There is a fully open router distro called LibreCMC that only works on 10 year old routers because there was a point where the various FCC type organizations required manufacturers to lock down there firmware so people can't screw around with the radios in the devices. OpenWRT wouldn't work on anything if they didn't use the blobs.
