Archer C5 v2 (BCM53xx)

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hi,

According to:
https://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/hwdata/tp-link/tp-link_archer_c5_ac1200_v2.0

Archer C5 v2 is using the Broadcom Chipset 53xx, I've seen in the LEDE ftp site

http://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/lede/snapshots/targets/bcm53xx/generic/

Is there any hope for Archer C5 v2 users to be working (sooner or later) with LEDE?

Thanks a lot,

Hi rmilecki,

Thanks a lot for your effort.

Despite of the wireless limitations, will be better than now (we have no LEDE firmware), maybe, step by step one day we'll get full hardware support. In my opinion, that's not a race it's a marathon.

Thanks,
