I'll preface this by saying that I have not seen this one myself.
But it is somewhat common for certain manufacturers to sell routers that claim to be OpenWrt-based/compatible, without actually being supported by vanilla OpenWrt. So you get a custom OWRT build, often with no further support, which is not that different from having a OEM firmware.
- tomxor 3y agoI haven't used any routers like that, and I don't know about vanilla OpenWRT support for RUTx devices, but RutOS is free and open source, continually developed, and they provide an SDK for customisation [0]. So far RutOS firmware updates have been frequent, something like monthly, and there has even been some modem firmware updates for my 5GLTE router (never saw a modem firmware update for any other modem/router i used). They are marketed towards industrial not consumer and come with the associated price tag, so maybe that has something to do with it. They also use the same OS across all their devices so it makes sense that it's in continuous development. I was specifically looking for a 5GLTE modem/router when I came across teltonkia, at the time there was no other 5GLTE modem/router available that could run OpenWRT or similar, it was closed source unknowns all around except for them, so I was pretty happy to find them.
