Still no love for WPA3 on the Raspberry Pi 5
Looks like you're referring to https://github.com/kaloz/mwlwifi/issues/389

*** Love " Wall Networking". Upgrading to WRT32x next week.
This kind of sums it up https://github.com/kaloz/mwlwifi/issues/353

I upgraded my "Linksys WRT3200ACM" from OpenWrt 19 to 21 and I'm having the most dogshit Wi-Fi experience I ever had with an electronic device. What did I do wrong?
It's not openwrt fucking things up mate it.s the wifi drivers for your router they are shit and will never be fixt. Sorry. The drivers are called mwlwifi. YOu can read more about them here: https://github.com/kaloz/mwlwifi/commits/master

Newer TP-Link Routers send ALL your web traffic to 3rd party servers
The WRT1200AC family is not well supported. The Ethernet part should work fine, but the Wifi is unsupported since some years now, see here the repository: https://github.com/kaloz/mwlwifi The vendors are not interested in this hardware any more, but they have very good marketing and sales. Linksys and Marvell also did not really support the OpenWrt community, they just had good marketing. If your WRT1200AC device does not work well with OpenWrt do not complain to OpenWrt, but complain to the Linksys support.
The WRT1200AC family for example does not support WPA3, because the closed source Wifi firmware does not support it. The 15 years old WRT54G supports WPA3, it is just very slow. ;-)
Currently I would suggest the Linksys E8450 / Belkin RT3200 (same hardware) or some other device using the current Mediatek platform with MT7622 + MT7915 + MT7531. (2 X Cortex-A53, Wifi 6) All chips are supported in recent upstream Linux kernel, including Wifi. The Mediatek router team is currently doing pretty good upstream open source work for their chips.

WPA3 == Open AP?!
Well, not exactly known, but the "WRT3200ACM + WPA3" combination is known to be bad for other reasons. See https://github.com/kaloz/mwlwifi/issues/389

OpenWrt 21.02.0 Released
I'd like to express general caution with upgrading to 21.02 on Linksys WRT-series routers; the Marvell "open-source" firmware isn't truly open source (it has proprietary binary blobs) and development seems to have halted sometime in 2020.
Many users report Wi-Fi connectivity issues[0].

Router changes 5G channel ignoring settings (model: WRT1900AC V2 openwrt_version: 19.07.7)

Can I turn Linksys WRT3200ACM into a mesh router?
Nope. At one point Marvell promised to write firmware that supports 802.11s, but they backed out -- c.f. https://github.com/kaloz/mwlwifi/issues/127.

Wanted to buy a WRT1900ACS, looking for recommendations
Maybe they are not "bad" for what they are, but they are certainly full of bugs https://github.com/kaloz/mwlwifi/issues and most importantly development has been dead for years https://github.com/kaloz/mwlwifi/commits/master . So if you got one and it works as is (maybe depends on region or luck?) fine I guess, just don't ever expect new features or improvements to that. For someone buying new for OpenWRT I wouldn't recommend getting a dead-end device.

Going in circles without a real-time clock
In OpenWrt (Linux distro for routers that often don't have RTC) dnsmasq starts with `--dnssec-no-timecheck` until the ntp client gets a first sync (https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/commit/5acfe55d7139a52941...)

imminent release of openwrt 23.05
I'm worried that the issue I reported in -rc4 (default gateway route missing) hasn't been fixed. https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/issues/13598

Help choosing between two Wireless APs for concrete building
I'm comparing/contrasting two WAPs (NETGEAR WAX220 and NETGEAR WAX620) which has or is about to have OpenWrt support.

Suggestions for best DD-WRT router for use as a wired backhaul mesh setup
I suspect that's one of the reasons why people contribute a lot more to OpenWRT, because they can simply go into Github fork, PR and discuss things. https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pulls
