OpenWrt One and local AI = new superpower
For most people, home networking is one of those things where you get it set up once through the clunky GUI, forget about it, and hope that Linksys/TP-link/whoever keeps it up to date for you. You don't learn or retain the technical intricacies of networking bc you never really needed to. And, of course, now I can configure anything via English.Unbelievable game changer.
