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.

    I haven’t had an opportunity to try OpenWRT in recent times. But I remember there being a common issue with not supporting WPA3 and limited 5GHz support for 802.11ax.

    So confirm that the firmware you want to flash supports all the features you want.

    Edit: I’ve had good experiences with other archer routers so it’ll probably be fine.
