I second the recommendation for TP-Link running OpenWRT (that’s the important part).
I’ve been using a few Archer C7s for going on a decade at this point. (So long that they went from “OpenWRT” to “LEDE” to back to “OpenWRT”, LOL!) They’ve been working fine that whole time, and the only thing that annoys me about them is that they’re a funny shape instead of being rack-mountable.

















I’m seconding the request for a writeup.
