https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/20382 - author andros-ua, newest, correct branch, author did great work
(1 - looks great(i used info about device from his pull request)
2 - MAC discovered "with the same behavioras vendor firmware."
3 - can install from stock as update
4 - have repo with builded images - github.com/andros-ua/owrt-misc/tree/main/cf-wr632ax/stable/v24.10.4
5 - have build for extended overlay section(achieved with uboot mod,I described it a little below) - available space for packages is 85 megabytes vs 45 megabytes in stock overlay partition
(i recommend 3 pull request,from andros-ua)
for everyone interested in the device, I got it and tried the patch from andros-ua, it works great.
however, the hardware does have a big flaw: it won’t work on any real USB-C charger because they forgot the friggin resistors for CC1 and CC2, so you will have to power it with a dumb charger or a USB-A to USB-C cable, USB-C to USB-C wont work.
I've already asked the author about access to the source code and am awaiting a response. In any case, no one is forcing me to use it; I only indicated its existence. I use it, and it works perfectly.
Hi all, I also have this device which was provided from Comfast for testing, I feedback to Comfast there was a bug that any type-C charger doesn't work on this router, Confast says they will revise and deliver new edition. I think this fault is big enough to kill this product and nobody want to bring additional A-C cable during travelling.
