I have many nerdy friends who have been Linux users for ages. But most of them don’t know such a thing as Openwrt exists or have never bothered to give it a try. It’s a very fun piece of software to play with and can be extremely useful for routing traffic. Wondering why it isn’t more popular/widely used.

    then you should get a commercial router compatible with openwrt

      Or, I keep using my Fritzbox, which is a single device and does everything I want.

      As far as I know, there is no cable modem/router integrated device.

        the option i suggested is also a single device.

        most commercial routers can run openwrt. you dont need a specialized device.

            thats something you would have to discuss with your cable company, and they would probably tell you to fuck right off.

            i wouldnt recommend you to mess with that anyway if you dont want to have a variety of problems.
