Hello guys.

I know $40 is very low price for a new openWRT supported decent router. So I searched in internet these two models TP-Link Archer C7 (v2) and Linksys EA7500. Support OpenWRT but both of them is nearly 10 years old(as I saw one is from 2014 and second 2016) So I am kind of hesitant if I should go for them. would you guys suggest me to buy one of these? If not which other model with openWRT support and decend wifi capabilities would you suggest me to go?

Thanks in advance.

You can look for a Xiaomi AX3200 EU or another Xiaomi router in that price range.

They usually offer great value for the price and work very well with OpenWrt.

The AX3200 has mt7622 and can even handle SQM at 300+ Mbps
