I had mine running for probably 10+ years but eventually started acting screwy a few years back. I went ahead and upgraded to a TP-Link and I’ve bee satisfied with it. I haven’t looked into if you can still get these custom firmwares for modern routers - but I’ve also been satisfied with the interface and the performance.

You can. ASUS actually based their official firmware off of one of them, and there is a custom mod of that too.

gl.inet bases all their firmwares on OpenWRT AFAIK

Yeah. I've had a couple of their little travel routers which are a lot of fun. But apparently you can't flash custom builds on one of their more recent models.
