I have a TP-Link router and I want to try OpenWrt on it. Have other people tried this? How did it go? Is it difficult to revert if it doesn’t work? I’m nervous because it’s my main router.

    It’s brilliant but you do need to know what you’re doing.

    I feel like that’s only a little more true for OpenWRT than it is for stock proprietary firmware. You need a bit of competence to get it installed, but once you’re using it LuCI is more-or-less just as easy to use for normal, basic tasks. It can do other fancy stuff that stock firmwares can’t do at all, but that shouldn’t count against it since you don’t have to do those advanced things.
