Flash Home Hub 5 with OpenWRT

Hi,
Firstly, hello - and - how do you go to the 'boards' section of this forum, all I can see is the 'Community Button' which opens a page with a list of 'Topics', but no list of 'Boards'.

I wish to use a BT Home Hub 5 as a Firewall on a subnet, to do this I need to reconfigure the Red WAN port from PPPoE to TCP, I understand Open WRT can do this.

Has anyone flashed this Hub successfully with Open WRT.

Thanks

Flashing a hub5 is not for the faint hearted , it involves a soldering iron or chopsticks!!

I had intended to give it a go but never got around to it.
