OpenWRT router (lemmy.world)

I am looking for a router, and OpenWRT came up. I was looking at their table of hardware and the ASUS RT-AC3100 seemed like a good option, as its cheap used, (~$40 USD) and supported by the latest OpenWRT version.

Thing is, its EOL, per Asus. Does this mean that it won't be supported on OpenWRT for much longer?

Is there a way to see or estimate when a router will no longer work on OpenWRT?

How is x86 openwrt? I've been on opnsense but my APs are openwrt and maybe I'm remembering wrong after a long time of not touching the management page but I could have sworn it used to detail what rate cables connect at and it doesn't seem to any more without unrememberable shell commands, and at some point my lan domains stopped working, among other minor annoyances I could also swear are new since my absence.

Pretty much the same as any other incarnation of openwrt, just without a lot of the compatibility headaches and weird installation processes that you typically have with other architectures. It's just install and forget pretty much.

As for the link speed, you can just cat /sys/class/net/eth*/speed as with any other linux system. Not sure how your configurations stopped working or broke, maybe your storage got corrupted or something? Hard to tell, but I doubt openwrt caused it on its own, it sounds new to me.
