but does it run openwrt?

e: no it doesn't, only one model had half-baked image made and available for download from some sketchy forum post made in 2014

A bunch of juvenile D-Linkuents. Get it? D-Link? Nevermind....

I moved to an OPNsense router a couple of years ago and I’ve never looked back. Hell is shitty consumer routers.

Why do they say they’re prohibited to provide support? That a bad translation?

Perfect time for users to buy something that isn't D-Link then innit.

Commodity hardware & open source software for the win.

When my Western Digital NAS was never going to get critical security patches, I was so freaking glad to find out that they just used software raid... I threw the HDDs in a Debian server and never looked back.

It's certainly nice to have things that are turn-key, but if you can find your way around any OS, just avoid proprietary everything.

I watched and enjoyed that one yesterday, and he's bang on the money. People here are saying "well it's EoL" but that means it's got all the way through development and its full lifetime with such a prominent set of bugs.

I don't think I'll be buying D-Link if that's what supported means.

OpenWRT is. Not sure if it's supported on that hardware tho.
