Me too. On a Netgear r7800 (which is well supported for Openwrt). After much testing, tweaking/changing settings/etc I couldn't get OpenWRT to match the performance of latest stock OEM firmware. Even wired performance was about 3/4 of stock OEM for my 500MB internet speed. I couldn't use any of the cool anti-bufferbloat QOS options in OpenWRT because that made wired performance even worse (despite getting A+ on bufferbloat tests, the bandwidth loss wasn't worth it). WiFI 5G was spotty and less distance in my house plus would randomly just stop for 30 seconds every few hours. I really wanted an open source firmware running on my consumer grade router and truly appreciate all the developers hard work that goes into OpenWRT - but nothing has changed unfortunately from my similar experience a few years ago with a supported Asus Router I had and tried OpenWRT on. The consumer-grade router market is a mess and the choices are only between cheap mass market brand names and crappy firmware that is lucky to even be upgraded at all after a year or two. It must be a very unprofitable market because despite many millions of units sold each year and attempts like Ubiquity, etc none have taken off and/or put out anything better than other cheap unreliable stuff as the other brand names. I would LOVE a ROBUST reliable and supported consumer grade router/wifi brand that isn't calling their higher-end products "gaming". Like what we had when Cisco owned Linksys and we got their WRT line, or Netgear had a "pro" line that was metal cased. They supported their firmware for years and shared open-hardware specs to we could have better 3rd party firmware's as well. I still have a metal-cased Netgear GB switch in use at a client for probably 10 years now!
