Xiaomi Mi WiFi is the best cheap with OpenWRT support https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Xiaomi-WIFI-Router-3-ROM-128...
Is this a joke? The WAN and LAN ports (all 2 of them) are 100 megabit.

It's there, 3G (g as gen, not 3G mobile)
The "3G" model is not the model you linked. The 3G model requires you to flash proprietary firmware and then associate the router with a Xiaomi account using mobile apps for God only knows what convoluted reason. I would not trust this router even with OpenWRT running given the amount of blobs it requires and the hoops Xiaomi makes you jump through in installing an aftermarket OS.
Well I use it with OpenWRT and it's perfect, no regrets especially for that price

have a look at ubiquiti routers: their edge router lite is capable of handling gbit, and can protect against buffer bloat at up to 100mbits/sec. the only doznside is that they are harder to manage than the average consumer router They cost about $100
will do, that and mikrotik. i think i can manage managing it fine, i've worked a small bit with mikrotik
Openwrt is so nice. Despite small teams and budgets, they power so many routers and are also good at research and new features. The sqm/fq_codel stuff alone makes it worth running openwrt. If you are not familiar with it, go to dslreports.com and run a speedtest. If you get a poor bufferbloat score, openwrt can help. A lot of vendors (even big enterprise ones) use openwrt builds for their products, but don't provide…
Case and point, Ubiquiti networks is once again flagrantly violating the GPL. Their AmpliFi product is basically just a reskin of OpenWRT but they won't provide the source to it.

Are there any routers supported by OpenWrt that can handle 1Gbps WAN to LAN? My current router only pulls 150Mbps and I want to keep OpenWrt due to the amount of custom network configuration that has been done.

wrt bufferbloat: my internet is too fast (150 mbps) for a cheap router to effectively manage the connection, meaning that unless i pay 250€ for a router, I will just slow down my Internet needlessly.

This is a provocative comment although it begs the question: Can you easily run OpenWRT on Orange PI 3 immediately after purchase? If not, I think that could be a factor in why someone might pay more. They might want to leverage the work of OpenWRT developers. I too recently picked up another pocket-sized SBC with Gigabit Ethernet. Compared to Orange Pi 3 it has two additional Ethernet ports, better antennas (no dong…
> I too recently picked up another pocket-sized SBC with Gigabit Ethernet. Compared to Orange Pi 3 it has two additional Ethernet ports, better antennas (no dongle needed), more TF card storage (128GB vs 64GB) and well-tested OpenWRT support. What is it that you purchased?
I have cheap router with 32 Mb RAM and 4 Mb flash (TP-Link TL-WR841N v8), and I'm not sure if I should update from 15.05.1, due to raising memory and flash requirements: https://openwrt.org/supported_devices/432_warning . There's build for my router, with 3,474K sysupgrade image, so it's probably compatible. 15.05.1 is very stable, but I'm not sure about vulnerabilities it has, such as recent wifi vulnerabilities.
