Hi OpenWrt forums, I'm new to the router firmware flashing scene and I'm looking for some help.
Currently I have a Totolink A3002RU router acting as a gateway to the internet. I wanted to load OpenWrt on it because I'm pretty sure it has a backdoor in its factory firmware. I've looked at OpenWrt and DD Wrt supported device lists but I don't see A3002RU or Totolink listed.
From the device requirements page it seems OpenWrt will work, since my device has
Realtek chipset (RTL8197DN (600 MHz)),
8 MiB of flash(GigaDevice GD25Q64BSIG),
64 MiB of Ram (ESMT M14D5121632A-2.5B)
There's a place to upgrade the firmware, but I haven't tried anything in case I brick my router.
Thanks for your help.
