Whatever you can flash with OpenWRT. Plenty of cheap 2-core 1300 MHz, 256 MiB RAM, 128 MiB NAND routers.

About this community and how I post the comics… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. Of course these days you can read your favorite comics online instead of a newspaper, but I love the nostalgia of reading the daily comics. Anyway, one of my favorite current comics is Cyanide and Happiness and I will be posting the daily release from their website (https://explosm.net/) and a an extra or two randoms.

Is there a guide for shopping routers that can be flashed with openwrt?
https://openwrt.org/supported_devices has several different views of their master list for different needs like "I need USB ports" or "I need a 5G modem", but it's still fairly techie.
Thats rough because it doesnt mention prices so it means I need to check each one individually to see if they are still being sold and how much they cost. Was hoping for a buyers guide of sorts or a list of recommended ones
I don't know what you are looking for specifically, but I got this one since it has 2 ports that do 2.5Gbps, it can do WiFi 6 and the specs are quite good for the price. It seems to be discontinued on their site but I saw it can be found on Alibaba.
It initially came with ImmortalWRT, the Chinese fork. OpenWRT mainline supports it now and can be used instead.
thanks for the suggestion, doesnt seem to be available to ship for me tho
If you’re not against using AI you could dump the list into the Amazon helper AI or even just directly ask duck.ai/ ChatGPT/claude and it’d be able to tell you (to some degree of accuracy) based on your requirements. Fuzzy search is something LLMs are good at.
Prepare such list. If it's that easy that you think others should do so you can do it, too.
When did I say it is easy, just asking if such list exists
Maybe there is, but the ones I found in English didn't always list brands I could get locally. The stats I listed above are fine for most usage, except 1 GBit Smart Queue Management Quality of Service stuff.
What I did was just set a money limit (500 DKK) on the router on a website I buy electronics from (Proshop.dk)and sort by popularity, then I went down the list by putting each router into the list of supported hardware via the link above.
A bit tedious, but I found a ASUS RT-AX52 and Xiaomi Router AX3000T after ~5 minutes. But of course, I'm in Denmark and where you are the brands might be different and better alternatives might be found, which is why doing it this way might be better as it depends on region.
Exactly my issue, Im not in the UE/US so it has been really rough searching for good affordable routers for openWRT
Get one whose manufacturer doesn’t sound Chinese or looks like a Stargate Replicator waiting to kill you in your sleep.
Or if its covered in l33t speak crap or is advertised as a "gaming" router
I really gotta stop fucking my routers
how did you get your dick infected with stuxnet anyway?
