You can easily install openwrt on most of MikroTik routers. Rb5009 is also supported now if you need more powerful router. https://openwrt.org/toh/mikrotik/rb5

- mindslight 2mo agoFour devices is not "most". You had me excited that I might be able to abandon the proprietary UIs on my CRS326/CSS326. And I know those aren't the "real router" devices, but Mikrotik certainly refers to them as routers.
- msmagh 2mo agoHere is complete list -> https://toh.openwrt.org/?view=normal https://toh.openwrt.org/?view=normal 78 devices in total when you filter for mikrotik -> brand column.
- mindslight 2mo agoOh damn. I had just gone up one level from your first link (to https://openwrt.org/toh/mikrotik/start https://openwrt.org/toh/mikrotik/start) and saw a small list of 4. RB450 was on there (which I used to run), so I figured it was mostly accurate. That table is a much longer list! Still no love for my CRS/CSS, but it does look like that's probably most of the RB devices that Mikrotik actually intends for use as routers (rather than L3 switches).
- msmagh 2mo agoInteresting, didn't check this url before. https://openwrt.org/toh/start https://openwrt.org/toh/start Also has supported release version column, which is useful to have.
- mindslight 2mo agonote: That page has a link "Supported by current OpenWrt release" but it doesn't include the latest version! So it too could lead someone to conclude many fewer devices are supported.
