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.

Wi-Fi features
- Beamforming
What is Beamforming?
Table stakes37 of 79 listed here
Shapes the signal toward where a device actually is, rather than radiating evenly in every direction like a bare bulb.
Look at instead: where you physically put the router — placement beats every antenna trick on this list
Full entry → - DFS channels
What is DFS channels?
Depends on your setup18 of 79 listed here
Extra 5 GHz channels shared with weather and military radar, which the router must abandon the moment it hears one.
Look at instead: whether your neighbourhood is actually congested, and whether the router lets you turn DFS off
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
