I don’t know if this is relevant, but it has to connect to the internet using the phone line

    Speaking of which, I always had issues with WiFi stability on OpenWrt. Maybe I was just unlucky, but I had issues with both Qualcomm Atheros (ath9k and ath10k) and Mediatek based routers. I couldn’t find anything regarding stability of the WiFi in their hardware database. Is there a list of devices that are known to run reliably?

      Back when I dabbled with alt firmware on consumer routers, radio drivers were always a problem. Reliability, performance, or both always suffered. Maybe get a dedicated access point and use just the routing functions. It can move from router to router, firmware to firmware.
