− | ==== DD-WRT ====
| |
− | DD-WRT has become a common out-of-the-box option for many routers, but also exists in stand-alone implementations that can be used to flash routers that support it. It has a slightly convoluted history. From 2002, Linksys released a line of routers (WRT54G) with Linux. The company was eventually obliged to release the source code for those routers under the terms of the GPL. DD-WRT has become the basis for other firmware created by router manufacturers themselves and while DD-WRT is released under the terms of the GPL, commercial builds of such firmware may incorporate much non-GPL code.

− | ==== OpenWrt ====
| |
− | OpenWrt is more like a real Linux distribution. It comes with its own package manager. Setting up and running OpenWrt can be an involved process, because users can make most any changes they want from a broad range of components directly inside OpenWrt. Updates come frequently and its package manager makes it easy for users to take advantage of those updates.
