Cheap router 2.5GB (alien.top)

Hello,

Does anyone have recommendation for relatively cheap (could be used) and small (5-6 Ethernet ports since I'm limited with space) router that have at least 1x 2.5G LAN, 1x 10G LAN and 1x 10G WAN and support OpenWRT?

Wi-Fi is optional (would be disabled anyway)

Oh and I want to use 2.5G since I already have built-in 2.5G network in my PC, but if there is really nothing good that have 2.5G support, I could go with something with 2x 10G LAN and buy 10G network card to my PC

5-6 ports is not "small". "Small" is 2-4. Six-port 2.5G units do exist, but they are relatively expensive compared to the actual small (2-4 ports) units. You have to trawl eBay or bite the bullet on AliExpress...

5-6 is small for me (especially where there are routers with 24 ports or so)
