These used ones may be the slower v2s that were returned, but with OP's being a v3, could just be a luck of the draw thing.
Doesn't appear to have mesh support if that's what some people are looking for.

truly open platforms like OpenWRT only support the 2.4GHz band on Broadcom, and only on B/G, and very buggy. there is no 5GHz, no 6GHz, no N, no AC, no AX, etc. and they are about to drop this outdated support completely.
TL;DR: don't buy anything Broadcom. many Qualcom Atheros and Mediatek SoCs are ok though. look into OpenWRT hardware support and buy only routers with good support on that project.
this family of routers in particular did not support virtual interfaces or virtual access points in DD-WRT for the last 5 years, until last week when i submitted a fix and now it works. they also do not support WDS, wireless distribution service (many routers repeating a net). it also seems wireless bridging is broken, so client bridge and repeater bridge modes do not work.
really, do yourself a favor, shell out a bit more and avoid Broadcom. you want something with >=64MB flash, >=256MB ram, and USB.
