I'll preface this and say I'm not trying to be rude but rather have a better understanding of what's going on and if it's something that's resolvable. I removed DDWRT and installed OpenWRT about three years ago and shortly after was greeted with not being able to update as the systems were down. Then they came back up then went down again.etc. I got frustrated, was moving , and just put the router away. I was wanting to tinker with it again and pulled it out this last weekend....same issue persist. Just yesterday the system was up then down again. It's frustrating for the users and I also know for the sysadmin / devs.
My question is, again not trying to be rude at all , what is the problem and furthermore what is the health condition of the overall OpenWRT project itself? Is this long ongoing issue a symptom of a larger overarching issue with the project itself?
I'm thinking of buying a new router,flint 2, but I'm concerned about getting updates.
Again, I hope this post doesn't get taken out of context and is found in good faith. I'm not trying to devalue the time and effort of the admins and devs at all.
