I have a TP-Link router and I want to try OpenWrt on it. Have other people tried this? How did it go? Is it difficult to revert if it doesn't work? I'm nervous because it's my main router.

To be clear, I'm only suggesting that Mango router if (a) OP is nervous about installing OpenWRT without a backup device and (b) he can't find some secondhand compatible device even cheaper.

Don't get me wrong, I also have a Mango router that I bought on a whim years ago on sale for maybe $10, and it's fine for what it is, but paying $30 for it today should only be a last resort. OP doesn't need anything beyond the (presumably compatible) TP-Link device he already has.
