I am looking for a router, and OpenWRT came up. I was looking at their table of hardware and the ASUS RT-AC3100 seemed like a good option, as its cheap used, (~$40 USD) and supported by the latest OpenWRT version.

Thing is, its EOL, per Asus. Does this mean that it won’t be supported on OpenWRT for much longer?

Is there a way to see or estimate when a router will no longer work on OpenWRT?

    Man it doesn’t even feel like that long ago that my mind was blown by 100mbps. Also blown over how I just made a bunch of cat5 (not e) patches for my brother’s brother printer and other non gigabit devices and he mixed it up with the 6a and connected the computer and it seemed to actually work at 2.5gbit. Still put the proper one in though as I can’t trust that and wpnt always be around to babysit it.
