ASUS RT-AX82U unlock only AC mode

Hello, I have a ASUS RT-AX82U (https://wikidevi.wi-cat.ru/ASUS_RT-AX82U), and it has N/AC/AX mixed wireless mode, I would like to use only the AC wireless mode, so i figured out that maybe I could use that on Open Wrt firmware. However, the RT-AX82U is not listed on the https://openwrt.org/toh/start , so I started searching for an alternative. I found this topic https://github.com/klzgrad/naiveproxy/wiki/OpenWrt-Support , which says to use Asuswrt Merlin, I installed it on the RT-AX82U, but it didn´t gave me the AC only wireless mode, so, based on the tables, I´m trying to flash the OpenWrt 21.02 , but i´m having trouble finding which file to use. So far I got on these two links : https://openwrt.org/docs/techref/instructionset/arm_cortex-a7_neon-vfpv4
https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/21.02.3/targets/ipq40xx/generic/
but there´s too many files, and I´m quiet a noobie on these things, anyone can help ?

it's broadcom chip so you won't find open driver with AC support with it.

And you answered your own question, right there.

Not listed = not supported.

I understand that, but i´m trying what i can, this guy here https://github.com/klzgrad/naiveproxy/wiki/OpenWrt-Support apparently had tested on the RT-AX58U, which has the same processor that the RT-AX82U (BCM6750 ARM Cortex A7), and it worked, but i didnt understand what file i have to download to flash, on the sheet it has the column "Mapped to OpenWrt Target/Arch" and the correspondent to the BCM6750 ARM Cortex A7 is the "ipq40xx/arm_cortex-a7_neon-vfpv4". I tried searching "ipq40xx/arm_cortex-a7_neon-vfpv4" on the OpenWrt downloads but I only found this https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/21.02.3/packages/arm_cortex-a7_neon-vfpv4/ , and none of the files seems to be a flasheable firmware file.

AX58U isn't supported either, it's listed as supported by Merlin, as you said yourself.

As for the mapping, I guess you need to ask the creator of Naiveproxy.

Openwrt targets are in https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/21.02.3/targets/

On the beginning of the post he says "Tested on OpenWrt 21.02.", and what is a mapping ??

That's for the openwrt table, not the Merlin table.

Ask the writer about the mapping.
