depends on what you buy, ath9k or ath10k. works well. those chips are mainly used for AP, so drivers are suitable. There is also more "AP Optimized" firmwares.

There is also more "AP Optimized" firmwares. used my own builds for many years but lately bought two netgears R7800 and flashed them with openwrt. the reason is that it's hard to find boards that can fit 2 oversized mini-pcie cards (one for 2.4 and one for 5) and cost of the build becomes too high. though on this compex shop they do have some "dedicated" boards, but they are somewhat underpowered if you want to throw a bunch of things on them. One big upside, it's very educational.
