AI-generated summary
The text discusses various OpenWrt derivative firmware options for users seeking stability and security without relying on commercial solutions. 1. **ImmoralWrt**: Developed by @天灵, it is based on the main OpenWrt line, supports Kmod kernel modules, and offers a wide range of applications and plugins. It allows for custom firmware builds and is compatible with most hardware. However, it can be complicated for beginners and may perform poorly on low-end devices. 2. **CatWrt**: A customized version of Lean's LEDE by @miaoermua, it allows users to audit the open-source code and create their own software sources. It provides a stable and fast environment for low-end devices but only supports popular models without a comprehensive support list. 3. **QWRT**: Based on Lean's LEDE, managed by @Lean and his team, it offers high performance and supports a wide range of hardware. It relies on ImmoralWrt's software source for plugin installation but requires a paid subscription for additional support and features, limiting the ability to install Kmod modules independently. Overall, these alternatives aim to provide reliable and customizable networking solutions for users who prefer open-source firmware.

Do you often feel that other versions of OpenWrt or iStore are unstable and insecure?
And you don't want to give up the software store? Even the speed might not be fully utilized?

The router is an important gateway to the internet. If you don't want to hand it over to commercial companies, try the open-source and free OpenWrt derivative versions, which guarantee functionality and stability as alternative firmware. The last one is closed-source but is highly recommended.

ImmoralWrt is currently mainly contributed by @天灵 and is modified based on the OpenWrt mainline to meet your various software needs, supporting the installation of Kmod kernel modules.

It has exclusive application plugins, supports a wide variety of devices and plugins, and the software is relatively new (firewall4). You can use the acceleration provided by the Peking University Open Source Mirror Site, supports the ImmortalWrt firmware selector to build custom firmware, and supports most hardware on the market, as well as self-compilation.

Disadvantages: Troubleshooting can be relatively cumbersome for beginners, and the 23 version based on the OpenWrt mainline can be sluggish on low-end models.

CatWrt#

CatWrt is a reissued version by @miaoermua, based on Lean's LEDE with simple custom modifications. Users can audit the open-source code of CatWrt and set up their own software sources, supporting the installation of Kmod kernel modules in the software source.

Under certain conditions, it provides a system environment that balances stability and performance, responding quickly on low-end models. It offers customized guidance for specific issues, along with blogs and video tutorials to explore usage.

Disadvantages: Only provides support for popular models and cannot provide support beyond the listed models.

QWRT#

QWRT is based on the closed-source Lean's LEDE, managed by @Lean and his team, who have years of experience with OpenWrt. It relies on the ImmoralWrt software source to install plugins, has exclusive application plugins, supports most hardware, and offers Qualcomm's closed-source QSDK and MTK SDK, providing the most performant firmware.

Disadvantages: Requires payment for support to achieve the performance brought by closed-source, and Kmod modules cannot be installed separately.
