Dynalink DL-WRX36
The Dynalink DL‑WRX36 is the router I used to prove the point: OpenWRT on a consumer router can be a killer home lab move. You get Wi‑Fi 6, a 2.5GbE port, and low power draw in a single box—just be aware the flashing process is a bit more involved than some TP-Link/Netgear models.

Pros
- +Supported by OpenWRT (with a documented guide)
- +Wi‑Fi 6 built in, no separate AP needed

- +Low power draw (around 8W in my testing)
Cons
- -More complicated flashing process than “upload firmware and reboot” routers
- -Limited onboard flash storage can restrict add-ons like AdGuard Home
- -May not hit full gigabit routing/Wi‑Fi speeds without tuning
