Netgear WAX202 supported?

Hello,

The TOH page seems to suggest the Netgear WAX202 is supported under 22.03.3 https://openwrt.org/toh/netgear/wax202

However, I could not find a release for this router.

Can anyone advise if this device is fully supported AX and the correct download link please.

Cheers

device page is incomplete (I've updated it)

I flashed the Wax202 from stock no problem and it as working great however I noticed on the TOH Page it says the router has 128MB of flash storage. My device says to only have 32.9MB. Am I missing something?

A 128 MB NAND flash does not imply that 128 MB are actually available at your disposal. Most modern devices are using some form of a/b dual-firmware setups, which already halves your flash from the get go, more space is reserved to other partitions.

In this case, even though OpenWrt will currently only use the first partition set (while the OEM firmware apparently uses both), you get 4+34 MB out of it (see https://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt/openwrt.git;a=blob;f=target/linux/ramips/dts/mt7621_netgear_wax202.dts;h=02f540d7431ce0d0a1128704349da2e560809726;hb=HEAD#l95 for the detailed partitioning).
