help ImmortalWrt FAQ
How is ImmortalWrt different from standard OpenWrt?
ImmortalWrt is an open-source OpenWrt fork aimed especially at mainland China users. Its own project description highlights more packages, more supported devices, optimized profiles, and localization changes compared with upstream OpenWrt.
What is the default login for ImmortalWrt?
The project lists the default address as 192.168.1.1 or immortalwrt.lan, with username root and no password initially. As with OpenWrt, setting a root password after first login is one of the first setup steps.
Should I flash ImmortalWrt or upstream OpenWrt on a router?
Use upstream OpenWrt if you want the most conservative, globally documented baseline. ImmortalWrt can be attractive when its firmware selector supports your exact router and you want its extra packages or device support, but you should follow the device-specific install page before flashing.
Can ImmortalWrt be built on Windows?
The project recommends a Linux, BSD, or macOS build system and says Cygwin is unsupported because of filesystem limitations. Its build notes mention Debian 11 as preferred and at least 4 GB RAM plus 25 GB available disk space.
