Summary: Broadcom based so will never be able to use wifi due to lack of opensource drivers.
This is a wifi 6 access point / mesh node as supplied by the ISP KPN in the Netherlands. They are easy to buy on the 2nd hand market but there is not much info online about the hardware specifications. It's a pain to take one apart due to the large number of strong clips. Unfortunately it is Broadcom based so will never run OpenWrt due to lack of opensource wifi drivers.
When you connect them with an ethernet cable to an OpenWrt router they get an ip address from dhcp. They do have a local management web interface where you can configure them as dumb AP.
Interesting, thanks for posting. The WiFi certification lists this as a Arcadyan WE620242-99. That device has various ‘cousins’ that are distributed by ISPs globally, including T-Mobile, Chungwa, Singtel, etc. Those devices are all based around the MediaTek MT7986B SoC.
Could you post some more pictures of the label and the PCB? This might be a different hardware revision, or the KPN device is indeed very different from it’s cousins.
Once I realised it was Broadcom I lost interest and didn't bother to get a boot log or take any pictures. I've got a picture of the label but it does not show a revision number. The access point is at my parents place and a pain to take apart so can't provide any more pictures unfortunately.
The local web interface has a button to check for new firmware on the ISP server but there is no file upload box available. I've not seen any firmware files anywhere.
wikidevi shows it is supposed to be mediatek based but does not include any pictures.
