Help adding support for TP-Link CPE 610 v1

Hi, I have a TP-Link CPE 610 v1 that I would like to get OpenWrt working on. I'm new so I'm not really sure what needs to be done but I've included some infomation that I was able to get off of the device.

I have created my own patches to get it running on OpenWrt
Have a look at https://github.com/aredn/aredn_ar71xx/blob/develop/patches/001-add_support_for_TP-Link_CPE610_v1.patch

agus · February 18, 2019, 7:51am

hi, can u please give step by step how to make it running on cpe 610

apcameron · February 19, 2019, 2:46am

Hi,

Have a Look at my PR https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/1748 for the ATH79 version.

For the AR71xx version you would apply my patch https://github.com/aredn/aredn_ar71xx/blob/develop/patches/001-add_support_for_TP-Link_CPE610_v1.patch

Then you would follow the standard Openwrt build process.

Regards

Andrew

hi,
thanks for your guide .
but i'm very new about open wrt , usually i install just by upload firmware to the router and it's done . can you guide me please step by step cause i need WPA2/ENTERPRISE on CPE610.

apcameron · February 22, 2019, 12:02am

Hi,

Here are the High level Steps for a Linux System

You need to install all the Prerequisites

https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-developer/build-system/install-buildsystem

Then you would build the system as follows

git clone https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt.git

Apply the Patches from my PR https://patch-diff.githubusercontent.com/raw/openwrt/openwrt/pull/1748.patch

Save this to a file and use it to patch the openwrt folder using git apply or the patch command.

Then follow the Instructions below but select the tplink_cpe610-v1 Device.

https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-developer/build-system/use-buildsystem

Regards

Andrew
