Is this the right Xoami MI 4A router?

[cohen27]

Dear Colleagues,

1. Does this Xoami MI 4A Router have the right hardware to flash Open-wrt from the routers GUI page?. There seem to many different versions of this router that either don’t flash open-wrt or command-shell to flash (which I don’t want to risk). Is there anything I should ask the seller?. I attach the pictures of the model number.

2. If this router does have the right hardware, which older firmware version is the most stable and offers hardware acceleration for the MT7621 chipset?.

3. Also what is performance like on the 5Ghz channel - is it faster than stock firmware ?.

Thanks

Well, Chinese is Chinese, but I don't see any "A" in the model name, so who knows?

There is a certain procedure.

When using open source firmware, expect more features, not better performance.
