Hi Lede team,

I bought a New tp link WBS210 v2.0, do you have any plan to support v2.0, How can I help?

What can I do to help?

do you know any tutorial for DYI?

Thanks a lot

I have one as well. I found that it works if I add some strings to .support_list in tplink-safeloader.c

I then could upload the firmware, reboot and log in to openwrt. So it looks like the hardware is about the same. I would also like to help for getting revision v2.0 support into openwrt.

I could do a pull request, but I guess there is a bit more work necessary. The build still has v1.2 in the name, so I think that somehow it should be renamed or an additional image should be generated for v2.0. I'm unsure how to do this.

Thank you. And how did you know that this is changing there?

Hi. If you download the latest version of the trunk. Choose the following:

Target Systems (Atheros AR7xxx/AR9xxx)
Subtarget (Generic)
Target Profile (TP-LINK WBS210 v1)

Everything will work without changing the file tplink-safeloader.c
However, this will also work if you carry changes to this file.

Is this file needed at all?
