Good value for money, I recommend it.

However, the user interface is somewhat unclear; in order to establish the names of both networks, you will need to do some extensive googling. As a result, the 5G network was the only one that was configured.
While I was looking for whether there is a firmware for OpenWRT, as it turned out, I made a mistake with the name (there is a firmware for the first AC model), but after finding that OpenVPN is supported on the side of the router itself, I chose to go with it.
Even when accessed through the terminal, the router does not actually have OpenVPN in its native form. There are video walkthroughs available on how to accomplish this task all over the internet. After putting in some effort, it was discovered that not all OpenVPN settings are supported, and it was also discovered that there is no firmware available for OpenWRT. Despite my general dissatisfaction, it appears that the device is functioning correctly.

Pros

A very complicated thing, with a great deal of different options to choose from.

Cons

The user interface has a number of flaws, such as how to alter both wifi network names, and the placements of the options are not very intuitive. In point of fact, configuring everything using the command line is the most straightforward method. It was discovered that just the most important OpenVPN parameters are supported and that support is only partial. Unfortuitously, a list containing these restrictions is included among the components of a VPN that actually works. It does not have an OpenWRT firmware available for it. My time was wasted on this fancy router's settings, and it turned out to be nothing more than an ordinary WiFi distributor =(
