Running OpenVPN or similar will require you to use the CLI but once its done it works very well, in fact I've used it for years now on different platforms including the WDR3600. While this may need a bit more knowledge than just clicking around in some GUI you can configure it to do exactly what you want and since its pretty much like any other Linux distribution in this regard you can find a lot of information on the web. Basic configuration (WIFI, Firewall etc) can be done using the WebUI called LuCI, the rest is usually done using CLI (command line). OpenWRT is much more modular depending on what you want to do, as routers have limited storage you may want to use it differently depending on your usage. Compared to DD-WRT it features open source (which DD-WRT doesn't have), it does acknowledge developers compared to DD-WRT which pretty much took work and rebranded it as their own.įrom a user perspective it's a bit more advanced than DD-WRT (haven't used it in years) I guess but you can do pretty much anything DD-WRT and more but it may be a bit different. The OpenWRT community is pretty much what drives the 3rd party firmwares overall. The ones I mentioned above are pretty easy to find even if you're in the UK.

No, use if you want to look at supported devices.Īnyhow, if you want recent platforms and an Atheros one for best support as they have the best open source support around at least right now.
