| * **Performance and Stability:** OpenWrt firmware is made of standardized modules used in all supported devices. This means each module will likely receive more testing and bug fixing than stock firmware which can be tweaked for each product line and never touched again.

| * **Strong Community Support:** OpenWrt team members are regular participants on the [[https://forum.openwrt.org|OpenWrt Forum]], [[https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel|OpenWrt Developer]] and [[https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-adm|OpenWrt Admin]] mailing lists, and [[:contact#irc_channels|LEDE's IRC channels.]] You can interact directly with developers, volunteers managing the software modules and with other long-time OpenWrt users, drastically increasing the chances you will solve the issue at hand.

| * **Research:** Many teams use OpenWrt as a platform for their research into network performance. This means that the improvements of their successful experiments will be available in OpenWrt first, well before it gets incorporated into mainline, vendor firmware.
