Unless it's unlocked and multi-band, you might could only activate it on T-Mobile and/or MetroPCS...the FCC data appears to show 2 bands available in the older model, and 4 bands in the other.
Given that many components of OpenWRT are licensed under GPL, assuming that the device is within the window of responsibility of those licenses, you should be able to request the full GPL disclosure on the unit.

Yes these are unlocked and only do LTE Bands 4 & 12.
I seen a lot of devices that need band 17 will use band.
AT&T and T-Mobile use LTE bands 4 and 12.
But I only need it for t-mobile because they have the best price on data.
Sorry about all the jpgs.
Thank You

That shows 32 MB of RAM, which is barely acceptable-- for simple uses it is enough but there will be problems running large applications like OpenVPN. The flash size is 32 MB which is plenty. Make sure the flash chip is something OpenWrt supports. You will need to read the number on the chip itself since it is not in the logs.
Under Backfire there is a big difference in that the file system is not writeable-- the configuration is stored as a key-value database in a special "nvram" partition.
Cleaned up a bit and removed the log posted as pictures, in favour of the now available pure text form.
I think the chip is a Lantiq PXB 4100 EL - Photo attached.
I looked closer at the chip and it says it is a xway grx168
I see that there are some builds for the arx168, but don't see any for the grx168.
Will any of them work for my device?
PXB 4100 Belhaven MIPS ??? MHz 1 ADSL2+ FE MAC w/FE PHY,
GRX100/GRX168 (PXB 4100) 0 devices [ARK] Intel-AnyWAN-GRX100-Network-Processors)
I also see the Buffalo makes a device with the Lantiq ARX168 - could one of those work for the GRX168 chip?
Thank You
The GRX chip may just be an ARX with the wifi section deleted.
Do you see a serial port on the board?
Not a DB9 serial port, but there is a port above the pci express card.
Maybe a J-Tag Port - I don't know for sure, but it is not used.
I only need a Ethernet and the PCI express card to work.
I do not need the firewall option, because I run a firewall behind this modem that does the NAT and Firewall utilities.
I will try to attach another photo with the port that I do not know what it is.
Thank You
Jeff, I cannot connect to the 'User Manual' link above.
Yes I am connecting with telnet and/or http.
But http has very limited options to config the device.
Thank You,
