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’m still using an Archer C7 running OpenWRT that I bought years and years ago, and I like it well enough that I also bought one for my parents and a couple more as backup (when I found them for ~$10 on clearance).

    If the AX23 is just an upgraded version that is otherwise similar (i.e. can also run OpenWRT)—and I have no reason to think it isn’t—then I would consider it a fine choice.
