There’s already OpenWrt for Pi. All you need is to add a switch or a USB ethernet adapter.

I mean as a direct product that average people can directly buy instead of TP-Link.

If anyone at the user level is concerned about backdoors, the OpenWrt One comes straight from AliExpress. 😂 With that said there’s probably magnitudes less risk of something nefarious going on with a low volume machine built by Banana Pi than TP-Link.
