Using an alternative firmware on your wireless devices allows you to push the limits of wireless device by changing its features.
OpenWRT is a Linux-based alternative router firmware for embedded devices that allows you to customize your wireless device thanks to its fully writable filesystem with package management. With OpenWRT, you won’t be locked by the web interface or the web applications of the vendor.
Tanaza is another vendor-alternative firmware, based on OpenWRT that supports a wide range of access points, such as TP-Link, Ubiquiti, MikroTik, Open-Mesh, Linksys, NetGear, D-Link, EnGenius and Alfa Network. Tanaza replaces the firmware and the original function of a wireless device with a complete set of features that allows you to manage your access points through the cloud. For example, Tanaza features a captive portal with social login authentication (Facebook, Instagram, Google+, Twitter etc.). You can check the real time status of your network through a dashboard available over the internet. Tanaza also allows you to integrate the software with any third party application, through APIs or native integrations (like the Mailchimp connector).
Easy to install and to use, Tanaza may be the best option for you, if you are looking for an easy-to-use alternative firmware for your wireless device.
