Thanks! Installed FreshTomato and so far it’s working fine!

Well, I’d say 2 GB of RAM is actually quite plenty for a router since it doesn’t need to do anything that RAM intensive. Even a desktop computer running Linux with no GUI only uses around 100 MB of RAM.

Unfortunately in my case, I really need wifi and would much prefer using some sort of internal wifi rather than a wifi adapter.

Well, they say that development for these phones is mostly dead.

Also, I do think that getting a virus by simply downloading Android ROMs from some unknown source (or an open source project maintained only by 1 person) would be quite easy. Not to mention that xz-utils, an open-source project was recently backdoor-ed.

Good. I hope this poorly written piece of spyware dies out soon. Carefully read Microsoft’s Privacy Policy and I guarantee you it will scare you away and make you run to Linux and other open-source software. No seriously. The amount of spying they do is simply unacceptable. Same thing with macOS (yes, Apple does collect a ton of data about you!). You can get Apple’s Privacy Policy here.
