WELCOME TO THE OPENWRT PROJECT

The OpenWrt Project is a Linux operating system targeting embedded devices.
Instead of trying to create a single, static firmware, OpenWrt provides a fully
writable filesystem with package management. This frees you from the application
selection and configuration provided by the vendor and allows you to customize
the device through the use of packages to suit any application. For developers,
OpenWrt is the framework to build an application without having to build a
complete firmware around it; for users this means the ability for full
customization, to use the device in ways never envisioned.

See the Table of Hardware for supported devices. For more information about
OpenWrt project organization, see the About OpenWrt pages.


OPENWRT ONE ROUTER OFFICIALLY LAUNCHED

Today marks the release of the OpenWrt One, the first router built with your
right to repair and software freedom in mind. Powered by MediaTek MT7981B SoC,
it boasts features like dual-band WiFi-6 (3×3/2×2), PoE, dual Ethernet ports,
and a mikroBUS expansion header. Priced at US$89 (or US$68.42 for a board-only
version), this hacker-friendly router is unbrickable and FCC-compliant.

Regardless of where you buy from, for every purchase of a new OpenWrt One, a
US$10 donation will go to the OpenWrt earmarked fund at SFC. Your purchase not
only improves your software right to repair, but also helps OpenWrt and SFC
continue to improve the important software and software freedom on which we all
rely!

WHY USE OPENWRT?

People install OpenWrt because they believe it works better than the stock
firmware from their vendor. They find it is more stable, offers more features,
is more secure and has better support.

 * Extensibility: OpenWrt provides many capabilities found only in high-end
   devices. Its 3000+ application packages are standardized, so you can easily
   replicate the same setup on any supported device, including two (or even
   five) year old routers. More...

 * Security: OpenWrt's standard installation is secure by default, with Wi-Fi
   disabled, no poor passwords or backdoors. OpenWrt's software components are
   kept up-to-date, so vulnerabilities get closed shortly after they are
   discovered. More...

 * Performance and Stability: OpenWrt firmware is made of standardized modules
   used in all supported devices. This means each module will likely receive
   more testing and bug fixing than stock firmware which can be tweaked for each
   product line and never touched again. More...

 * Strong Community Support: OpenWrt team members are regular participants on
   the OpenWrt Forum, OpenWrt Developer and OpenWrt Admin mailing lists, and
   OpenWrt's IRC channels. You can interact directly with developers, volunteers
   managing the software modules and with other long-time OpenWrt users,
   drastically increasing the chances you will solve the issue at hand. More...

 * Research: Many teams use OpenWrt as a platform for their research into
   network performance. This means that the improvements of their successful
   experiments will be available in OpenWrt first, well before it gets
   incorporated into mainline, vendor firmware. More...

 * Open Source/No additional cost: OpenWrt is provided without any monetary
   cost. It has been entirely created by a team of volunteers: developers and
   maintainers, individuals and companies. If you enjoy using OpenWrt, consider
   contributing some effort to help us improve it for others! All of the above
   is possible because OpenWrt is part of the Open Source community, and powered
   by Linux kernel. Get the source code...

OPENWRT JOINS SOFTWARE FREEDOM CONSERVANCY (SFC)



SFC has welcomed us into their organization1):

September 10, 2020 OpenWrt — building on their sixteen years of success as the
most popular Free and Open Source (FOSS) wireless router project — today joins
Conservancy as a member project. FOSS wireless routers assure software freedom
for all Internet users. Conservancy will help OpenWrt continue to thrive and
grow as its new fiscal sponsor. OpenWrt occupies a special place in the history
of software freedom. OpenWrt's creation and launch shows that GPL enforcement
works and advances software freedom. In 2004, when Linksys released the firmware
code for the WRT54G router series, coders and tinkerers regained control over
their own routers, and launched OpenWrt based on the sources liberated from GPL
enforcement. Today, OpenWrt leverages software freedom protected by the GPL to
share that freedom and control with everyone who uses wireless routers to
connect to the Internet.
