Archer c7 v2- still boobytrapped?

Model: AC500  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

I see some people here have OpenWRT installed on the c7 V2- i'm a newbish user, afraid i might brick it- i spent a lot of time trying to find the best router- i should have spent more time- i didn't realized how they boobytrap their own hardware intentionally to make it easy for people to brick. I boxed it up and about to return it- really disappointed. I also saw some posts that suggested some versions are region-boobytrapped. Being newbish, it's kind of silly to have to fight the manufacturers handywork with everything else there is to pay attention to.
