Should we be concerned, no Gl-inet Brume 2 firmware updates?

There have been no firmware updates on this router for a year.

Does this indicate a lapse in security/privacy focus by the company? It seems like most other products are constantly being updated.

Brume 2 (GL-MT2500/GL-MT2500A) Last firmware: 4.7.4 2025-03-28

Apparently they released a beta in September, and that’s the last thing they released for it so far.

I can’t imagine its a good thing that the current firmware is based on openwrt 21.02 which is 3 years old and multiple major versions behind.

I was just wondering about this because I got the router recently. Should i install openwrt stock?

You could give it a shot. OpenWrt Table of Hardware shows it has been supported since 24.10 but I do not see information about installing OpenWrt for it on the wiki so its possible you may run into issues.
