The TP-link C7 was a good candidate a few years ago. OpenWRT support, cheap, AC1750. They did decide to lock out firmware replacement due to their (quite rational) interpretation of a new FCC interpretation of regulations. I hope that that has blown over. Dave Taht, Vint Cerf and a cast of thousands pointed out that made it harder for the FCC instead of easier, and they quietly changed their guidance. (I was Dave's editor on that one: see http://huchra.bufferbloat.net/~d/fcc_saner_software_practices.pdf)
Some vendors have continued to block updates, citing the original guidance, but that's just their justification for an attempt to force hardware replacement rather than software update.
