Just like the operating system on your computer & cell phone, you can change the software running on your router.

    We get it, you’re the smartest man in the room. None of that was helpful for that poor soul who asked you for a recommendation on how to step away from OTS routers.

      He asked for a recommendation which I can’t provide because I haven’t gone down the route he wants to know about, hence the first line and my explanation of why I chose not to do that.

      I then speculated how I would do it if I were in his position. Then I broke down his question to help him examine what he really wanted: a completely free(as in open source) appliance, a free operating system and or free drivers.

      Then finally I explained why you’re unlikely to get a truly free radio. I’m sorry if you or others found this unhelpful, I was just trying to condense quite a lot of information into a short post.

      I did just see this posted: https://lemmy.ninja/post/224052
