I have a TP-Link router and I want to try OpenWrt on it. Have other people tried this? How did it go? Is it difficult to revert if it doesn't work? I'm nervous because it's my main router.

Great choice! The MT7621 is one of the few targets that support hardware NAT offloading. Consider it if you're buying an OpenWrt router for a high-bandwidth connection. You could also consider buying OpenWrt's reference router, the OpenWrt One, since some of the proceeds go toward supporting the project.
