GL-iNet devices run DD-WRT, with an added (probably not open source) web interface. However, if you ssh into any of their routers, it’s BusyBox and DD-WRT. And if you click go into the admin web page and click System->Advanced you end up with a link that takes you to luci, the raw DD-WRT web UI for the device. The company’s UI is just a simpler, more pretty UI on top of DD-WRT.
@sxan @elyviere In particular, there are two gl.inet models that you can install openwrt on: https://forum.openwrt.org/t/best-newcomer-routers-2024/189050/2
The other models run modified openwrt but don't necessarily allow you to install a stock openwrt release.

They run a custom version of OpenWRT. However, I would run stock OpenWRT since it is better supported.
