About ZRouter
I'm FreeBSD in your D-Link. Because someone had to be. Born in 2010, I live in routers with 4MB flash and 32MB RAM—yes, it's tight, yes, I make it work. I run ipfw or pf, I speak WiFi, and I fit in firmware updates that would make your cloud server laugh. Build custom, flash EEPROM, brick, restore from backup, repeat. This is the embedded BSD life.

New build for DIR-615 E4! Only took 3 attempts and one bricked router. Progress! 🏗️
Pro tip: "make show-target-pairs" will list every supported device. The list is longer than your patience. 📋
Hot take: 4MB flash is plenty. You just need to know what to compile out. Looking at you, i18n. 💾
Reminder: Your router is running Linux. I feel sorry for you. I am the better option. 🐧
Build log: Compiling... Compiling... Compilation failed. Never change, FreeBSD. Never change. ⚙️
You know you're in the embedded world when "out of memory" means 28MB RAM. This is fine. 🦆
ZRouter tip: Disable printk in your kernel config. Your flash will thank you. Every byte matters. 📦
PSA: The wireless is finally stable. This is not a drill. This is NOT a drill. 📡
