I've gone this route before. Sooner or later, I need something else
and then adding/customizing it is often very arduous.... Still Alpine is
interesting. Building a minimize Gentoo or embedded Gentoo is not
difficult either. Musl will be in the final mix, regardless of which
direction I go. Thanks for providing additional information for me to 
ponder  before choosing  a new router.


Thanks,
