OpenWrt is a highly extensible GNU/Linux distribution for embedded devices. Unlike many other distributions for these routers, OpenWrt is built from the ground up to be a full-featured, easily modifiable operating system for your router. In practice, this means that you can have all the features you need with none of the bloat, powered by a Linux kernel that's more recent than most other distributions.

The current stable branch is Backfire and the most recent release is OpenWrt 10.03.1 'Backfire'. Binaries and source code are available here:

• Images (Downloads)
• Release Notes
• Changelog
• SVN Tag

Please visit the version history page for an overview of previous releases.

The general method for picking the right image is visiting the Table of Hardware (which has replaced the old version of the Table), then matching the "Platform & Frequency" of your device with the image you're downloading. Sometimes, the "Status" column will have additional information for your device, such as building its image or device-specific installation instructions.

If there isn't a pre-built image for your device, follow the Building OpenWrt instructions to build a custom image.

Any bugs in the firmware should be reported via the ticket system.
