What was your experience? I’ve had two Linksys WRT routers running OpenWRT for 9 years and 7 years respectively, with several software upgrades in that time, and I’ve never had a problem.
Sorry for the delayed reply. I had a wrt3200x. I think a couple of years later they were acquired. One of the wifi radios had a driver issue that pretty much never got resolved because no one within linksys was willing to fix it on their end because it was a couple years old (and pre acquisition product).
I also nearly went insane learning about VLANs whilst trying to implement them with this router. Which was required by my ISP. A couple really weird issues that I ended up spending way too much time on my end trying to fix. Nearly put me off openwrt tbh but eventually I realised it was a firmware issue. Radio issue was similar or related to mwlwifi or something.
Thank god that model specifically had dual bios (amazingly handy feature) until I eventually even bricked that and couldn’t be bother fixing it via serial port.
Not the OP bit I had nothing bit troubles on my Linksys and OpenWRT and have up and bought an ASUS roiyer amd just used the stock firmware as my head was exploding.
