GL.iNet GL-BE10000: OpenWrt Compatibility Report

The GL.iNet GL-BE10000 runs OpenWrt from snapshot builds only on the mediatek/filogic target, so there is no stable release for it yet. Its WiFi 7 (BE) wireless on the mt76 driver rates excellent for open-source driver support (0.95/1.0), installation is rated easy, and it is still sold new.
