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 → - Band steering
What is Band steering?
Depends on your setup16 of 79 listed here
Nudges a device onto the faster band when it would otherwise settle on the slow one and stay there.
Look at instead: whether the router lets you split the bands into separate networks — some devices need that
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
