I am looking for a router, and OpenWRT came up. I was looking at their table of hardware and the ASUS RT-AC3100 seemed like a good option, as its cheap used, (~$40 USD) and supported by the latest OpenWRT version.

Thing is, its EOL, per Asus. Does this mean that it won’t be supported on OpenWRT for much longer?

Is there a way to see or estimate when a router will no longer work on OpenWRT?

    Not to mention how apparently 2.5 and 5ghz bands suffer on the Flint 3 just to get Wifi 7.

    Hope no one’s buying them (though I imagine a lot of people see 3 > 2 and blindly trust it’s better in all cases).

    Flint 3 probably would’ve been better as a different product line. As it currently stands, It seems a bit misleading to attach it to the Flint 2 when so much is different at its core.
