- dylan604 2y agoNo device comes off the shelf with OpenWRT. If you're the type of person that's aware of OpenWRT and then install it, it's not that far of a stretch to think you'd also be the type to know to check the password.

- dylan604 2y agoYour assumption is large. I am only thinking of a router with OpenWRT installed. Nothing about a wifi router with OpenWRT has anything to do with a door access device installed by a trained technician or not. The conversation only pertains to the words used, not the unwritten ones you're trying to insert in between the lines of my comment to make a totally unrelated point
