ARM/MIPS are Tier 2 platforms for Rust: https://forge.rust-lang.org/platform-support.html

I don’t heard of anyone rewriting the Linux kernel and network drivers — which is 90% of what all this “router firmware” is, plus a (sometimes) slick web interface to manage it, along with uboot — in Rust yet so I’m gonna say no.

It’s almost like no one considers it worth the effort.
