[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenWrt OpenWrt] is an open source operating system specifically designed for Routers. It was originally released by Linksys as the firmware for the WRT54G series of routers that use software licenced under the GPL. The software has been modified from this point and is available for many [https://openwrt.org/toh/start brands of router], and is supplied as the firmware on others.
The current range of Technicolor routers (e.g. DGA0122) use a customised version of OpenWrt.
OpenWrt can be configured using the shell commands when accessing the router with ssh or a serial console. This uses the Unified Configuration Interface [https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/base-system/uci (UCI) commands]. You can also edit the configuration files directly, though there is no verification of settings made via this route, use with caution. There is also a web based configuration management system that can be run if you have sufficient memory and resources. The [https://openwrt.org/docs/techref/luci LuCI web configuration] system may need [https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/base-system/uci to be installed] onto the base system.
