Couldn't agree more. Consumer grade routers are all buggy or have some proprietary features that just don't work with Openwrt.

I've been using ASUS based routers for the last ~10 years (with Openwrt) and a few months ago decided to upgrade to something else.

After researching what routers are out there, I ended up getting a Turris Omnia [~320 eur]. It's running a fork of Openwrt. Can probably run vanilla Openwrt without too many issues.

There's also Turris Mox - a modular design from the same people, but I ended up getting Turris Omnia, since they pack 2gb of RAM into that router and it has 3 miniPCIe slots on it.

Not sure how much it's still the case, but for a long time there were a bunch that worked just fine with OpenWRT as long as it was the forked 3 generation old version that was the official firmware.
