretty long service life with the linux software. The metal case makes this one of the few routers I feel comfortable putting objects on top of. The power brick included is a 40W power supply. The router itself uses very little power (not sure if my measurement of less than 1W was correct), but the additional capacity is there to help supply plenty of power to expansions in the pci slots and usb port. I was able to run this off a lower powered power brick. The multi color LED indicators are useful, and can be adjusted from very bright and shiny to low and easy on the eyes. Setup is a bit tricky, not as trouble free as other routers. The automatic time setting didn't appear to work so I manually entered the time. I didn't get any internet when DNS was set to the default "provider settings", I needed to choose a specific DNS provider (eg. Google) from the drop down list before I could access internet. When setting up wifi, I lazily connected 2 of 3 antennaes, ommitting the center antennae: this resulted in very low speeds at 2.4ghz and 5ghz not working at all. After I connected the 3rd antennae, I got 210 mbps down/ 240 up over wifi and 800 down /600 up over ethernet, which is about right for my network. The Turris interface is not hard to navigate and lets you configure all standard router stuff, while the optional Loci interface provides a way to install, run and monitor programs you intend to run on the router. I like this linux based software having lots of updates, meaning security and longevity should be better than proprietary router software. With more complexity comes more chance of making a user error. You can long press the reset button to induce a factory reset and bail you out, but according to the manual if you press for a duration other than 5 seconds, you will induce an "advanced recovery mode". I don't exactly like the idea of a panic button that doesn't save you if you press the wrong number of seconds. Overall, this router is a good way to get support of open source software, and it does well in the role of both router and server. Just be prepared for a bit more manual work to get this running than other routers.

Nice unit but it's seriously under powered for modern connection speeds. 200Mbit/s connection drops to 60Mbit/s with OpenVPN, even with a 128bit connection. Tried two different vpn providers with the same result. A Wireguard tunnel on the Omnia can maintain 180-200Mbit/s, but there are few VPN vendors that provide Wireguard configs for OpenWRT. Additionally the wifi signal strength is less than impressive and suffers beyond 5m. Good concept and features, but overpriced, under powered, and poorly executed hardware. I would not buy it again.

Been using it since i got it, no issues what-so-ever and been super happy with it ever since!

Die Turris Omnia habe ich gekauft, weil ich zu Hause einen NAS-Server haben wollte. NAS funktioniert super und ich bin sehr zufrieden damit - ich mag auch die dimmbare Icons, die in der Nacht nicht stören, und genug Ethernet-Ports. Die Leistung ist ausreichend und ich habe kein Problem gefunden. In den nächsten Tagen werde ich weitere Funktionen wie Honeypot und openWRT testen.

Sehr gute Qualität und viele Funktionen. Bestes Angebot für diesen Preis!

Sehr hochwertig Router, kann nur weiter Empfehlen

I purchased this router because of its hardware "a bit of flexibility", I'm not sure why the vendor/manufacture claims open hardware. There are plenty of hardware out there supporting opensource development. Anyway, the cut of metal chassis is not even there are some gaps, albeit small; but they really need to consider quality control more carefully especially when you pay that much amount of money (it's an expensive router). The good thing in my opinion is the hardware flexibility as it has mini pcie in which you can add/modify modules (e.g. WWAN, different wifi adapter, etc..); other than that it's a normal router. I understand it has 2GB of RAM, but usually in normal operation (as router) this much ram will not be utilized to a degree to affect the performance, unless you will run service(s) (e.g. http). So, this not an advantage in case you want just an opensource router.. So, at the end of the day and after testing this router, I can't see that much (hi-performance) difference of my Linksys wrt3200 (runs openwrt) or Asus rt-ac86u (runs Asus-Merlin). The wifi range of the current installed wifi modules is NOT impressive (like many other routers). I don't want to talk about the software issue(s), as this easy to solve if you have some experience/knowledge which I assume anyone wants to purchase this router should have. In conclusion, if you want to try openwrt or any opensource firmware, then you may go for a cheaper alternative which will give you what you may need. For the adaptive firewall and real-time security (you need to agree/subscribe to send some parameters of your network traffic), this is not a new/unique thing as other vendors do the same. For example, Asus offers same thing "for free" as they claim "commercial-grade network security system powered by Trend Micro". The only thing you may get from this router is some flexible slots, but this comes with cost (at least double of the amount you may pay for other routers in the market). These “some” other routers would give you the same joy, performance, etc.. for less (of-course at some degree). This review given in good faith and intend to help someone to decide whether or not to purchase this router.
