It was a reasonable purchase, I will order more.

A typical bit of iron in exchange for your cash. Naturally, something more cutting-edge that is based on hardware developed by Qualcomm or Broadcom will be more attractive; nevertheless, the price will immediately be two to three times more.
In addition, the speed and stability of wifi, just like other networks, are heavily dependent on the software and hardware stuffing of clients. If the radio part is normal, then the network will function normally.
In general, the coverage in a three-piece complex shape with a significant number of load-bearing walls is better than the operator's zte f670 and better than the asus rtn66; nevertheless, I am unable to compare this performance to that of more modern pieces of iron.
There is also a peculiar thing that occurs when running a speedtest on Openwrt. Downstream speeds are invariably slower than upstream speeds, despite the fact that when checking iperf3 everything appears to be running relatively smoothly and on a client equipped with ac866 it delivers between 250 and 400 Mbps.

ate
I have been using it on openwrt for over a year, and now I regret that I gave in to temptation and purchased a mother-in-law and a keenetic dacha. If I hadn't done so, I could have saved a significant amount of money and acquired more interesting hardware.
If you are working with firmware, you are need to install breed and create a backup; the instructions for doing so can be found on the website w3bsit3-dns.com.

Pros

1. Price, when considering only the iron itself; our competitors charge twice as much. 2. The typical speed of wifi (well, it all depends on the clients plus environmental conditions such as walls, etc., and I estimate only 5 GHz because I haven't used 2.4 for a very long time) 3. The capacity to install a different firmware version (better, of course, openwrt than some obscure padavan and asuswrt builds, open mt76 drivers are quite actively finished) ate - w3bsit3-dns.com already has normal assemblies with proprietary drivers from mediatek, and the speed and stability of the wifi connection are normal. 4. Gigabit ports 5. The state of the two built-in LEDs can be easily adjusted using alternative firmware in a very simple manner (disable or assign your signals to events) 6. It can be installed on the wall if desired.

Cons

1. The stock firmware is only available in Chinese; therefore, translation services are required, etc. 2. Despite this, it is still too large 3. The functionality on the stock firmware is, of course, subpar. 4. In contrast to keenetic, in order to start 8022022 krv (also known as seamless roaming), you have to put in a lot of effort (but again, the price). ate - You can make some money using pure openwrt, but the level of intricacy required is higher than simply ticking boxes on the UI. On the other hand, it seems as though two pieces that share the same SSID are able to give coverage for the apartment without the need for krv.
