Greetings to all, my first G+ post in a while so hopefully I'm using the 'UI' correctly.

Recently Father Robert mentioned that he had 'a number of devices' running OpenWRT and some included it off-the-shelf.

Is there a list posted somewhere?

 

I've only found one vendor running it O-T-S, and that is the GLI series of small routers. I just obtained an AR-150 and am using it as a WAP; other uses are upcoming and I'll report back on success or not.

 

An older version of OpenWRT is also running on my stable, 10 y/o WRT54GL.

 

Any other experiences of note?

I don't know of any off-the-shelf Open-WRT routers, but Buffalo and I think a couple others make some DD-WRT routers.

Example:

Buffalo AirStation HighPower N600 Gigabit Dual Band Open Source DD-WRT Wireless Router (WZR-600DHP) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0096239G0/

 

Similar in features would be the Ubiquiti Edge Router X, but it doesn't include WiFi. Has a lot of pro-level features at a very affordable price.

Funny you should mention the EdgeRouter X - I have one. EdgeOS is Debian based, quite flexible but the main attraction is the very active community.

IMO DD-WRT is crap. Static image with no package repositories. Usually some version of OpenWRT will run on a DD-WRT capable router.

The GLI routers can be seen here: https://www.gl-inet.com/ Amazon stock ships quickly to the US. Ebay is slower but no $50 minimum purchase :-(.
