Possibly that the software must work with the hardware? Much the same reason I can't install Android from my Nexus tablet onto my laptop or Windows 8.1 from my laptop onto my Nexus tablet.

although it is just hardware and software can't damage hardware.
Perhaps you should try browsing various forums for DD-WRT, Tomato, Open-WRT and similar router software. There were quite a few people who managed to brick routers when installing some firmware versions and those were ones that were intended for that hardware. Also look for "JTAG".
