+ Do _not_ select this, unless you know what you are doing.
+ The Opensource firmware is not suitable for embedded devices, yet.
+ It does not support QoS, which is bad for AccessPoints.
+ It does not support hardware crypto acceleration, which is a showstopper
+ for embedded devices with low CPU resources.

+ If unsure, select the "stable" firmware.
