&gt; \ufeffI have a buffalo wzr-600 and a 450. Both are quite old, but run openwrt. <br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; FYI: I retired them, to replace them with PFSense and ubiquity gear.<br>

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Hi All,<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; <br>
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Ed asked about what routers that can run OpenWrt, are sold (new) today. I had a list of 3 routers, but I am not finding it. However all of GL-iNET run a customized version of OpenWrt, and can easily be upgraded (use the sysupgrade image) to full OpenWrt<br>

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; <br>
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; TP-Link Archer C7 is also a Popular router which supports OpenWrt<br>

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; <br>
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; I have used both, and they work quite well with OpenWrt. Ones I haven&#39;t used, but if you have too much money:<br>
