I need a (wireless) router, any advice? I'm still using an old WRT54G with a very outdated OpenWrt that's no longer maintained. The installed version of OpenSSH needs a legacy phased out key exchange algorithm to connect.

Linux OpenWrt 2.6.32.27 #5 Wed Dec 21 05:56:26 CET 2011 mips GNU/LinuxThe wireless doesn't even work due to the proprietary Broadcom chipset. I still use it when I need to print a document because that's the simplest way to communicate with my antique Laserjet. I've been out of the loop for a while and I hear LibreCMC is the new sensible choice for router firmwares. Here's the list of compatible hardware: https://gogs.librecmc.org/libreCMC/libreCMC/src/LTS/docs/Supported_Hardware.md
They are almost all out of stock and brands like TP-Link are known to update their products without changing the name (but replacing the wireless chipset with a useless closed one) so it's very hard to find the right version. Netgear WNDR3800 can be had for a reasonnable price but is there a catch? Does it ship with the mainline version of uboot for example? I know it might not be the best place to ask but just in case anyone knows. Is buying a router even worth considering or small computer board would be a better choice?
