I once bought a router specifically for the purpose of installing OpenWRT on it but it turned out to be model xxxxx "v3" which means it was a hardware version 3 using an SoC component that would never be officially supported by OpenWRT until somebody does the thankless (and payless) job of building a custom mount to dump the chip's system files and reverse engineer them.

So I didn't get to use OpenWRT. Sad.
