The Abicom International Scorpion SC450 was supported by OpenWrt from 10.03 on the ar71xx/generic target, but its last supported release has reached end of life. Its WiFi 5 (AC) wireless on the ath10k driver rates fair for open-source driver support (0.50/1.0), installation is rated moderate, and we have no current US retail listing for it.
