I will say openwrt is great for running on home routers. It’s more specialized for that purpose, being made to fit on the small flashes of some of them.


Stratum, Cumulus, Vyos, openwrt, and pfsense are all the most router focused options I can think of. You also have options of just using Network Manager (NM) to do static routes, and network bonding, and using FRRouting for more advanced routing options.

Personally, on the lower level stuff like network bonding and such, I prefer the NM over trying to do the same things on openwrt so far. Just hard to beat Redhat Docs on a lot of things that are more “enterprise” like. I haven’t had any reason to mess with the others, though. My research had Vyos as the more powerful option compared to pfsense, and some feature of cumulus like supporting Multichassis Link Aggregation Groups (MLAG) are really cool, and something I’d like to play with more.
