This is why I check OpenWRT compatibility before I buy.

		... and don't take the vendor's word for it. I got burned on a GL-SFT1200 that way. It runs their version of OpenWRT. You can't install generic OpenWRT.

		Too many exploits is not a that big problem. Non of new fancy exploits with cvss 10.0 from 2026 have worked for this ap. If you don't use all the drivers you have small attack surface. I'd say that it's a surviviourship bias. Bsd has less traction => less bugs found
