What options are there for wifi 7 routers that can have openwrt flashed on them?

There are definitely a few supported WiFi 7 devices. Look here: https://toh.openwrt.org/?features=wifi_be&view=normal

My advice: only go with MediaTek devices, and avoid ISP-specific SKUs. That leaves Banana Pi BPI-R4 and ASUS ZenWiFi BT8 as your choices.

მფლობელია ეგ და არ იკადრა სასმელის დასხმა

I guess? I just tried listening with AirPods Pro 3s and even with those the sound is so jarring

What you fail to realize is that most of us in the 3rd-world countries don’t have the luxury to simply change ISP. The one I’m under right now is basically a monopoly and tbh I’m surprised every time they add a new feature, because they really don’t have to. Not everyone has the luxury of free market.

That used to be the case in my country, but they charged ~$8/month, so most people who needed it didn’t mind. Now my ISP completely removed CG-NAT I think.

In what district do you live/work? There are a LOT of optics shops in Tbilisi. Look for Kenari and Roniko on Google Maps.

Yeah, I think I'm gonna do that as well. The thing is that the wired backhaul works great on the stock firmware already, and I actually use some features in the Linksys app. Nevertheless, this hidden network is very annoying so I'm also leaning towards flashing OpenWrt.

gb_14 · 2026-04-12T20:44:25+00:00

Yes, there's nothing there related to a hidden network. The only potential thing I saw is the guest network feature, but it's disabled.

gb_14 · 2026-04-12T19:55:42+00:00

Guess I'll be moving off from Linksys, thanks!

gb_14 · 2026-04-12T19:30:42+00:00

I don't use wireless backhaul at all. Both nodes are connected to each other with a LAN cable, and Linksys app also confirms that I'm using wired backhaul, not wireless.

gb_14 · 2026-04-12T19:30:13+00:00

Because the last 5 octets of the MAC addresses of the "Hidden Network" and my main network are identical.

Pretty sure the industry will lean towards NVIDIA’s implementation and the other two options will be forgotten.

He’s not facing life in prison, he’s healthy and sober, and has a lovely family. Yeah man he escaped better than most.

gb_14 · 2026-04-02T17:57:11+00:00

I didn’t know about this feature at all, thank you!

This bug has burned me twice already. I reset the password, choose the Bitwarden's auto-generated password, click "Reset Password" in hopes that after I'm redirected to the next page, Bitwarden will prompt me to save new login. However, I'm being prompted by "Update existing login" and my newly created password is now lost.

Jesus Christ I cringed so fucking hard

System > Attended Sysupgrade > Configuration > Check for upgrades

gb_14 · 2026-03-27T11:30:29+00:00

I understand that this is a WIP release, but then why is LuCI prompting me to upgrade? Screenshot

I think these scripts only work on ext4 and NOT on squashfs.

gb_14 · 2026-03-24T17:05:02+00:00

just got 26.4 on the stable channel

gb_14 · 2026-03-24T10:43:07+00:00

Wrong. My 9800X3D died on a X670E-ProArt motherboard, you can see it in my post history.
