Please, everyone:
This tech is still relevant in 2025?
What tech? Wifi?
I thought OpenWrt was kind of dead. Everyone uses pfsense as their open source router.
IMO, pfsense is for if you want to use an x86 PC as a router, while OpenWRT is for if you want your ARM-based commodity home router to run open source firmware.
it's not just for routers. you can (and should) use it on your access points.
I have six APs in my house for 100% WiFi coverage inside and outside my home.
Iโm actually so incredibly lazy I use a firewalla purple. And I love it. Youโll never take it away from me! Hiss!!!!
Are you thinking of ddwrt? OpenWrt is alive and thriving
ddwrt is what I was thinking of
Can second the other comments. OpenWRT is alive and well in parallel to PfSense. Different use cases for each.
