    I'm using a custom build on my Linksys 32X, see https://forum.openwrt.org/t/divested-wrt-no-nonsense-hardene...

    Very stable and fast. Alternative for understanding the build process is: https://github.com/ferboiar/wrt32x

    very cool. i dont know about the Flint but its odd to see the model "AX1800" listed without any notes here: https://github.com/gl-inet/openwrt

    They list[1] which device support an official OpenWRT, but the E750 you mention is in that list for version ">21.02" without any remark. So this list is not accurate?

    The firmware is a huge mess and it's especially unfortunate that there seems to be some undocumented custom drivers or something else I haven't been able to identify yet which is missing from upstream OpenWRT, making it unusable for certain of their devices.

    The gl.inet firwmare itself has a lot of missing updates and I am yet to successfully make custom builds of it (though in theory it should be possible through what's on their public Github repos, save for a handful of packages they provide as binary-only)

    I should have taken better notes on building a firmware but I think what eventually allowed me to replicate and make custom build was to just build as if a normal openwrt dist from https://github.com/gl-inet/openwrt with a fork of https://github.com/gl-inet/gli-pub. Ended up ditching their custom hacky wireguard/tor functionality and mostly treating it as an openwrt dist.

    The mwan3 stuff can be worth keeping and extending on using the uci module, though.
