-  * Devices with Broadcom WiFi chipsets have limited OpenWrt supportability (due to limited FLOSS driver availability for Broadcom chips) +
-  * A few devices do not support the standard factory/sysupgrade OpenWrt image type, instead requiring a more complex custom OpenWrt installation procedure. See the respective devicepage for installation instructions. +
-  * Some devices have a built-in firmware rescue function (making the device less likely to brick on flash failures), while others do not have this. See the respective devicepage for details. +
-  * When planning to buy a device that supports USB3.0, to connect USB3.0 storage devices and use 2.4 GHz WiFi at the same time, you may experience 2.4 WiFi problems (see [[docs:guide-user:network:wifi:usb3.0-wifi-issues|2.4 GHz WiFi issues with USB3.0]]). Ask the [[https://forum.openwrt.org/|OpenWrt forum]] for advice on this subject.+
