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.

    This is a great plan. TP Link makes good hardware for cheap but thier software is trash. I have not used this particular router before but I do have experience with their prior versions. I have moved on to PF Sense for my router personally as my budget has grown. I have friends using TP link routers with OpenWRT and they are happy with it.
