After looking into travel routers a bit, I quickly came across Gl.iNet which seems to be a leader in the space. It seems they use OpenWRT which is great, but with some special sauce on top of it.

In a few different posts I’ve seen people mention that they are no longer open source. Does anyone know if this is the case? I see some activity on their Github repo, but am not quite sure which parts people are worried about being closed.

    Can you share links for those claims? I don’t personally own one of those devices but I’m genuinely curious as I’ve deployed a couple of GL.iNet GL-MT6000 with OpenWRT and things work out.
