Hi,
First of all, to all the people involved in the turris project, a huge thank you for all your efforts and work! I just learned about turris mox and as a 2gb ram omnia owner (indiegogo backer), I was just wondering what is the selling point/advantage of the mox router to an omnia owner, apart from the modularity. The super early bird perk for omnia users is a turris mox as a wireless coverage extender, but turris omnia already has a very good wireless coverage, and as a wireless extender, it’s a bit expensive. The super early bird perk plus the shipping is almost half the price of the indiegogo campaign omnia, with the other modules how expensive will it be? The omnia is already very modular, compared to other routers, we can already buy more powerful wireless cards to extend coverage, and maybe in the future it will support cards with new generation wifi tecnology with better speeds and coverage. The detachable external antennas are also easily upgradable when compared to internal antennas, I upgraded mine with Linksys WRT004ANT-EU High Gain Antennas. I know there are people with HUGE houses that will want the mox even though there are cheaper wifi extenders, but for someone that has an omnia and has no problems with wifi coverage, what is the selling point/advantage of backing the super early bird perk? I will back the campaing when it starts next week because I’m a huge fan of your work and I think open source and open hardware projects like yours are very important, awesome and worth supporting, but I think this time I’ll back it with a perk like the t-shirt, stickers or posters, if they are available as in the last campaign… If I didn’t have an omnia I would consider buying a mox, but right now, with the information and specs available I simply can’t find it useful (for me personally), especially with this price tag. Maybe someone involved in the project can share their own perspective about the mox and change my mind =P (PLEASE CHANGE MY MIND, I really want to support you by buying one but I simply can’t justify it). Sorry for the very long post…
