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.

Wired gaming has been perfect on this device.
Dual core 1.2 ghz
256MB of DDR3
128MB of Flash memory
The only reason it isn't rated for AX11000 is because the teamed radios don't support 160mhz mode and will disable one of the teamed radios (down to 4x4) if you use 160mhz completely nullifying the benefits of the QCA 8x8 teamed design.
And those are made by DELTA for Netgear. The Broadcom stuff is foxconn.
Any issues you're having with the RAX40 v2 are firmware based. ASUS variations are pretty solid with the same HW setup. People like to blame broadcom, but Id rather shift blame to rushed firmware/SW.
