COMFAST CF-E593AX router
Image: OpenWrt Table of Hardware, CC BY-SA 4.0

The COMFAST CF-E593AX runs OpenWrt from snapshot builds only on the mediatek/filogic target, so there is no stable release for it yet. Its WiFi 6 (AX) wireless on the mt76 driver rates excellent for open-source driver support (0.95/1.0), installation is rated easy, and we have no current US retail listing for it.

Drivers: Excellent (0.95) WiFi 6 (AX) Install: easy
