TP-Link seconded: I just picked up a TP-Link AC-1750 (be sure to get
v2 -- v1 will not work with ath10k).  I'm planning to use it as a dev
platform for some wireless stuff.

So far everything is working fine with OpenWRT out of the box, and I
had no trouble compiling and installing my own OpenWRT build for it as
well.  Of course I say this with approximately 3 hours of uptime at
this point, so time will tell.
