I just got Cudy WR3000S, quite cheap around 40€/pcs, you can install OpenWRT into them easily. I use them in AP mode with VLAN tagging.

What one Redditor said
“The WR3000S and WR3000E give you more storage, but due to the partitioning still isn't enough for Adguard Home. You only get a little over 40mb of space left. The S I think has slightly better antenna”

The hardware's OpenWRT support is very mature and flashing is really straight forward

The router is okay, it’s doable.
r/openwrtpositive1
can confirm that the fault shouldn't be in the wr3000s itself, which I put on OpenWRT a few months ago without incident.

Out of all of these, I would only recommend the Cudy WR3000S.
r/openwrtpositive2
Cudy WR3000s is the best among your choices.
r/openwrtneutral1
Range comparison between hx21 and wr3000s pls. Literally confused between them. Main purpose zerotier and indoor range.
r/openwrtneutral1
Cudy WR3000S runs on a dual-core MediaTek MT7981BA processor at 1.3 GHz.

I am in favor of buying WR3000S since 35EUR price in Germany is quite tempting.
r/openwrtneutral1
The wr3000s and wr3000e are pretty much the same, just different looking cases and slightly different looking antennas.
