I got an Archer C7 and i am wondering what to do with it. It already runs openwrt, but we dont need another router.

Are there any recommendations on using a openwrt as Pi-Hole-like thing for example?

    Configure it like the current router and keep it as a backup?

    You can run a lot of stuff on it, but those boxes aren’t really that powerful… a cheap, old raspberry pi from ebay (or anything really) will serve you better.

    The c7 has a usb with enough juice to run a 2.5” external enclosure if memory serves. You need to link up with the portable file server person and form up.

    Access point?

    You might be able to configure it as a DNS server with block lists like pihole, but I don’t think it would be very productive.
