    Shortage Likely

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenWrt

    OpenWrt (from open wireless router) is an open-source project for embedded operating systems based on Linux, primarily used on embedded devices to route network traffic.

    OpenWrt can run on various types of devices, including CPE routers, residential gateways, smartphones, pocket computers (e.g., Ben NanoNote). It is also possible to run OpenWrt on personal computers and laptops.

    OpenWrt also recommends choosing a device with a minimum of 16 MB of flash and 128 MB of RAM, preferably higher amounts.[77]

    If you can install OpenWrt, you can probably get ahold of hardware that can run OpenWrt.

    OpenWrt provides regular bug fixes and security updates even for devices that are no longer supported by their manufacturers.

    You’ll probably also have a longer device lifetime.
