So basically just lots of different versions of OpenWrt then!

When I was shopping for things a while back, the impression I got from the OpenWRT forums was that a lot of it is using older versions of OpenWRT with proprietary SDKs from silicon/platform vendors and it's not really upstreamable.

Is this just an assumption, or did you open many of them and have a look? If so, what line of devices did you look at out of curiosity?

Most of these FWs will not be able run on the device due to secure boot requirement

Do you have an example of one that you know won't run? Effectively all the routers should be flashable unless I'm mistaken and any of them that include GPLv3 or LGPLv3 software must allow it to be custom flashable due to the anti-tivoisation clause.

Wait I thought FCC regs prohibited flashing custom firmware that may be used to broadcast illegally (wrong frequency / wrong power)?

any of them that include GPLv3 or LGPLv3

Are there any at all? I can only find GPLv2.

GPL3 ones should provide some way to modify and run the code on the device

What's the best router to run openwrt?

I remember that the foundations started building its own router, a couple of years ago.
