OpenWrt is a free and open-source Linux operating system for supported routers and embedded devices.

Unlike stock firmware, it provides a fully writable system with package management, letting you install features like WireGuard, AdGuard Home, VPNs, mesh networking, custom firewalls, and more.

It's a privacy-friendly alternative to manufacturer firmware, giving you full control over your router without vendor lock-in.

Inexperience mainly. It's one of those things I've never actually done, only looked at how to do.

That setup is precisely what I do when I'm inexpensive when I'm inexperienced at something. XD
