If memory serves me right, then TP-Link itself was selling routers with OpenWRT on them by default just 2-3 years back. I remember as I had few discussions with people when I was trying to buy a router for self-needs 2-3 years back. If what you say is true, then there is actually no point in buying TP-Link routers . There are some FANCY Linksys routers but then one has to again (sigh!) manually port OpenWRT on them . https://www.linksys.com/in/p/P-WRT1900ACS/#product-features http://www.amazon.in/Linksys-WRT1900ACS-AC1900-Dual-Band-Wireless/dp/B014MIBLSA Do wish there were some openwrt natively embedded routers would have been cool. I would also look at the mikrotik ones for future reference, thank you. > HTH, > -- Arun Khan > _______________________________________________ > plug-mail mailing list > plug-mail@plug.org.in > http://list.plug.org.in/listinfo/plug-mail > -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal शिरीष अग्रवाल My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com EB80 462B 08E1 A0DE A73A 2C2F 9F3D C7A4 E1C4 D2D8 _______________________________________________ plug-mail mailing list plug-mail@plug.org.in http://list.plug.org.in/listinfo/plug-mail
