Comfast CF-WR633AX OpenWRT support?

Hi, I’ve just got one of these, but can’t find anything on the forum about support?

I got it here - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005773548332.html

Seems similar enough to some existing routers that support may be possible?

Spec - 1. MT7981A+MT7976DA+MT7531AE, three chips solution, stable performance.

2. Support 802.11ax(WiFi6), 802.11ac(WiFi5), b/g/n(WiFi4).

3. Support 2.4GHz&5.8GHz dual band, signal is more stable, efficient anti-interference; 3000Mbps high-speed transmission rate, better Internet experience.

4. Euipped with 1*10/100/1000M RJ45 Ethernet WAN port; 4*10/100/1000M RJ45 Ethernet LAN port, Full gigabit network port, wired transmission is smoother.

Can you get boot messges or telnet/ssh session without opening the case?

If you can't find information and a dedicated firmware image for your exact device (down to the hardware revision), then the device in question isn't supported. Based on your description, it may be supportable - but that still means $someone has to do the actual development to get it supported. If in doubt, this $someone will be either you, yourself - or (more likely) no one. Just that it's possible, doesn't mean anyone (else) will buy this device and do the necessary porting. (While I can't open your exact link (geoloc), ~140 EUR for an 128/256 AX1800 device doesn't sound particularly convincing, the flint2 is cheaper and better, as well as locally available, but maybe you see a different price in your region).

Read this as, "don't bet on potential future device support", unless you know what you're doing and are willing to do the necessary development yourself. Always restrict your search to known-supported devices that already work right now and for which all the little warts and kinks are documented already.

I’ve found this Git page, but I am not knowlegdebale enough to build an image from this info. According to the page, it is supported, but I can’t find a pre-built image…

Any pointers much appreciated. Cheers!

I’ll try telnet and ssh shortly…

Re the price, I bought this device a) because of the spec and b) I got it for £37 on a sale, and I would never have bought it for EUR140!

there's a whole bunch of them - https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pulls?q=WR633AX

according to the page it's closed, meaning not supported, but supportable.
PR needs to be in status "merged" for support.

add another 30€ and get a T-56 from wifilinks instead, if in EU, or the equiv from Hyperoptic off eBay if in the UK.

OK, lets first treat the device as if it was unknown, and try to draw commonalities from closed PR-s....

Is anyone willing to test OpenWrt firmware for this device?
Binaries are available at https://github.com/andros-ua/owrt-misc/tree/main/cf-wr633ax.
Please, let me know if the vendor firmware upgrade accepts the image.

@GXTX thanks for the great firmware testing! Please check out the new binaries—they should fix the WAN LED behavior.
