One of the reasons why I specifically when with Asus: they've got pretty good long-term support. There's also third-party firmware that uses the open source nature of most/all of the code (e.g., Asuswrt-Merlin).

- bserge 5y agoOpenWRT does not work well with Broadcom devices in general. Some are supported (you can port it yourself actually) but most won't work. Fortunately, it does work with Atheros, Qualcomm, MediaTek/Ralink and I think some other chips.
- opan 5y agoI avoid Asus due to how often they use Broadcom chips and lack OpenWrt support.
