I have a TP-Link router and I want to try OpenWrt on it. Have other people tried this? How did it go? Is it difficult to revert if it doesn't work? I'm nervous because it's my main router.

Been using it for about 16 years on TP Link, netgear, and now GLInet routers - its great.

The only one I ever reflashed back to stock was the netgear and that was mostly a temporary experiment.

I love having Tailscale running on it so I can access my LAN from anywhere and use it as an exit node.

Edit: I probably started with DDWRT on a Linksys... Forget if it was DD or Open WRT on the TP link.
