OpenWrt Hardware List
This page tries to document various companies involved in distributing hardware that can be used with OpenWrt.
There is a difference between advertising Open Source support, OpenWrt support and continuous involvement in OpenWrt development processes.
A database of supported hardware is available in this wiki: Table of Hardware
Another detailed database with detailed Chip, FCC and Vendor (ODM, brand) annotation is maintained at Wikidevi project.

"Business" development hardware
Some companies produce hardware that targets businesses (specification, price).
Some companies only sell development boards to end users. Other vendors provide hardware to complete the system, while OpenWrt provides Software. Some ship “incomplete” or old OpenWrt versions.
| Vendor | Brand | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| HP | Aruba | takeover |
| Cisco | Linksys | sold to Belkin |
| Cisco | Meraki | |
| Juniper | ||
| Gateworks | ||
| Ubiquiti | ||
| Raspberry Pi | ||
| Hardkernel | Odroid |
Branding and company overtake
Some ODMs have their own brands (Senao has EnGenius) or sell with different brands/brands from bought companies.
OEM and end-user brand relationship
An OEM/ODM vendor manufactures hardware for vendors selling to end-users.
| ODM | Vendor-Brand | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Alpha Networks | D-Link | wikidevi DIR-860L_A1 |
| Arcadyan | Buffalo | wikidevi WZR-D1800H |
| Cameo | D-Link | wikidevi DGL-5500 |
| CyberTAN | Linksys | wikidevi EA6500 |
| Delta Networks | Netgear | wikidevi R6000 |
| Foxconn | Netgear | wikidevi R6300 |
| Senao | ZyXEL | wikidevi NBG6616 |
| AVM/Arcadyan | Telekom Speedport | wikipedia Speedport |
SoC manufacturer and HW vendor
For a list of SoC see: SoC (System on a Chip)
Some brands use many different ODM/OEM companies and might change SoC between revisions: extreme example is D-Link DIR-615.
TP-Link seems to prefer QCA SoCs. Asus seems to prefer Broadcom SoCs.
Additional Information
Arris sells Cable modem/routers. Similar to DSL chipsets most cable (DOCSIS) chipsets are likely closed source, making OpenWrt support unlikely.
