Pine64 Router?

[Spruce]

Hi there,

I thought that I recalled a mention in an old blog post about a possible Pine64 router... does anyone know anything about that? I would desperately love something along these lines with the usual Pine64 level of open software, hardware and security. I need to replace my failing router and would love to do it Pine style.

If a PineRouter doesn't and isn;t going to exist, then I noticed that someone was talking about installing OpenWRT on a RockPro64. What I don't understand about that, is how you would connect that to any client devices over ethernet when presumably the only ethernet port would be used to connect to the modem. Would it be WiFi clients only?

You should take a look at the Pine blog. There's a rundown of a router setup using the RockPro64, a 4 port eth card, and OpenWRT.
