Did you check recently? The way I understand the notes v2 is fully
supported while v1.x only the 2.4GHz Band is supported (though they do
write that they don't do hardware NAT which will affect you if you have a
WAN line > 300MBit/s).

So I'm half-heartedly on the lookout for something to run OpenWRT or VyOS

Let us know if you find something.... in a few month OpenWRT should be
releasing 16.x (Designated Driver, if they manage to stick to the roughly
yearly releases) which may bring improved support for your existing device
considering how they already have half decent support there is someone (and
probably more then one someone) working on it....

If you want something really powerful with a very powerful OS have a look
at this:
