Just seen your comment and I can deffo comment as to the security aspect of it.
I bought a Xiaomi AX3600 with the knowledge that I could flash OpenWRT on it, but before doing so and using the stock firmware I came across this with
apt
having its hash mismatched when downloading "only over ethernet" which usually infers someone is doing something bad on your networkhttps://stackoverflow.com/questions/72022569/cannot-find-fixes-to-apt-error-hash-sum-mismatch
This guy said they replaced their whole router and should really ping them to ask.
Suffice to say that "bug" went away when I flashed OpenWRT and someone should probably look into more detail why, that was happening....
