My router (TP Link) said it had a firmware update. I'm a responsible adult, so I update my firmware. When I log back in, I get this popup that they'd like to share my clients info.

cool...

tp link routers tend to run openwrt pretty well.

Of course, I have the TP-Link router that isn't well-supported ๐Ÿ˜–

I kind of miss my old Linksys routers, which officially supported third-party firmware.

I am a fan of gl.inet stuff, they come with [a customized version of] OpenWRT preinstalled. I'm a industrial tech and I've used a couple of their products as hotspots when working on machines for years, I've even connected multiple together to work on 2-3 production lines on different subnets at the same time.
