OpenWrt
No support found. Checked against OpenWrt's own Table of Hardware, which carries no qualifying row for this model. That is a weaker statement than "this router cannot run OpenWrt" and a much stronger one than silence.
No ToH row, across all 44 GL.iNet rows. The sibling GL-MT3600BE (Beryl 7) is on ToH, which is a near miss on a different SKU rather than a match.

What is Multi-Link Operation (MLO)?
Worth comparing29 of 79 listed here
A Wi-Fi 7 device uses two bands at the same time over one connection, instead of picking one and living with it.
Look at instead: whether your phone and laptop are Wi-Fi 7 — nothing older can use this

What is OFDMA?
Table stakes50 of 79 listed here
Splits a channel into smaller slices so several devices are served in the same instant instead of taking turns.
Look at instead: streams per radio and channel width — those set the ceiling OFDMA divides up
Full entry → - 160 MHz channels
What is 160 MHz channels?
Table stakes47 of 79 listed here
A double-width channel that roughly doubles throughput when the airwaves are clear enough to sustain it.
Look at instead: whether the band has room for it — on 5 GHz that almost always means DFS
