If your goal is to run OpenWrt on a modern Wi-Fi 6 router, you may want to look at devices with or Qualcomm chipsets, which generally have better open-source driver support. Recommended Models: Consider the OpenWrt Table of Hardware for alternatives like the TP-Link Archer C7 Go to product viewer dialog for this item.
is currently by the official OpenWrt project. While the router's stock firmware is actually built on an OpenWrt base, several hardware hurdles make a community port highly unlikely in the near future. Compatibility Summary openwrt-archer-ax50
The router uses an Intel/Lantiq GRX350 SoC (System on Chip). OpenWrt lacks mainline support for this specific chipset, and the necessary drivers (specifically for the Wi-Fi 6 radio) often require proprietary "binary blobs" that Intel has not made open-source. Hardware Highlights: CPU: Intel Dual-Core. RAM: 256 MiB. Flash: 128 MiB. If your goal is to run OpenWrt on
