A while ago my own OpenWrt router simply stopped passing traffic, and everything in the web interface looked perfectly fine. It took me a whole afternoon to find the cause: four separate misconfigurations, each enough to stop traffic on its own, none of them visible on the page where I had set them up
This became the reason for creating REGENT — a server that lets an AI read the entire router at once, tell you what is actually broken, and fix it in plain language, without ever touching the command line yourself
What is it?
REGENT is an MCP server that hands an AI controlled root access to an OpenWrt router. You describe what the network should do in ordinary words, and it works out which uci and ubus commands that takes, in which order, and which service has to reload before the change means anything. It handles ordinary OpenWrt configuration across network, Wi-Fi, firewall, packages and services, and goes deepest on the routed client mode scenario, where the router joins an upstream Wi-Fi network and shares that connection onward with the VPN and ad-blocking the upstream cannot provide
How does it work?
