I have these routers in a ptp long distance both the wbs 210 and wbs 510 and thanks for updating it patiently waiting for the wbs 510.I can't get another router to use with openwrt which is supported example the ubiquity R5AC lite so if anyone needs a wbs 510 email me i will purchase and send it to you thanks for the your time and effort
I should be receiving a WBS510 V2 in the next week or two to test.
I have created a branch for it and will create a PR once I have tested it.
My Test code is located at https://github.com/apcameron/openwrt/tree/wbs510v2-ath79
Sounds good but i dont have the version 2 i have version 1 I would assume lots of people have the version 1 of the 210 as well.
TP-Link WBS510 v1.20
Currently the WBS510 v1.20 is supported under ar71xx
https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/18.06.4/targets/ar71xx/generic/openwrt-18.06.4-ar71xx-generic-wbs510-v1-squashfs-factory.bin
And
https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/18.06.4/targets/ar71xx/generic/openwrt-18.06.4-ar71xx-generic-wbs510-v1-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
Will that work for you or does it have to be on the ath79 branch for what you need?
its working fine but i cannot get to 27 dbm its stuck on 13dbm no matter what country i change to. and my data rate is below 54mb at 27dbm i get 150 i think. Ihave tried ath 79 on cpe 210 and i get 30dbm so im assuming its fixed on the ath79 thas why i needed to try it
Ok, Do you know how to recover your device if something goes wrong?
I can create an image for you for testing on the WBS510 v1, if you want to try it but it will need to wait until I get my WBS510 v2 so I can validate that my changes will work ok.
yes i can tftp to tp link software with 192.168.0.100 i know all these stuff
Great. I will let you know in the next week or two when I have an image for you to test.
Hopefully My WBS510 v2 arrives soon.
ok thanks a million ill wait.
Please test this code and if it works send me a copy of output of dmesg and I will open PR to get it supported.
Send you an output of what?
Test the code I sent in the message above and if it works on your WBS510 v1 connect to the device with ssh
at the prompt type
dmesg
and send me the output
The files you will need will be in the folder bin/targets/ath79/generic called
openwrt-ath79-generic-tplink_wbs510-v1-squashfs-factory.bin and
openwrt-ath79-generic-tplink_wbs510-v1-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
Yes im working on it now i will use putty to ssh

I have created a PR Request to get it supported under the ath79 Branch.
You can track the status by looking at the PR
Its been working all day but I have one slight problem the dbm power is stuck at 14 and I cant get it to anywhere near 27 for me case I use 23 dbm on auto but its not working right can you fix the power issue?
Mail](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986) for Windows 10
So it is behaving the same as when it was running on the ar71xx branch?
What does the following return when you ssh to the device
