Firmware for Arcadyan eLife C1AA WRV9518BHAX34-ET

what are the details need to develop firmware for this router . i have physical router in my hand
and the spec is https://device.report/wifi/WFA111574

doesn't say anything about the hw inside.

i can disassemble it , and send detail photos of that hardware inside. isit beneficial?

then you'd at least know if it's supportable.

it appears to be a *DSL device ?
chances are pretty high it's Broadcom based.


its not a dsl modem, its a router coming from telecom company in Dubai [etisalat]
but the modem manufacturer is arcadayan

I have an elife C1AA-WRV9518BHAX34-ET router, which is WiFi 6 capable and has 2x 2.5Gb port and 2xUSB. Additionally, it has 1GB RAM and 8GB flash memory. It seems like a very good option for OpenWRT. I've seen int the internet that many people are looking for OpenWRT for this model. Can anyone help with installing OpenWRT on it?"

With an all Broadcom design this is game over (as xDSL phone and wireless features will never work, no drivers).

this is not xdsl.
it is wifi 6 router with 2.5Gb ports

doesn't matter, Broadcom doesn't receive much love here.

wifi will not work, and you need to check if the SoC's supported by Linux.
