This is a wifi 6 router i was looking for buy a router i already have 2routers running openwrt.
But i need another one i was looking for dlink r15 but this was not supported but i think this one can be supported as most archer c series routers are supported and this one also looks like same.

from quick investigation:

The fastest way to find if a router is supported is to go to https://firmware-selector.openwrt.org and input the model name once you've found an interesting candidate. If it isn't there, don't buy it, full stop.
