The latest router in the series is Linksys WRT3200ACM: https://www.linksys.com/us/p/P-WRT3200ACM/ https://www.linksys.com/us/p/P-WRT3200ACM/
It has decent open source support and even WiFi drivers are open: https://github.com/kaloz/mwlwifi https://github.com/kaloz/mwlwifi
The WiFi firmware though is not, which became a problem when NXP bought Marvel that made the chips for WRT3200ACM. NXP is unresponsive and doesn't do anything to update the firmware.

- rkagerer 6y agoThis may be a dumb question but are there any open-source routers out there that can manage to do QoS on a gigabit+ WAN connection (without tanking latency)?
- shmerl 6y agoI didn't really play with QoS on it, but it has a dual core 1.8 GHz CPU, so may be it can handle it. In the worst case, you can just make your own custom router that runs Linux using x86_64 hardware. What's harder to find is a good MIMO WiFi cards for parallel connections. Qualcomm supposedly has some with open drivers (recent Atheros - ath10k, ath11k).
