D-Link AC1750 best firmware options

Hardware Questions and Recommendations
1

Hello,

I'm trying to replace fabric firmware to use an openwrt one. I've tried to install it from the D-link web application but it doesnt allow me to do it.
somebody recommended to use Putty, but seems that for security reasons, D link locked port 22 to enter using SSH

As well would like to decrypt the bin file, in order to see what modifications could be done strating from the original firmware included.

Any recommendations?

Which specific device? Ac1750 is a speed rating (in marketing terms), but we need a model number to help you further.

No such thing. Although, it may be possible to browse the file, depending on on how it's built.

That model does not appear to be supported by OpenWrt.

Wouldn't KA2IR1750A1 be the better fitting ID?

could be, can't check, currently fccid.io is very shaky, mostly cloudflare errors ...
