What is OpenWRT?

OpenWRT is an open-source project for embedded operating systems based on Linux, primarily used on embedded devices to route network traffic. The main components are Linux, util-linux, musl, and BusyBox. All components have been optimized to be small enough to fit into the limited storage and memory available in home routers. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenWrt
