Do they run openwrt?

[–] littlewonder@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I just put OpenWRT on a Google Wi-Fi puck. It's been great so far.

[–] dai@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I've got three of the old Google wifi pucks, all running openwrt. Bit of a mess around to find a working flash drive but no complaints now.

Only wifi 5 but all honesty that's all we need at home.

I have 2 of them running openwrt, one is my main router. WiFi radio doesnt work though because of broadcom.

[–] deranger@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago

Not the ones with Broadcom chips.

Every netgear router I own does.
