What is OpenWRT?
It is a Linux operating system targeting embedded devices. Instead of trying to create a single, static firmware, it provides a fully writable filesystem with package management. This frees you from the application selection and configuration provided by the vendor and allows you to customize the device through the use of packages to suit any application.
OpenWRT is a tool in the Infrastructure as a Service category of a tech stack.
