Hello Friends and Developers of OpenWRT,
I am looking for a wireless home router
which is ABC (Any But China) brand.
compatible with the latest OpenWRT
which can cope with my ISP 1Gbps speed modem
which is also cheap enough for poor people
Please recommend.
Let me check whether it is available here.

If you're not in EU, it isn't.
Guess you forgot to tell us where you were, geographically.

Probably tricky to buy a non CN device in CN, unless you import it, whatever that means...

I have found a ZyXEL NBG6616 in one of our shop!
but it is more expensive than Netgear. So I will choose NetGear instead.

I have found an ASUS RT-AX53U, cheap enough.

? WikiDevi and FCC reports confirm it, or maybe they've changed the supplier for the one you found?

Almost all consumer devices are assembled in China. If your concern is around firmware and the potential malware/spyware on those devices, that issue becomes moot if you are using OpenWrt.
On the other hand, if your avoidance of stuff made in China is related to other motivations (economic, social/political), it will be very hard to find hardware made elsewhere.

Kind of
OP > which is ABC (Any But China) brand.
There are a bunch of brands that are not Chinese (designed and engineered elsewhere), but most of the products are manufactured in China.

I think AX53U first the 1st requirement.

Or get some Buffalo from Japan Amazon and ship to HK? Some models also work with OpenWrt
