I've been using Voxel for years for my Netgear R7800. In all fairness, it's still sort of supported by Netgear too.I think the last two or three times I've used third-party firmware, the developers stopped bothering with updates, even when the original manufacturer was still providing updates.
I wish we had better consumer protection laws here in the US, in order to motivate these companies to do the actual right thing, instead of "the right thing" for their shareholders.
Merlin is another option, but as both of these work with what's available from Netgear or Asus respectively, they have limitations to what they can offer.
That said, what I meant was options like OpenWRT or DD-WRT, which tends to support a lot of different hardware. I have OpenWRT installed on two TP-Link devices and although it's a bit of a pain to configure, the latest version is a lot better than it used to be and both products are working better with OpenWRT than they ever did with the TP-Link firmware.
There should be legal requirements for routers to receive updates for at least five years, maybe 10 years for critical vulnerabilities like this.
