Comment on OpenWRT router

Does this mean that it won’t be supported on OpenWRT for much longer?
No, they’re really good about supporting old routers for as long as possible. For many years the best router to use with OpenWRT was this one from 2002 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linksys_WRT54G_series

@rimu @Dust0741 Also, even if openwrt stops supporting it.. If you have a router or firewall or something in front of your access point, then running an old version of openwrt isn't really that much of a risk if we're talking about residential wifi w/out a lot of coverage.
And that's assuming you'd want to stick with a model that openwrt has dropped support for. If they do drop support in a few years, you could buy a newer (better supported) older model again for $40.
