I don’t know if this is relevant, but it has to connect to the internet using the phone line
Edit: It’s connected with a coaxial cable

Official wiki page that lists AP with Wifi AX support
(Some devices that lists “Snapshot” might be supported by 23.05 currently in release candidate phase)
If I remember correctly you can plug in phone line to RJ45, this stackovwerflow question lists some caveats.
Not sure, what you mean by ‚phone line‘, but I like Mikrotik RB950 as pure Ethernet based router which works well with OpenWRT and has 1Gps Ports.
I assume some sort of DSL was meant by ‘phone line’. In which case one could always use an external DSL modem, then any supported router should work. Or one could choose one of the few supported devices with built-in DSL modem, but make sure the modem supports the DSL standard you require.
Speaking of which, I always had issues with WiFi stability on OpenWrt. Maybe I was just unlucky, but I had issues with both Qualcomm Atheros (ath9k and ath10k) and Mediatek based routers. I couldn’t find anything regarding stability of the WiFi in their hardware database. Is there a list of devices that are known to run reliably?

Also known as the Belkin RT3200, exact same guts, just different branding. And I second this recommendation, it is a trooper of a router and has great Openwrt compatibility.
I really like GL.iNET’s line of routers. They come with OpenWRT pre-installed, too!
Came here to say this. GL.iNET is amazing
Except gl.inet silently stop shipping updates for routers and rarely offer the latest version
i would go for the most used routers because they have the best support. look at the download statistics to get an idea of which ones are the most popular routers atm.
I just bought a used Archer C7 v2 because its popular and i could get it cheap in my area.and check out this link: https://openwrt.org/toh/recommended_routers
The dynalink WRX36 is the popular choice for openwrt router right now. For $80 on Amazon the performance cannot be beat. Support in the 23.05 release candidat builds.
