 However the winning choice for me is to install OpenWrt on it. Fortunately enough **OpenWrt v.19.07.6** was compiled for this device and it works quite well, supporting **dual band WiFi**.

-With older versions of OpenWrt (e.g. version 14.07 Barrier Breaker) we used **openvpn-polarssl**, which was a version of OpenVPN with SSL support provided by **libpolarssl**, a lightweigth SSL library. That version seems not longer available, so we opted for **openvpn-openssl** which depends on the full **libopenssl1.1**.
+With older versions of OpenWrt (e.g. version 14.07 Barrier Breaker) we used **openvpn-polarssl**, which was a version of OpenVPN with SSL support provided by **libpolarssl**, a lightweigth SSL library. That version seems not longer available, so we opted for **openvpn-openssl** which depends on the full **libopenssl1.1**. This has the advantage that we can install the **%%libustream-openssl*%%** and the **ca-bundle** packages and have e.g. the **wget** able to open **https** URLs.
 We preferred **etherwake** instaead of **wakeonlan** because the latter depends on **perl** which is a large package and the free space is not sufficient.
