I’m looking to buy a router for home use, on which I plan to install OpenWRT. After some research, I have come across the TP-LINK Archer AX23, which checks all of the boxes I have:
[x] Comparatively low price
[x] Supports WPA3
[x] Supported by OpenWRT
[x] Has at least three LAN ports
However, before I and my dad go and buy one, it has to pass the final test: the forums.
Has anyone used this router before? What was your experience? Can I do better, or have I found the best router ever made? Please share your thoughts.
Because I just want a router. I don’t need a fully modular home networking setup, and I’ve also never done anything more advanced than YunoHost when it comes to networking.
Besides, the hardware controller alone would cost more than the router I found.
Fair point, but OpenWRT is also complex and requires you to understand some networking concepts. For the record the Omada controller can be self hosted on your own hardware.
