I finally got this working. That was way harder than I think it should have been, but I am posting this from my new wifi AP.

Let's hope this thing beats TP-link stability, I'm sick of my wifi being crap.

I'm looking for a new (LAN) router, and am looking for ones that come with OpenWrt preinstalled, or are known-compatible.

I've used Tomato in the past, and it was a charm. Although, I didn't install it.

Now I'm second guessing the Cudy options I've been looking at. It seems like I played with OpenWrt in the past, and had issues.

Any tips you have are very welcome!

I think the GL-MT6000 is the current top recommendation for openwrt home routers. It comes with openwrt modified by the manufacturer with a cleaner simpler GUI but a couple of versions behind. You can also convert it to run on normal openwrt without the shiny interface to catch up on version numbers.

Honestly, if you are a normal person who wants a normal home router openwrt is probably fine. My problem is I'm trying to hacky clever things and their documentation isn't great and they don't do things quite the way someone who is used to enterprise routers expects.
