I have a few different Linksys WRT54G routers and I’ve installed DD-WRT - build number 44715 - on them. However, this build appears to have been made in 2020. So, I was wondering if there’s a more modern version of dd-wrt for this router. If not, is it possible for me to compile the latest version of OpenWRT for these routers which have 4 MB of flash and 16 MB of RAM?
Well, I’d say 2 GB of RAM is actually quite plenty for a router since it doesn’t need to do anything that RAM intensive. Even a desktop computer running Linux with no GUI only uses around 100 MB of RAM.
It has support for running a VM, so absolutely will run something there! Probably Fedora IOT ARM
