Zyxel dual band router NBG5715

Not me. I don't go for MIMO and speed. I want reliability and features.

Some reviews:

Page 2 has some nasty comments about the quality.

VPN only between routers and requiring static IP? Yech.

Well, they did give a bit of a clue with the naming - NBG...

Yep:

No source code in the "opensource" directory:

Looks like Zyxel has donated a unit for porting:

but the NBG5715 isn't on the OpenWRT supported devices list quite yet.

Hi, It has Luci and heavily patched OpenWrt for sure when f/w source list as well as memory dump suggests. Definitely this is a router with the case of WIP. I ordered one to play with it.
