Yes, you probably want Lede, not OpenWRT or dd-wrt. I used lede to flash some old routers last year, and on the whole the experience was similar to my last interaction with OpenWRT only better (more evolved).

Might be interesting for some of you, Hauke from LEDE posted a few insides over at LWN: https://lwn.net/Articles/735316/ https://lwn.net/Articles/735317/

tl;dr updated packages of dnsmasq are currently building and should be available soon

I would like to add that you can usually in place upgrade from OpenWRT to LEDE. Though making a config backup and a backup of the list of additional packages you installed is highly recommended. Beside of that just flash and reinstall all additional packages.
Upgrading to LEDE worked flawlessly. Thanks guys!
