Buffalo WXR-1900DHP: OpenWrt Compatibility Report
The Buffalo WXR-1900DHP runs OpenWrt 24.10.4 on the bcm53xx/generic target, and has been supported since 15.05. Its WiFi 5 (AC) wireless on the b43 driver rates limited for open-source driver support (0.35/1.0), installation is rated moderate, and it is no longer sold new. Its wireless does not work correctly under OpenWrt, so it is listed here for reference rather than as a recommendation.

Installing OpenWrt on the WXR-1900DHP
Installation on this device is rated moderate. Expect to use a recovery mode, TFTP or a vendor tool rather than a plain web upload.
Flashing third-party firmware can brick a router and usually voids the warranty. Always check that the firmware image matches your exact hardware version.
