OpenWRT supported wifi router under $40(considering used) - eviltoast

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.

    At that budget, you’re going to be hard pressed to find anything newer. That’s not a dealbreaker though. The important thing is that the device is still supported by OpenWRT and receiving updates. I have a TP-Link Archer A7 running OpenWRT set up at my parents’ house and it has been rock solid for several years now. They can be found < $40 refurbished and around $55 new on Amazon.
