This guidance is about travel routers: prioritize OpenWrt compatibility and VPN performance (WireGuard vs OpenVPN). OpenWrt support and WireGuard throughput determine real-world usability (flashability, package availability, and VPN tunnel speeds); be aware of captive-portal interaction and vendor cloud services when travelling.
Buyers who need VPN-on-the-go, OpenWrt flexibility, and captive-portal automation; avoid if you need built‑in battery replaceability or out-of-the-box high VPN throughput.
