Conclusion
All four devices have some level of support for OpenWrt or FriendlyWRT. f you require more processing power and wired connections, the NanoPi N5C might be a suitable choice. For portability and basic networking needs, the GL.iNET Shadow and Mango are options to consider. If you prefer an all-in-one solution with Wi-Fi, the TP-Link TL-WR802N is compact and budget-friendly but may have limitations in terms of performance.
