I still have my WRT54G around somewhere. Loved that thing. What I found interesting was that when the firmware went open demand for that model went through the roof. Wish more companies would realize that there is a demand for that market.
I had mine running for probably 10+ years but eventually started acting screwy a few years back. I went ahead and upgraded to a TP-Link and I’ve bee satisfied with it. I haven’t looked into if you can still get these custom firmwares for modern routers - but I’ve also been satisfied with the interface and the performance.
Yeah. I’ve had a couple of their little travel routers which are a lot of fun. But apparently you can’t flash custom builds on one of their more recent models.

You can. ASUS actually based their official firmware off of one of them, and there is a custom mod of that too.
gl.inet bases all their firmwares on OpenWRT AFAIK

Removed by mod
Yea that model was manufactured / sold forever. It really was awesome at the time.
But how are you gonna push your internet security monthly subscription with open firmware silly
