Comment (by anonymous):
OpenWRT is the only aftermarket firmware.
There is no reason, why that device should be abandoned.
Design flaws (it's inevitable to use netifd even on those devices) in
newer OpenWRT can be compensated by using zram-swap. The performance is
still sufficient. (reboots gone).
You are right, the design of this device and some buffalos is (even older
that) 12 years, but these are robust devices.
You probably forget, that wireless communities all over europe still have
plenty installations involving WRT54GL and similar.
While some of the routers get replaced time after time, there are many old
routers out there, that may mutate to a bigger security hazard if not
updated soon.
