• Recommendation for a wifi router with L2TP or other VPN server support?

  If your current router supports a custom firmware like openWRT then you could do this without having to buy a new one. Source: 3 months ago

• OpenWrt Site Account Creation

  Unfortunately, I can't create an account via Github on the openwrt site. Source: 5 months ago

• openwrt.org not loading

  Anyone else having trouble reaching openwrt.org right now? I can't get the forums, main page or downloads. I've done plenty of troubleshooting and there isn't anything else on my network having trouble reaching anything else on the internet. Source: 6 months ago

• Things just got a little weird, my current network is down, I'm a newb trying to start from the ground up and I found out I actually have another (newer) wifi router.... what to do?

  On the router. openwrt.org has lots of great documentation that lays out exactly what you're looking for and then some. Source: 8 months ago

• As of June 2023, what is the best router that I could buy specifically for ease of use with all things pi-hole related

  Is the Verizon one a combined modem/router? If you want to add your own router, you might have to call them and ask them to put it into bridged mode. I like OpenWRT because it gives you a lot of customization options. I've just been running it on an old TP-Link Archer C7 for the past 5 years or so and I haven't had any issues, but that's ancient hardware now. Source: 9 months ago
