I've had good luck with ubiquiti's hardware. Some of it has lasted me ten plus years, and the built in firmware all has community driven support including wpa eap tls & friends. Their firmware is also based on openwrt, though I think they may have diverged enough to call it proprietary. They should still run openwrt. Good luck on your search!
