You might be surprised at how affordable OpenWrt compatible gear can
be. Look at brands like GL.iNet - they sell units with OpenWrt
installed for as little as ~$20 (802.11n) / ~$40 (low-end 802.11ac).
The big problem with OpenWrt, as I was just reminded while searching
for easily accesible information about budget OpenWrt routers, is that
there's no reliable, comprehensive, up-to-date documentation on
currently available models and their OpenWrt compatibility, and so
trying to to find the best unit to purchase for ones needs / budget
can mean wading through forum threads often full of outdated
information (or just asking your own question on the forums).
FWIW, I've been using a TP-Link AC2600 with OpenWrt for years, and I've
been pretty satisfied with it.
