Vorkonfigurierte FreiFunk-Router
Hier findet man eine Liste von vorkonfigurierten FreiFunk-Routern, die man bei uns. zum selbstkosten Preis kaufen, kann.
Was muss ich bezahlen?
Wie schon bereits erwähnt, gibt es den Router zum selbstkosten Preis. Man bezahlt also nur für den Router und nicjht für die Software oder das Konfigurieren.
- Die Software ist gratis wie bei "Frei Bier", man kann sie sogar von unserem Wbsite herunterladen
- Das Konfigurieren übernehmen wir oder, sollte das vorhandene Tutorial nicht ausreichen, wir bringen es dir bei.
- Den Router müssen wir kaufen, also gibt's den nicht gratis.
Are the prices here accurate?
Yes and No
Yes, because we are checking them regularly to keep them up-to-date.
No, if we can get a router on summer or winter sale it will become cheaper.
The prices below, are the prices without any price reduction. If you buy for example, an archer c7 on summer sale, it will only cost you 72€ and not the 90€ announced here. In any situation, you will pay for the router the same amount as we did, after all you get it at cost price.
What router should i buy?
It all depends on your situation:
- Do you need 2.4GHz and 5GHz?
- Do you want to install a FreiFunk node indoor or outdoor or both?
- How many clients your network needs to handle?
- How many MB/s you want to have on your network?
For normal Home using a TP-Link WR940N is mostly enough. If you want also 5GHz, take the Archer C5.
If you want to setup a FreiFunk network in a bigger bar, you can take the Archer C7 or the Fritzbox 4040.
If you want to provide FreiFunk in your company or for an event, than you will need perhaps an offloader.
In any case, if you are not sure which router to get, feel free to contact us under freifunk@c3l.lu.
