When you say five times cheaper, I gather you're talking about the
prices for used units, in which case it's not really an
apples-to-apples comparison. At least when I checked, the new units on
Amazon start at $190.
[But I run OpenWrt on a TP-Link AC-2600, which I purchased several years
ago (used / refurbished) on eBay for about $50-$55, and are currently
available there for as little as $73 (less if you take a unit missing
antennas, etc. ...)]
