Replying to Avatar Tristan Brice Velloza Kildaire

Another router has OpenWRT now flashed onto it.

Had to first boot an older image then flash it. Then I could load the bigger image (newer firmware) and flash that.

Presumably I could not flash the bigger image whilst net-booted from it because the whole OS was in RAM alongside the uploaded image which jumped out of available memory. I guess that is why.

All in all, a great day!

I'm not sure if I can yet say. I am running the 19 series of OpenWRT, whilst not incredibly old it also is not very new. So I would have to see if I can upgrade them first and then I can make a recommendation.

I would say that visiting the OpenWRT website is best. Check their Table of Hardware (ToH) and look for yourself.

The beauty of OpenWRT is that it brings massive capabilities and features to even the cheapest routers it supports (software-wise). I did buy a cheap Xiaomi Mi Router 4A and it installed on that. But as Tristan says look at their website for what they support, and see which models are available for you to buy.
