I've been running an old Netgear R7800, as an all-in-one plastic OpenWrt router+switch+WiFi.
It's been so solid, that I haven't bothered to move to the Netgear RAX120v2 that I bought as an OpenWrt upgrade. (It tested fine with OpenWrt 24-rc, then I put it in storage for a more pressing occasion to upgrade.)
I also got a Netgear WAX220 WiFi AP, which I put OpenWrt 24-rc on, and tested with an OPNsense box (since OPNsense isn't good for WiFi). I decided I preferred OpenWrt for my simple needs for the router, but it's a nice enough OpenWRT WiFi AP that I expect to need it again someday, maybe to hang off a beefy OpenWrt PC-based router that's running IDS/IPS or something.
