I don’t know if this is relevant, but it has to connect to the internet using the phone line
Edit: It’s connected with a coaxial cable

I really like GL.iNET’s line of routers. They come with OpenWRT pre-installed, too!
Came here to say this. GL.iNET is amazing
Except gl.inet silently stop shipping updates for routers and rarely offer the latest version
i would go for the most used routers because they have the best support. look at the download statistics to get an idea of which ones are the most popular routers atm.
I just bought a used Archer C7 v2 because its popular and i could get it cheap in my area.and check out this link: https://openwrt.org/toh/recommended_routers

Also known as the Belkin RT3200, exact same guts, just different branding. And I second this recommendation, it is a trooper of a router and has great Openwrt compatibility.
The dynalink WRX36 is the popular choice for openwrt router right now. For $80 on Amazon the performance cannot be beat. Support in the 23.05 release candidat builds.
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.
