GoKawiilHacker News user floats idea of selling routers pre-flashed with DD-WRT
An Ask HN post questions whether there's a viable small business in selling routers that ship with DD-WRT pre-installed, noting that similar open-source router products already exist, such as the GL.iNet Flint and OpenWrt One. The poster describes their own DIY setup of multiple DD-WRT-flashed routers and cites AI-estimated startup costs of roughly $125,000 to reach a prototype, including $30,000 for regulatory approval and $10,000-plus for engineering.
