2025: Is there a product roadmap for Route 10?

Team Alta,

I have been evaluating the route 10, There are still many features outstanding.

Is there a roadmap of when we will see the feature gaps filled? even if its quarterly just to see when we have a fully feature rich system.

I am running this in production. but the lack of features makes full evaluation difficult. I am not going to do CLI hacks.

Key things:

Firewall management : Allow lists of things
User defined list for ports, ip address / subnet, ASN, Country to allow or block

Support for a GeoIP DB for allow/block for example Maxmind. Allow list/ block list

Policy Based Routed
WAN failover
Wan health reporting

VPN Client Support Wireguard / Openvpn

Secure DNS DoH, DoT,DoQ with user definable upstreams in GUI

Secure NTP Client/ Server: user definable in GUI

DPI: ipv4/ipv6 inc Quic/HTTP3 be nice to have

DHCP : options

Documentation needs some work. Each new feature needs documentation at launch. for example IPS/IDS was launched without much info on what is being implemented and what the settings mean and cover

I like the Route 10 , hardware is great, the feature gaps is where I am struggling. The lack of a roadmap means at present I cannot advise the purchase to replace synology, Ubiquiti and tplink routers on client sites.

Any info is welcome on where the Route 10 is heading.

Thanks to all at Alta for your hard work and all the best for 2025. I am sure Alta Labs will go from strength to strength.

I appreciate your write up @Quackers I as well am evaling it in my home prod network. It’s actually pretty nifty for what it is and I’m impressed so far but yeah I just wish it wasn’t lacking many of the features you actually mentioned. VPN client, PBR, and GEO are the big ones for me but also yeah documentation is pretty huge. Thanks for writing it up.

The lack of documentation is a bother for me as well.

These are all valid, but what concerns me the most right now is long term heat exposure to the internal components. Personally I wish Alta would’ve factored in some slotted vents on the top or sides of the Route10 to allow for heat dissipation.

The temp of this for me runs <40C. highest ive seem with both SFP and PoE port 45C-48C.

Testing put a Ubquiti UCg-Max. seeing 60C and above, Have a raspberry pi that runs hardly anything and that shows 38C so.

Add in BBR v3 as an option for tcp congestion control instead of the default cubic and reno.
