List of router firmware projects
This is a list of notable firmware-modification projects for wireless routers or software distributions for PC-based routers that have been created and are maintained by people and groups other than the manufacturer of the product. Many of these will run on various brands of Linux-based devices, such as Linksys, Asus, Netgear, etc. The extent of support for (and testing on) particular hardware varies from project to project.
- OpenWrt – Customizable FOSS firmware written from scratch. Features a combined SquashFS/JFFS2 file system and the package manager opkg[1] with over 3000 available packages (Linux/GPL).
- Commotion Wireless – FOSS mesh networking
- DD-WRT – Based on OpenWrt code, paid and free versions available[2]
- Gargoyle – Gargoyle is a free OpenWrt-based Linux distribution for a range of Broadcom and Atheros chipset based wireless routers.
- LEDE is founded as a spin-off of the OpenWrt project and shares many of the same goals.
- libreCMC – libreCMC is an FSF-endorsed derivation of OpenWRT with the proprietary blobs removed.[3] The LibreWRT team joined libreCMC in 2015.
- Roofnet project for Wireless community networks
- DebWRT – Debian on embedded devices combines the Linux kernel from OpenWrt and the package management system from Debian (Linux/GPL).[4]
- HyperWRT – Early power-boosting firmware project to stay close to official WRT54G and WRT54GS firmware but add features such as transmit power, port triggers, scripts, telnet, etc. HyperWRT was succeeded by Tomato and is no longer being maintained.
- Earthlink's IPv6 firmware – IPv6 feature added to original Linksys firmware
- Zeroshell – Routers and bridges with VPN, QoS, load balancing and other functionalities
