Do they run openwrt?
I have 2 of them running openwrt, one is my main router. WiFi radio doesnt work though because of broadcom.
Not the ones with Broadcom chips.
Every netgear router I own does.
I just put OpenWRT on a Google Wi-Fi puck. It's been great so far.
I've got three of the old Google wifi pucks, all running openwrt. Bit of a mess around to find a working flash drive but no complaints now.
Only wifi 5 but all honesty that's all we need at home.
