With the rise of smart homes, smart routers have become the center of households. The concept of smart routers was first proposed because routers support plugin installations. Around 2014, MTK launched the MT7620 chip, developing an SDK using OpenWrt, which is an embedded router system that supports plugin installations. Consequently, major internet companies began to enter the smart router market, such as early models from Ji Router, Baidu Router, Xiaomi Router, etc. These companies have deeply customized the OpenWrt system and reserved some simple plugin installation interfaces, claiming to be smart routers. Products based on MT7620 include Ji Router 1s and Xiaomi Mini. Today, we will mainly introduce several routers that support flashing OpenWrt, and some routers also support flashing Merlin firmware.
The official OpenWrt now supports over 2000 models of routers. You can search for a specific brand or model. In fact, most routers can be upgraded to the OpenWrt system, but some manufacturers restrict flashing, requiring methods to access the backend. If you know how to change the FLASH, you can easily flash OpenWrt on most routers, but this requires a certain level of software and hardware knowledge.
