Dlink has a web recovery so you can’t really brick it unless you overwrite the boot loader, but if you do that you’re rekt, uart or not.

not the dap-x1860-ax1800 that has the same casing for AP and PSU.
But the wnr3500lv2, which has 5V at the electronics + a separate PSU.
Cudy WR3000 for about 50€. MTK Filogic 820, based on OpenWRT.
Support so new, device wiki page does not exist yet. Does it still need a serial cable, to flash OpenWRT?
Moving to OpenWRT is actually supported by Cudy, just a sysupgrade:
Cudy Software Download (cudytech.com)
Not sure if you can use a vanilla OpenWRT (snapshot or 25.03.0) sysupgrade image from stock. Just to be on the safe side, I did the following:
Upgrade to latest official firmware (1.16.2) → Cudy OpenWRT sysupgrade → 25.03.0-rc3 sysupgrade.
There's a thread in the forums: Support for Cudy WR3000 - For Developers - OpenWrt Forum
