Something made to have open source flashed safely. I use OpenWRT on my access points and router. Maybe not as easy but on the other hand nothing comes close in

Something made to have open source flashed safely. I use OpenWRT on my access points and router. Maybe not as easy but on the other hand nothing comes close in functionality (unless you buy products made for big business).
- davidhyde 6y agoThanks! Can you recommend a particular model?
- Dahoon 6y agoNo I'm not knowledgeable enough to recommend any specific models. I use an old Linksys WRT 1200 because I got it cheap. Some models come with DD-WRT or OpenWRT already installed. If flashing one yourself I'd recommend you buy one with room for two ROMs (so if it fails you can boot into the other one).

- jabl 6y agoFor 802.11n, choose something with the ath9k driver. For 802.11ac, there's unfortunately nothing with an open firmware, but it seems ath10k and mt76 receive the most attention by developers working on bufferbloat reduction etc. For 802.11ax, not sure there's anything available in the openwrt or mainline kernels yet. You might end up with something with a binary blob and you can't upgrade your kernel.
