  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.

        Ah I was not aware of that. Guess never cared because I have all the tools to reflash/reinstall ready to go with off-site config backups. But isnt this why you should have HA If it’s that critical? Guess more recovery options the better.
