The LEDE project is founded as a spin-off of the OpenWrt project and shares many of the same goals. We are building an embedded Linux distribution that makes it easy for developers, system administrators or other Linux enthusiasts to build and customize software for embedded devices, especially wireless routers. The name LEDE stands for Linux Embedded Development Environment.
Networking hardware vendor TP-Link says it will prevent the loading of open source firmware on routers it sells in the United States in order to comply with new Federal Communications Commission requirements.
The FCC wants to require device makers to lock down the software and firmware on computers with radio devices (wifi, bluetooth, etc) and we need to stop them. #savewifi
The FCC has proposed rules (ET Docket No. 15-170) that will require device makers with WiFi and other Radio Frequency (RF) devices to cryptographically lock down the RF-controlling software on those devices so as to prevent users from installing the software of their choice. This means not only routers, but also many phones, tablets, laptops, and any number of new devices that are wifi capable would now be required to implement a low level DRM system that prevents users from re-flashing or modifying the operating system and/or firmware on those devices.
We have been fighting for years the unjust laws that serve to protect companies that use DRM to restrict users. This new regulation goes beyond protecting those who use DRM, this would be a law requiring device makers to implement low level DRM technology to restrict users from upgrading the operating system and/or firmware of many devices.
Fortunately, the FCC is accepting public comments on this issue. The deadline for comments is September 8th, so we need to act quickly.[1] Thanks to people from OpenWRT, ThinkPenguin, LibreCMC, and elsewhere, we already have some momentum building around this issue. But we need to come at this problem both singularly and together by growing a coalition that helps spread a more unified message to the FCC as well as encouraging supporters of those organizations and groups to submit comments to the FCC.

If validating on servers and laptops is a solved problem, doing so on mobile devices such as phones and tablets is still an open question. For these use cases, having a validating resolver running directly on a router is convenient. As it turns out, it’s a pretty simple two steps process to achieve this with OpenWrt.
There are plenty of low cost routers supporting OpenWRT, but GL.iNet 6416A has several advantages compared to devices like TP-Link WR703N. Both are based on Atheros AR9931, but GL.iNet router has more memory and storage (64MB RAM + 16MB Flash vs 32MB RAM + 4MB Flash), two Ethernet ports instead of just one, and 6 GPIOs, the serial pins, and power signals (5V, 3.3V and GND) are all easily accessible via though holes or headers. Gl.iNet 6416A can be purchased for about $25 on DealExtreme or Amazon US, and it used to be listed on eBay, but is now out of stock.

Réseau Libre est un regroupement informel de bénévoles qui vise à créer un réseau sans fil communautaire et de voisinage, indépendant et décentralisé. Le réseau se construit de façon organique et évolutive à mesure que de nouveaux membres s'y joignent. Chaque personne participant au réseau installe une antenne sur son toit, ou dans sa fenêtre (un noeud) et choisit les services qu'il désire partager avec la communauté, connexion internet ou non.
L'autre jour, j’ai décidé de repasser ma Freebox en mode bridge, et de la connecter sur un routeur sur lequel j’aurai complètement la main. Bien entendu, tant qu’à faire, je préfère un avoir un routeur sous Linux, avec accès root et tout
Pour les promoteurs de l'Open Source, un des routeurs les plus remarquables de Linksys est le WRT54G.
Linksys est une société fondée en 1988 commercialisant des routeurs avec et sans fil ainsi que des cartes réseaux classiques ou au format USB. Linksys a été une des premières sociétés à utiliser la norme wifi 802.11g et c'est actuellement la société leader sur ce marché aux É.-U..
La plupart des produits Linksys sont plutôt destinés aux particuliers ou aux petites entreprises. En 2003, Cisco Systems a racheté Linksys et a fait de cette société une filiale spécialisée dans les équipements réseaux et VoIP pour le SOHO.
There are numerous Linux distributions focused on small network routers; most of them are ultimately derived from the WRT54G source that was extracted from LinkSys some years ago.
OpenWrt is described as a Linux distribution for embedded devices.
