So it might take a little more work than the average openwrt router install. However, “PC” is a pretty broad term and depending on your particular hardware you might need to install particular kernel module packages, or make decisions about where and how things are installed, network devices are mapped, filesystem types, etc. For example, currently doing SQM on a ~100mbit cable modem link requires more CPU than embedded routers can provide. This is particularly interesting if you require hardware features that PC’s can provide that embedded routers cannot ( CPU, RAM, more network devices, storage, etc). But it’s also possible to install on normal x86 PC hardware, and the openwrt project provides builds for both x86 32bit and 64bit hardware. Most openwrt installs are on small embedded routers and you are working with a build for that particular router type that already includes the right kernel modules, knows about the flash size and layout, etc.
