is it possible to go back to the original firmware?

I'm not familiar with making calls via a router.

Regarding the firmware, have you attempted flashing it via the web GUI?

Hi
before installing openwrt,
I wanted to make sure I could go back to the original firmware

I do not own this device, and have rarely reverted back to OEM firmware.

The device page notes a TFTP method, I would surmise you would use the same method to reflash the OEM firmware. You can always test by flashing the OEM firmware over itself.
