https://openwrt.org/ To Quote: The OpenWrt Community is proud to present the OpenWrt 18.06 stable version series. It is the first stable version after the OpenWrt/LEDE project merger and the successor to the previous stable LEDE 17.01 and OpenWrt 15.05 major releases. The OpenWrt 18.06 series focuses on modernizing many parts of the system, on backporting network offload support for eligible targets and on laying the groundwork for regular future release updates. === I personally had switched to LEDE a very early in 2017. It was fresh and they met their goal of regularly updating the router distro. I've done periodic updates from 17.01.1 to 17.01.4. 17.01.5 is out, but I'm going to jump to 18.06. OpenWRT / LEDE has been keeping my D-Link DIR-825 in service for almost a decade now. Originally my home router for a several years, and then an upgrade (replacing a WRT54G) at my boyfriends home (until earlier this year, when an Archer C7 went in). It now sits as my test router, and humming happily away with 18.06. I'll start rolling this out to my fleet of TP-Link Archer C7 routers soon. -- Scott Sullivan
Nice, thanks for pointing that out! I just did the upgrade on my Archer C7 v2 (there are apparently now up to v7, perhaps not all actually available), went quite painlessly. It shifts from a version 3 Linux kernel to 4.9.111, which is presumably wildly newer. I see differences in the web UI that aren't highly significant but suggestive that the UI was touched. It would be kind of nice to know the scope of change from v15 to v18; the detailed changelog is between the release and a v18 release candidate, so missing a LOT of changes!
