The original ones were intel Lantiq, but that platform is dead/unsupported as intel sold off their router hardware division (they still make client chips). Only other manufacturer to use it was TPLINK.
The second gen V2 is the typical BCM6750 + BCM43684 in 5G disabled down to 2x2 mode. (Only way its getting 160mhz support on a 2x2, well besides LantiQ) This platform is identical to routers like the AX58U/GS-AX3000 etc.
If you get a v2, I can't really fault it at $50 bucks. Yeah its only 2x2, but its 1/3 the cost of anything remotely decent on sale in terms of "good" AX hardware. It's not going to beat top end AC or AX routers with 4x4 Radios, but, again, its 50 bucks..
If you happen to get a v1, just return it.. my 2c.
Edit: RAX40 is the main platform and RAX35 is the Walmart specific model without a USB port to clarify. Both were updated to BCM hardware somewhere around Q4 2020/Q1 2021.

Also you might want to start swaying away from DD-WRT as their development is getting smaller and smaller each month. If you still want to use WiFi 5, DD-WRT is great. Once you get into WiFi 6, you're going to be very limited on options. Most DD-WRT WiFi 6 support is still very buggy and very beta.
