D-Link DIR-890L

D-Link DIR-890L.

This is a fairly well designed piece of hardware, very nice heatsinks are mounted on the PCB. However as noticed in several places the firmware for the device is ages old and vulnerable, and also not getting updated.

For main device support, see the OpenWrt support page for DIR890L A1. This device is supported by my upstreamed OpenWrt support starting with OpenWrt 24.10.0.

Beta OpenWrt Firmware

This is just my personal snapshots for the device, these were useful before OpenWrt 24.10.0, but nowadays I think you should just use the OpenWrt official builds so that you get package repositories etc.

Installing Beta Firmware

The image is preinstalled with the LuCI web UI.
