Glad for you to enjoy it) i’m too planning to buy and solder 32MB rom chip on all my old routers and build openwrt for them to revive them and i already bought 64MB ram chips that laying around waiting for their time, it would be cool to build mesh network between all my family, also connect all of routers to vps with vpn and pihole installed
That’s really interesting. Are those routers already supported by the project, or are you going to port yourself? Maybe you could document the process and post it somewhere, ifyouh have the time ;)
Yes, I’m planning to port) though i didn’t ported openwrt before, i have confidence that i will do this with usual “fuck around and find out” (push through with relative documentation and trial and error), after all this is how newbies learn how to use open source projects, back in the day, 8 years ago, i started using linux that way, where to post it documentation though? When i do it I’m going to post it
I certainly will) just ordered 10 w25q256 rom chips, 5 ram chips of 64mb already laying around in my electronic components bin though i ordered another 5 to make it even, thank you for motivation, i planned to order rom chips in next year and do this don’t know when, and decided to do this thanks to your response, I’ll save you and dm you when i do this, since parcel going to move for a month and I’ll do my first ports beside university, job and apartment renovation, it’s probably going to be finished around autumn, or summer if I’m lucky

The best place would be the wiki (https://openwrt.org/wiki/wikirules), but even a blog post somewhere would be helpful.
And remember to post about it on lemmy, because I think a lot of people (like me>.<) would love such a guide.
