Hey there, I have this AP/Bridge lying around and would like to try to install OpenWRT.
I found these specs online:
I'm a bit confused, because seemingly this AP uses a Quantenna QT3840BC as a CPU, but in the Table of Hardware it's only ever listed as WLAN Hardware.
Is that just a mistake in the specs or could it really be the case.
If wikidevi is correct, this device will not be supported by OpenWrt. Neither 2.4 GHz nor 5 GHz WLAN have drivers (well, technically firmware, same difference) nor are likely to 'ever' see a required firmware release.
Quantenna was a bit special, their wifi firmware blob is based on a an extremely stripped down linux image (no, you don't want to go there) - so if this is a very limited (fixed-function) device, that might be enough without a more capable SOC underneath (it is a SOC on its own, ecen if it's rarely used as such).
tl;dr: Unless wikidevi is 165° wrong, this device will never be supported by OpenWrt - and the sensible choice would be to run away screaming.
