Yep.... just checked this link an hour after you posted it, and its $51 now.

Was this one the performed pretty good on AC? Not so interested in AX at this point as something $30 with decent AC performance for AP replacements...

There's a reason why the post says check other sellers...

CAD $63.93 from US domain, CAD $116.xx-$186.xx from CA domain. Still a bargain.

@v2zEPhNxdm When there's no device page there often is a techdata page though. That contains all the info you need.

Thanks, so techdata page has this for factory image:

https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/22.03.0/targets/ramips/mt7621/openwrt-22.03.0-ramips-mt7621-netgear_wax202-squashfs-factory.img

But github page has both:

target/linux/ramips/dts/mt7621-ax-nand-wax202.dts

and

target/linux/ramips/dts/mt7621_netgear_wax202.dts

So i am a bit confused

dts is something else, it's required then creating the image, but not a file you need for flashing, it's embedded in the image.

Thanks.

I just got Belkin RT3200 and it is great. A few steps to follow to install.

WAX202 installation seems much simpler to install.

I might get WAX202 for my parents home.

If somethng goes wrong, seems easier to flash new image when im on other side of the country.

I purchased one on Sept 17 at the figure mentioned, with a ship date Oct 28. No prob.. Updated shipping info came in Sept 22, and I checked Amazon an another batch of 25 sold by Amazon and shipped by Amazon cropped up.... and now gone....

The Belkin RT3200 is on sale at Walmart for $60 - https://www.walmart.com/ip/18N7VA8X70R6
Only red flag is that it's not sold by Walmart. The current Walmart sale price is $75 (which is still pretty good).

What am I to do with all this memory?
Back to Stubby with WireGuard and a twist of oisd for blocking ads via dnsmasq.

ps only saw the Amazon price reflected once since posting above. And I grabbed another one the 28 of September for a way out Nov 7 delivery.
