Man I need to get off my ass and do that. I almost did last year but then some news dropped about firmware backdoors discovered in some routers, and I got scared lol.
To anyone else like me who wants to do it, there is a big list of supported hw by OpenWRT here. Also you can click around, they have listings for other mfgs.
That's weird; the "firmware backdoor" thing ought to have incentivized you to go for OpenWRT even more, not scared you off. OpenWRT is the solution to untrustworthy manufacturer-provided firmware!
This is great thank you
