Keenetic KAP-630 (Orbiter 6): OpenWrt Compatibility Report
The Keenetic KAP-630 (Orbiter 6) 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 moderate, and it is still sold new.
