I find openWRT is a really useful firmware project and I use it in any situation where it is feasible. Bandwidth Throttling / QOS is often in demand. Wireless Bridging works well. A nice side effect of using openWRT is that you sidestep many of the "backdoors" that sometimes appear (intentionally or otherwise) in stock firmware.
I also helped create a page that can help find the current most powerful routers that support WRT:

- simplexion 12y agoIt's such a shame that WD discontiued their MyNet range. I have a N750 and it is an awesome router with OpenWrt running. It was far more powerful (SoC + Memory) than any other router I looked at. I bought it for AUD$50. The closest router in terms of price + power was a TP-Link for around AUD$70 and it still was behind on features.
- zobzu 12y agorouters are more expensive and less flexible these days. industry decided that. what you could get for 50usd (and runs linux, reflashable with your own fw) is now around 200usd and does not support open firmwares like openwrt. because you know, capitalism and stuff.
