It's really sad how the custom router firmware scene dried up since the early 2010s. Manufacturers blocking these installs more agressively, with more complicated and vendor-specific quirks most new devices are incompatible, and even if, setup is more problematic. The most common suggestion for custom router firmware is to just set up a dedicated device like a Raspberry for this task, and use dumb WIFI access points and gigabit switches.

- encryptluks2 5y agoThis is pretty far from the truth. A lot of mainstream router firmwares still suck and have gotten worse in many ways, especially the mesh WiFi router scene.
