So I’ve seen the TP-Link and GL.inet travel routers, and it looks like some of the GLs are/were built to run wrt firmwares. Stock TP firmwares have been pretty full features in my experience. I really want USB-C power. The GL wireguard support looks useful too, but it looks like their newer stuff is proprietary? Another want, not need, is 5 GHz band.
Does anyone have a favorite model or another board that can be flashed?
I bought the GL-AR750S a while ago and kept it stock. It’s a customized version of OpenWrt with an “advanced mode” that lets you get into what I believe is just the regular wrt configuration portal.
I didn’t have anything that the router couldn’t do from VPN to repeating to spoofing Mac to get through cafe-style portals at hotels.

Looking at their website, it looks like their newer models still use wrt https://openwrt.org/toh/gl.inet/start.
