I've used DDWRT on my Netgear R7000 since they first came out. I periodically update DDWRT, but the reality is nothing really changes and it can barely keep up with my Xfinity bridged gig wlan connection. White its entirely adequate now, its 10 year old hardware and I would like to upgrade to open software on more capable new commodity hardware. We are in the era of multigig bandwidth, wifi 6+, mesh wifi etc. It doesn't seem like DDWRT is adapting.
Since I've lived in the DDWRT world, I'm not very familar with OpenWRT. Does OpenWRT support state of the art hardware, and if so what are a couple of options?
I personally have a Dynalink DL-WRX36, quad core Arm64 2.2 GHz, wifi 6.
I am very happy with it but also have some Broadcom routers with DDWRT still doing duty
Hi, I posted this request 10 months ago, but never got down to making the switch. I'm more motivated now since the 2.4ghz is acting up on the old R7000 running ddwrt. (the 5ghz is fine). So has anything changed in the 10 months? Are the Dynalink DL-WRX36 and the ASUS-TUF-AX4200 the ones to consider?
They are still decent options, but others (quite a few, actually) have joined the picture (and may be better and/or cheaper right now). The gist of it pretty much is filogic 830/ 820 or ipq807x.
