quadcore 1.8GHz so it will sadly be broadcom
Qualcomm Wifi 6e pro 610 and pro 810 has also 1,8 Ghz quad core:

didn't saw this and this is very good news 
So something should pop up at Index of /snapshots/targets/ramips/mt7621/ (openwrt.org) soon?
Cheers.
Hi guys,
I recently purchased a Netgear WAX214 AX1800 Access Point and it have OpenWRT running inside. The interface is a bit branded but you can find a lot of references to OpenWRT and Luci in both URL's or the way that you save changes and apply later or the log (see below). It runs a IPQ6018 chipset. There is another version: WAX218 with more speed that I suspect that runs the same chipset, so WAX214 is capped at some point. Do you thing it would be possible to replace the Netgear interface with a clean OpenWRT?

Cheers.
I have the WAX214 too and its clearly and openwrt based system. But i don't think its the same hardware than the WAX218, i don't expect this WAX214 to have 4x4 antennas.
In the future it may be possible to use openwrt on the unit, but there's no support for the IPQ6XXX soc, and i wouldn't use it as probably the performance would be worst.

Yep, I’ve searched for IPQ6018 specs and it is a 2x2.
Anyway the amount of errors that log shows is crazy. Hope we will be able to install a clean version in a near future
Yep, they have to fix things and tune a bit the software. But im really really happy with this AP. Getting Gigabit speeds near the AP on wifi 6.
Replacing the interface would be purely cosmetic, if you're assuming the actual code underneath is OpenWrt. You're probably looking at an SDK based on an older OpenWrt version, with lots of binary blobs. It's not the OpenWrt parts that make it easily portable; it's all the proprietary stuff that makes it difficult to port.

According to Netgear's website it seems to look exactly like old RAX120
Just had a look and there's no GPL released yet by Netgear for the WAX214 so that doesn't help.
When they do, it will more than likely benefit the Xiaomi AX1800 as it's IPQ6018 based also.

So Linux 5 support mt7915? Then we need to wait until that support gets to OpenWRT?
Or how is the process?
mt7915e (keep in mind that mt7915e/ mt7921e are still very new and driver support for them is still in its early days) should be supported on OpenWrt/ master already, which uses more recent backports versions (and mt76 is updated even more frequently).
Does anyone know something about the used chipset for Honor Router 3?
In Germany you can buy it currently for about 35 €.

Probably they are the same.
At least to this source: https://www.justandroid.net/2020/05/19/honor-router-3-vs-huawei-wifi-ax3-the-same-dual-core-wi-fi-6-hardware/
Has Huawei developed there own wifi6 chipset or which SoC they are using for there devices?
CPU: HiSilicon Hi5651L @1.2GHz (Dual-core ARM)
WLAN: HiSilicon Hi1152 (2x 2T2R)
https://wikidevi.wi-cat.ru/Huawei
Chances for that to be supported, not very high.

Hi guys. What ax router I can buy now to be sure it will be fully supported in next OpenWRT stable versions?
I have some TP-Links (archer), Netgears, Honors, and Xiaomi Redmi AX5/AX6 in my local store.
As I understood, Netgears are based on broadcom, what's why it is not a great choice, am I right?
Also I need CPU as fast as possible to run some services on it.
