Xiaomi Mi WiFi is the best cheap with OpenWRT support

Is this a joke? The WAN and LAN ports (all 2 of them) are 100 megabit.


Oops wrong link, I have that and it has 1 gig ports

This does not appear to be officially supported. On top of that, it appears to require one to use Xiaomi mobile software and accounts to set up the router initially prior to any flashing.


It's there, 3G (g as gen, not 3G mobile)


The "3G" model is not the model you linked. The 3G model requires you to flash proprietary firmware and then associate the router with a Xiaomi account using mobile apps for God only knows what convoluted reason. I would not trust this router even with OpenWRT running given the amount of blobs it requires and the hoops Xiaomi makes you jump through in installing an aftermarket OS.


Oops yes wrong link, this is the good https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/9UbBYxq

Well I use it with OpenWRT and it's perfect, no regrets especially for that price
