How does this compare to DD-WRT? I’m using that on my accesspoint and so far I have no problems.

Much wider hardware support with OpenWRT. If the hardware is accessible and supports Linux, there is an OpenWRT target for it. There’s even a x86 and a raspberry target.

If you’re happy with DD-WRT, no pressing need to change it. But if you want more features or specific packages, OpenWRT is the thing to look at.

openwrt is the more serious/upstream friendly distribution that is maintained and updated like traditional linux distributions. DD-WRT may support some abandonware like broadcom wifi devices.

I've been using FreshTomato, which I got pre-installed from a seller on ebay, but IIRC DD-WRT has better support for some Broadcom chips because they allow binary blobs which have better hardware support.
