OpenWrt on RPi4 ?

[dasshubham762]

my Raspberry Pi 4B - 4GB RAM device which was used to run Openwrt for my home network.

Just a query, How was the performance of OpenWrt on RPi4 ?
I'm planning to use OpenWrt on my RPi4 with a USB to Ethernet adapter.

The Rpi4 performance is very good with Openwrt. The USB to Ethernet adapter will work but is a compromise. If you dont need gigabit speeds, use VLANs on the native ethernet

I need gigabit speed. Does the USB to Ethernet become speed bottleneck?

My WAN connections were less than 100 Mbps each. A friend who tested Rpi4 had 300 Mbps connection said the CPU utilisation was less than 30% during speed tests. I experienced latency with the USB 3.0 adapters I had, so moved to Opnsense after a short time with that setup

You mean OPNSense on RPi4?

Opnsense is not supported on Rpi4 yet. I moved to Opnsense on x86
