Firmware
The Intellinet High‐Power Ceiling Mount Wireless 300N PoE Access Point model 525800 is based upon the
firmware OpenWRT Barrier Breaker 14.07, with LuCI utilized as the front end. These components are open
source.
About OpenWRT:
OpenWrt is a highly extensible GNU/Linux distribution for embedded devices (typically wireless routers).
Unlike many other distributions for these routers, OpenWrt is built from the ground up to be a full‐featured,
easily modifiable operating system for your router. In practice, this means that you can have all the features
you need with none of the bloat, powered by a Linux kernel that's more recent than most other distributions.
