The iStoreOS Soft Router
iStoreOS aims to provide a router and NAS system that everyone can use. Whether it is a router or a NAS, you have a similar operating experience. iStoreOS is derived from OpenWRT. Compared with the original OpenWRT, iStoreOS has the following advantages:

5 features for iStoreOS:
-
- iStoreOS provides a software center: iStore, which solves the dependencies between plug-ins as much as possible, allowing everyone to install plug-ins freely, and supports plug-in backup and recovery.
-
- When the iStoreOS firmware is upgraded, the plug-ins installed by the user will be retained to avoid the need to install the plug-ins again after the upgrade.
-
- All hardware officially supported by iStoreOS can be upgraded online without manually downloading the firmware upgrade.
-
- iStoreOS has a sandbox mode. Enter the sandbox mode through a USB flash drive, and subsequent software installation and updates and system configuration are all performed in the sandbox. Whether the installation of plug-ins damages the system or the configuration error causes the system to fail, unplugging the USB flash drive will return to the state before entering the sandbox. If you are satisfied with the current state, you can also write back to the non-sandbox environment. The sandbox mode itself is also the simplest way to expand the system.
-
- iStoreOS itself is a streamlined version. All additional functions are triggered and rely on the software center to install additional plug-ins. iStoreOS is not bloated and all the used plug-ins are built into the firmware.
In the evolving landscape of home networking, standard off-the-shelf routers often fall short for tech enthusiasts seeking more control and functionality. Enter the soft router, a new breed of device offering unparalleled flexibility. A prominent contender in this space is the compact and affordable device powered by the Rockchip RK3528 processor and running the user-friendly iStoreOS.
At the heart of this device lies the Rockchip RK3528 SoC (System on a Chip). Featuring a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 CPU, it provides an excellent balance of performance and low power consumption. This efficiency is crucial for a device that runs 24/7. While not a high-performance computing chip, the RK3528 is more than capable of handling complex routing tasks, managing gigabit-speed internet connections, and running multiple network services simultaneously. These routers typically come equipped with dual Gigabit Ethernet ports (one WAN, one LAN) and USB ports for further expansion.
