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.

Linksys is fine, keep in mind there is V1 and V2 that are supported by openwrt, and apparently v3 is not supported. V1 got a bit better cpu. Also, if you can stretch your budget and want wifi6, check totolink x5000r on Ali express, time to time they appear on sale.
