I'm posting this mainly for anyone researching about the ASUS RT-750l.
I couldn't find much information on this Wifi router, but then I found out it's the same device as ASUS RT-AC1200 V2 and probably just rebranded for different regions.

Searching the PCB ID got me to wiki page about the RT-AC1200 V2
http://en.techinfodepot.shoutwiki.com/wiki/ASUS_RT-AC1200_v2
So i checked the cpu info and amount of RAM with SSH and both are the same.
After that I also checked the firmware image downloaded directly from ASUS website and both have the exact same hash.

I've been running OpenWRT image for the RT-AC1200 V2 on the RT-750l for a few months now and I don't have any issues. Hopefully this helps someone.

Then someone should make a mr for setting DEVICE_ALT0_VENDOR n DEVICE_ALT0_MODEL of ac1200 v2 to ac750i

Not this is some weird marketing.

Concurrent 300 Mbps(2.4GHz) and 433 Mbps (5GHz) throughput for high-speed wireless performance

Yet on the label you can see AC1200.

How did you install OpenWRT on it? I cannot enter Rescue mode in any way, even trying the ping method.
