I am looking for a router, and OpenWRT came up. I was looking at their table of hardware and the ASUS RT-AC3100 seemed like a good option, as its cheap used, (~$40 USD) and supported by the latest OpenWRT version.

Thing is, its EOL, per Asus. Does this mean that it won’t be supported on OpenWRT for much longer?

Is there a way to see or estimate when a router will no longer work on OpenWRT?

    “No longer work” is an odd thing.

    When you’re talking about open source, something is “supported” as long as someone wants to work on it. I’m pretty sure to an extent there’s still “support” for the original wrt54g.
