What is OpenWrt?
OpenWrt is a highly extensible GNU/Linux distribution designed for embedded devices, particularly wireless routers. Unlike typical firmware that provides a static, limited set of applications, OpenWrt offers a fully writable filesystem with robust package management. This allows users and developers to customize the device by installing a wide range of packages tailored to their specific needs and applications. OpenWrt's flexible architecture frees users from the constraints of vendor-provided configurations, empowering them to transform their devices into powerful, adaptable platforms that can be molded to suit any use case
