About This Project
OpenWrt is a highly extensible GNU/Linux distribution for embedded devices (typically wireless routers). Unlike many other distributions for these routers, OpenWrt is built from the ground up to be a full-featured, easily modifiable operating system for your router. In practice, this means that you can have all the features you need with none of the bloat, powered by a Linux kernel that's more recent than most other distributions.

Latest Release
The general method for picking the right image is to visit the Table of Hardware, then search for your device. Supported devices will have a Details Page that gives instructions for installing the most recent stable firmware for your device.
If there isn't a Details Page or a pre-built image for your device, follow the Building OpenWrt instructions to build a custom image.
Any bugs in the firmware should be reported via the ticket system. Before reporting a new bug please first search for similar bugs.
Stable releases
If you are a newcomer to OpenWrt, you should install the current stable release. The history page lists all stable releases so far, and the Details Page for your router (check the Table of Hardware) should tell you which image to download and how to install.
The current stable release is Chaos Calmer 15.05.1 released in March 2016.
