I’m looking to replace my portable modem with a GL.iNet router because I saw that they claim to use OpenWRT which is a open source firmware.
My question is:
Is their OpenWRT version actually reliable?
You must log in or register to comment.
I bought a Slate Plus just last month and simply flashed it with vanilla OpenWRT as soon as I opened the box. I certainly wouldn’t trust the stock firmware, but this is so easy to remedy it’s barely worth talking about.
You can always reflash it with your own if you hold that concern.
On OpenWRT official Table of Hardware from what I researched, it only lists older models and not new ones, I’m afraid of buying them and not being able to install vanilla OpenWRT on them.
The newest Flint 2 model has mainline OpenWRT support. It will be included in the next stable release but can already be used through the testing branch.
