The ZBT WE1626 was supported by OpenWrt from 15.05 on the ramips/mt7620 target, but its last supported release has reached end of life. Its WiFi 4 (N) wireless on the mt76 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.

Installing OpenWrt on the WE1626
Installation on this device is rated moderate. Expect to use a recovery mode, TFTP or a vendor tool rather than a plain web upload.
Appears to use the WR8305RT image.
Flashing third-party firmware can brick a router and usually voids the warranty. Always check that the firmware image matches your exact hardware version.
