I've been using a TP-Link Archer AXE75 since July 2023 and have to say it works pretty well. The WiFi is stable and I never need to touch it but I need a router that supports OpenWRT and unfortunately it does not.

Since I'm looking at a new router I might as well get a WiFi 7 one as future proofing. I need it to have at least one 2.5Gb ethernet ports with the rest being at least 1Gb ethernet. WiFi signal strength is important.

Can anyone recommend one to me at all? I'd like to keep it reasonably priced if possible.
 
If you care enough to run a decent router with custom firmware, it's only reasonable to expect you to segregate switching and wireless functions. Unifi feels like the obvious choice here, Omada perhaps, then again Deco tends to be inexpensive if you can live within it's limitations/simplicity.

My main goal is to run an OpenVPN client on the router but also having a decent firewall solution would be good.
 
Asus BT8 has snapshot support.

The Flint 3 won't have OpenWRT support in the sense you think because it's Qualcomm based. It'll be some hybrid fork.
