OpenWrt

More context

Discussion is split between practical OpenWrt device setups (combining hardware for Ethernet, running OpenWrt on NanoPi/NAS-style boards, and Wi‑Fi/VDSL performance quirks) and hands-on troubleshooting/build topics (boot loops, remote SSH access, WireGuard capacity limits, and kernel build issues like vermagic). There’s also interest in upstream forks/products, such as Start9’s RISC‑V router running the StartWRT OpenWrt fork.
