Hello,
you can find the distributors on Mikrotik's site: https://mikrotik.com/buy/europe
about the cheapest model it depends on what you need, like dual-band wifi or WiFi6.
look https://mikrotik.com/products/group/wir ... and-office
I would recommend to stay away of any non-arm, the best option is a arm64 based processor.

Cheapest options based on limited info:

AX Lite - ARM32, 2.4GHz only but make no mistake, AX-2.4 can go up to 400Mbps. 4 ether ports. You'd be surprised what this little thing can do.

AX2 or AX3 - ARM64, both dual band wifi and they have 5 ether ports. AX3 also has USB port for added storage or USB LTE modem or ...
Performance wise they are superior to AX Lite and best option if budget allows.
AX3 is a bit better then AX2 (processor can go a little bit higher due to thermal constraints on AX2) but for most it will come down to personal preference.

My suggestion is the AX2 or AX3 - ARM64 using the qcom drivers

AXE3, with or without wifi enabled ( aka as a router ) its the best bang for the buck.
Depending upon usage, pair it with capax.

In other words, you could have an AX3 as a central node and run many CAPAXs connected to it.
However your stated requirements are sub-optimal to get a decent response.

Hence my remark:

Almost forgot:

getic.com = Latvia
dectdirect.nl = Netherlands

I've used them both already. Quite good service and prices (but you need to compare a bit).

Too passive for me, state it clearly, and ask for better info up front. Dont be shy............ After all, he is asking before spending and thus deserves clarity............

Thanks everyone for your reply.
But all the ax routers are over 50 usd.
I don't want to make the router as VPN server. I want to use them as a end point to customer house. So I will be using as a wireguard VPN client.

I have a hap lite at home for test and found it has no wireguard interface.

So basically wireguard added on router os 7.
That's why looking for a basic router with WiFi at least 2.4ghz which comes with router os 7

My max budget like 45-60 USD per router
Thanks

hAP AX lite, previously mentioned, runs ROS7. I see it at the first site I checked in the US for $59 each. Bulk discounts are usually available.

I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. Added a Wi-Fi 6 USB adapter to my laptop and on 2.4GHz through my hAP ax2 I can get 180MBps. What witchcraft is this!
