How does this compare to DD-WRT? I’m using that on my accesspoint and so far I have no problems.

- ixs 4y agoMuch wider hardware support with OpenWRT. If the hardware is accessible and supports Linux, there is an OpenWRT target for it. There’s even a x86 and a raspberry target. If you’re happy with DD-WRT, no pressing need to change it. But if you want more features or specific packages, OpenWRT is the thing to look at.
- bubblethink 4y agoopenwrt is the more serious/upstream friendly distribution that is maintained and updated like traditional linux distributions. DD-WRT may support some abandonware like broadcom wifi devices.
