I am working with a customer on a new project that needs outdoor long range wifi. Any hope we can get the Engenius Ensky outdoor radios (EnStationAC, EnStation5-AC or ENS500-AC.) supported in OpenWRT?
I can see that OpenWRT already supports the ENS620EXT, but it has 5dbi antennas which are unfortunately not enough for the project.
Anyone interested in getting the above devices supported? I can do some testing or log work.
Absolutely. Let's do the ENS500-AC, no worries about breaking it open. It does not look like it is a QCA though, some docs are mentioning a quad-core processor, do you know which cpu? ipq40xx may be?
the hardware differs by version, which is best determined by the FCC ID
like I said, IPQ is harder to work with right now, but still possible
however they might do a completely different upgrade method for IPQ boards
which would make it take longer to figure out maybe
So the new models will be QCA956x. That's 1 core, right?
I was hoping to get the IPQ (4 core) as we are having some cpu intensive applications running. There are plenty of QCA devices in openwrt but the IPQ would be good contender to Ubnt and MikroTik!
We're doing a lot of end-to-end network tunnelling, with no offloading to the NIC.
Anyway, I guess no point from working on IPQ/V1 since it is going EOL. Let me know if you'd like to work on v2, I think it is still a good option since it comes with 2 ethernet ports.
Still interested in working on the Engenius ENS 500 AC v2? I have several clones of this board as the TrendNet TEW840 - APBO that I am working with and not making much progress.
hello,
in the table of hardware the TEW840 is running the snapshot version,
maybe I'm wrong but in snapshot /ath79 i did found the package
Did I made smth wrong
thx
