Hi David A number of reasons why I chose it actually. Note that I wanted a standard router with Wifi and 4G backup for my Micro sites e.g. no Astlinux box. There are less reasons when the Netgear LB router is used purely for 4G backup for an Astlinux appliance but still some.
1. A far more comprehensive feature set considering it is based on OpenWRT. The main features I wanted was OpenVPN (hopefully Wireguard eventually) for access during 4G failover and SSH for management (including SSH tunnelling) but there are also many more. 2. Dual external antennas. Not proven but I suspect that they will be better than the internal Netgear antenna. 3. Better support and regular updates. I have read too much recently regarding residential grade products having known vulnerabilities left because they are EoL. E.g. https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/despite-serious-security-flaws-d-link-may-never-patch-some-of-its-routers/ 4) Appears to have a much better build quality with a metal case and power connector lock 5) Its actually not that much more expensive e.g. $50 AU I have not used it in production yet so I will let you know how I go. I still have some concerns about it as with all new products but I at least need to get it out there.

The only authentication methods I have with the RUT240 are Static Key, Password, TLS & TLS/Password. As there is no Certificate option, can I still connect into Astlinux?
