If one manages to install OpenWRT, installing Tor is just a matter of a few clicks. If you think this is a problem, you can build images with this package already included, no need for custom hardware. And be careful with configuring as an exit node by default: quite some services and web pages, e.g. freenode IRC, disallow a connection if it comes from an exit node, even if the connection is made without Tor. I brought this up about a year ago and people here found not much wrong with such behaviour, so it's unlikely it'll be addressed. Still it's very confusing for the non-experts, of course.
