Does OpenWrt support Netgear R6200v2 AC1200

Hi, does OpenWrt support Netgear R6200v2 AC1200?

The official list does not have Netgear R6200v2 AC1200. But Openwrt supports R6260 and R6220.
So, I am wondering whether R6200v2 is supported.

Thanks

The R6200v2 is not supported.

Just try version for 6260 or 6350.
Should work.

@Rikki77 Thanks a lot! Have you tried yourself?
Also, if it fails to install OpenWrt, what is the consequence?
Will my router become useless?

Flashing firmware not targeted to your device is never a good idea.

There is a risk of bricking it permanently.

This is just very bad advice.

R6200v2 = BCM47081A0
R6260 = MT7621
R6350 = MT7621

Yes, sorry. I mixed something up.
What about the generic bcm47xx package?

I feel it is better if someone who really flashed the R6200v2 can answer this question.
