Other than routers, OpenWrt can run on a variety of devices such as smartphones, residential gateways, and even 32 bit PCs! + +With this release, they have over 5800 commits since the older OpenWrt 19.07. + +Let us take a look at what is new with OpenWrt 21.02. + +### OpenWrt 21.02: What’s New? + +While there are several technical changes and improvements, let me highlight the key additions. + +#### WPA3 Support + +Although present in the 19.07 release, the latest security standard for Wi-Fi networks is now included by default in the images. + +WPA3 stands for Wi-Fi Protected Access 3 and is a major improvement in terms of security over the popular WPA2. Backward compatibility is also supported. + +#### TLS and HTTPS Support + +Just like WPA3, TLS and HTTPS support is also included by default. This comes with the trusted CA certificates from Mozilla as well. + +With this addition, _wget_ and _opkg_ should now support fetching resources over HTTPS out-of-the-box. Moreover, [LuCl][1] is available over HTTPS in addition to HTTP. + +#### Initial DSA Support + +As the release announcement states: + +“DSA stands for Distributed Switch Architecture and is the Linux standard to deal with configurable Ethernet switches” + +This has replaced the _swconfig_ system which was being used until now. This is a notable change to how VLANs and switch ports are managed. + +#### New Minimum Hardware Requirements + +With numerous new features and updates to OpenWrt, including the increase in the general size of the Linux kernel, the minimum requirements have been increased. + +Devices now require at least 8 MB of flash and 64 MB memory to run the default build ensuring proper stability. + +#### Package Updates + +The release also comes packed in with several package upgrades, some of them are: + + * Linux kernel 5.4.143 + * gcc 8.4.0 + * glibc 2.33 + * binutils 2.34 + * busybox 1.33.1 + + + +Along with the above-listed packages, there are many others that have also received upgrades. You can get the full technical details in the [official release announcement][2]. + +### Download OpenWrt 21.02 + +You can head to its official website to download the latest stable builds or opt for development snapshots for experiments. + +Instructions to build your own packages, and firmware should be available in their documentation. + +The _sysupgrade_ command can be used to upgrade your system from OpenWrt 19.07 to OpenWrt 21.02. Do note that you won’t be able to upgrade from 18.06. + +[OpenWrt 21.02][3] + +#### Big Tech Websites Get Millions in Revenue, It's FOSS Got You! + +If you like what we do here at It's FOSS, please consider making a donation to support our independent publication.
