TPLink newer stuff wasn't supported and wasn't going to be DD-WRT for a while there so check first. They have a crypto blob for the radio binary, or the entire firmware system they the group would need to trust blind and not be able to adjust settings with, or violate the DMCA to reverse engineer.

Don't know if this is the same case still or not, but they did this for FCC compliance around the time 802.11ac was launching. That might have changed that though I'm not sure, I stopped considering them at that time.

Also a good company to look at would be Microtek, I have heard good things, but haven't looked into them directly.
