Best router for Openwrt in 2024?

[greghouse]

There have been so many new router releases, I was wondering which router is the best router in 2024 for stable Openwrt experience.
It has to be gigabit supported router

GL.iNet Flint 2 maybe.

 

[greghouse]

it should be available in India
and not cost a bomb lol

Well not much of a choice then I guess. Get a mini PC or a single board computer like Pi. Main issue would be storage and memory in case of routers available on the market.

@dhyaneshwar94 There are plenty of routers available.But in my pov you can look for nanopi r2s or if you have higher budget then r4s. It will be a overpowered router but price is comparatively higher

@Sanemi nanopi r2s looks good. but where can I buy it from?

 

[sloj]

robu.in seems sold out but has a restocking date.

@dhyaneshwar94 I think you can purchase it from fabtolab.com

 

[greghouse]

is fabtolab reliable?

@dhyaneshwar94 I think they are genuine because they are the only indian retailer/distributor of friendlyelec(manufacturer of Nanopi)
