"Does either model spy on me?"
"Yes."
"Which one?"
"Yes."
Depends on your firmware. You can install FreshTomato firmware on these things and enjoy a much better experience with many more features and higher stability.
The one on the right is ASUS, they make pretty good quality hardware and software and don't spy on you, at least for what concerns routers.
You are talking about the same Asus that uses proprietary Trend Micro spyware on all its routers? At least it can be disabled, but by default it is enabled and spies on you
Yes. I thus recommend to flash Asuswrt-merlin. It is based on the stock Asus firmware, plus some features and minus some inconveniences as the one you mention.
I assume if it can be flashed it can take OpenWRT too? I like the aesthetic, but IDK I think I'd rather not support them at all if they put spying software on their stock installs.
I have a ASUS RTAX53U running OpenWrt 23.05.
Here you can find a list of devices supported by the current version.
Why dont you give me your Routers source code if you have nothing to hide, Asus?
They are obligated to publish the routers' firmware source code under GPL-2 since it's primarily based on Tomato and OpenWRT firmware.
You can find the respective source code on the Support page of every router, tab Driver & Utility > Driver & Tools > OS: Others.
If the version you find there does not match the last published firmware, you can send them an e-mail.
