Thought you would get a laugh, today I stopped at the Cornell Rd Goodwill and picked up an ASUS RT-ACRH17 for $12.99  That's an AC1700 router although by many accounts the AC1700 was an ASUS marketing lie.

Just finished upgrading it to OpenWRT 23.05.05 per instructions:

I also picked up a Netgear WNDR3700v2 for $7.99  I have a few of these in production use.  They work well enough as APs although you do have to turn off learning in the switch per  https://dev.archive.openwrt.org/ticket/13612.html
