Does anybody have a recommendation for a router which is supported by OpenWrt and has a functioning VDSL2 modem? I know I could get a standalone VDSL2 terminator or use another proprietary VDSL2 router in bridge mode in front of the OpenWrt based one, but that just means that the abandoned / buggy / vulnerable firmware lives one box further in my network.



I would also be interested to connect my DSL cable directly to a device with OpenWRT on it that doesn't cost $500+. I currently have a separate device as my modem, DrayTek Vigor 166. In case someone is wondering who's still using VDSL in 2024, that would be most of Germany.


BT Home Hub 5a, although you do need to disassemble it to flash.
