ImmortalWrt is an open-source fork of OpenWrt, a Linux-based operating system for embedded network devices like WiFi routers. It targets mainland China users with extra device support, more packages, optimized default profiles, and localization modifications not accepted upstream.
Use cases
- flash a home WiFi router with custom open-source firmware
- replace vendor stock firmware on a supported router
- build custom router firmware images for specific devices
- run a router OS optimized for mainland China networks
- turn a cheap embedded board into a full-featured router
- get firmware for devices not supported by upstream OpenWrt
When to choose
- you are a mainland China user wanting localized, performance-optimized router firmware
- your router hardware is unsupported by upstream OpenWrt but supported by ImmortalWrt
- you want extra packages or non-upstreamable tweaks beyond stock OpenWrt
- you need prebuilt firmware images across many SoC targets (mediatek, qualcommax, ramips, x86, etc.)
When to avoid
- you want strict upstream OpenWrt compatibility and only upstreamable changes
- you need a general-purpose desktop or server Linux distribution
- you cannot build on a case-sensitive GNU/Linux, BSD, or macOS host
- your device is not in the supported targets list
