An ImmortalWrt (OpenWrt fork) variant targeting MediaTek MT798x family routers, providing a full embedded Linux firmware build system with additional device support and patches. It lets users compile custom router firmware images on a GNU/Linux build host.

Use cases

  • build custom firmware for MT7981/MT7986 routers
  • flash OpenWrt-style Linux onto MediaTek Wi-Fi 6 routers
  • turn a cheap MT798x router into a self-hosted gateway
  • add non-upstreamable patches and extra packages to router firmware
  • set up a router with Chinese-market optimizations
  • maintain a fork of OpenWrt for specific SoC boards

When to choose

  • you own a MediaTek MT798x router not supported by official OpenWrt
  • you want ImmortalWrt's extra packages and China-specific optimizations
  • you need to build and customize firmware images yourself

When to avoid

  • your router is supported by upstream OpenWrt and you want long-term upstream support
  • you need a stable, vendor-supported firmware for production networks
  • you cannot run a Linux build environment with ~25GB disk space
