They don't worth that money, as they have only 16 Mb of memory.Plenty for a test device ;)
I have a Hame A2 power brick/mini router combo.
It has only 8 MB flash and 32 MB RAM.
I installed R00ter on it (3g/4g LTE oriented OpenWRT fork) and it
works nicely, and there is space left on the flash.
It comes with a modified version of OpenWRT, but it is a good

with it.
I strongly recommend using 32 Mb devices for that purpose.If the router has an USB host port you can add an USB stick for
