Router recommendation that meets these criteria
The hardware might be a tad underpowered (but also might not) however the available features are impressive for an amazing price point imo. Very happy with the “Linksys E8450 (UBI)” if you can still get them (my 2 cents)

Decent sub-$100 openwrt-compatible router???
Belkin rt3200 or Linksys e9.... Can't recall the number but they are identical and awesome. Pick them up for $30-70 depending on eBay and Walmart.

router under $200
Currently using a Linksys E8450 without issues. Goes for around $100. Throughput is good, even when you enabling permanent VPN (proton vpn) with close to getting full ISP speed (-700Mb/s). Only downside is that there is not a ton of space available for additional modules, but it has enough for my ne

Online gaming with T-Mobile home internet is horrible..
The Belkin RT3200 is the same device as the Linksys e8450 but usually found for less (I paid $30 for mine), it's one of my preferred openwrt devices.

What do you think about the new Steam Frame?
More like 79.99 don't need a dedicated just keep all other devices off of 5ghz. I paid $79.99 Canadian for a ax 3200 WiFi 6 router and used it for 4 years. Looks like Walmart still carries them, and it's only 69.99 now Linksys ax 3200 e8450

Routers that are very well supported by OpenWrt?
I use belkin rt3200 which is also linksys e8450/ax3200/arena 6 and they’ve never let me down. I have three here at my house, another two at my bosses house, one for my mothers and am putting two more in a family friends house shortly. They handle up to about 20 devices at 2.4g and another 5 at 5g be

How to know how long a router will be supported by openwrt ?
The MR52 and the Linksys E8450 use the same amount of ram and flash and they both use ARM CPUs. The E8450 uses a MediaTek MT7622BV radio and the MR52 uses an older Qualcomm Atheros IPQ8068 radio. The E8450 supports a few more wifi standards, though the MR52 does have a nice metal bracket, lol. "How
