Comment on Router Hardware: How Much Paranoia is Too Much?
possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 days agoJeep in mind that OpenWRT isn’t really optimized for particular hardware. It is designed to run on anything which means it doesn’t have a lot of recovery options for bad updates and configurations. It isn’t terrible but if you interrupt power during a flash you can born the system.

Openwrt One is the official hardware. It is optimized for it.

The hardware is built to have good compatibly with OpenWRT. That doesn’t mean it has the same brick resistance as something like OPNsense.

Software is software. I can reflash all day regardless if openwrt or opnsense.

You are totally missing the point. OpenWRT doesn’t have a dual partition layout. If you bork the system do to a power loss or bad image you need a rescue cable or drive. I use a lot of OpenWRT but that is something to keep in mind.
