Why NetAxis Architecture Product Request Demo

A modern UI layer for OpenWrt — built on LuCI

We redesigned the OpenWrt user experience by replacing stock LuCI admin modules with a simplified, OEM-ready interface — while keeping the LuCI core intact.

Built for teams deploying OpenWrt at scale — from homelabs to ISPs. NetAxis delivers a consistent UI layer across devices without modifying the underlying system.

Live UI Demo

NetAxis is currently a production-focused OEM platform. Demo access and technical details are available on request.

The Real Problem

OEMs already know OpenWrt is powerful — that’s not the problem.

NetAxis exists to remove these problems.

How NetAxis Is Different

VS Stock LuCI

Stock LuCI

  • Built for power users
  • Too many options
  • Risky configuration
  • Generic look
  • High support cost

NetAxis

  • Built for OEM products
  • Only what users need
  • Safe guided flows
  • OEM-branded
  • Lower support cost

VS Custom UI Development

Custom UI

  • Months of work
  • High engineering cost
  • Hard to maintain
  • One-off per model

NetAxis

  • Ready out-of-box
  • Fixed product cost
  • OpenWrt-native
  • Reusable across models

Architecture: NetAxis vs Stock LuCI

NetAxis decouples the UI from LuCI internals — reducing risk, support issues, and long-term maintenance overhead.

Instead of modifying LuCI admin modules, NetAxis adds a dedicated UI layer on top of luci-base. This keeps the core system untouched while allowing OEM-specific workflows and simplified user experiences.

NetAxis Architecture (OEM-Optimized)

NetAxis UI Layer OEM-approved features only Guided configuration flows Branding & tier control
LuCI Core (luci-base) UI framework & dispatcher
OpenWrt System UCI, ubus, netifd, system services

NetAxis introduces a dedicated UI layer that replaces stock LuCI admin modules, while keeping luci-base and the OpenWrt system untouched.

Stock LuCI Customization (Common OEM Approach)

LuCI Admin Modules Advanced configuration pages Power-user options exposed
LuCI Core (luci-base) UI framework & dispatcher
OpenWrt System UCI, ubus, netifd, system services

OEM logic is mixed with LuCI admin modules, increasing complexity and long-term maintenance cost.
