There has been some work on this:

Cudy WR1300 v3 MT7613BE

Hello, Cudy WR1300 v3 is completely the same as v2 - has the same SoC, same Flash, same Switch, same WiFi hardware, but it has different data in the eeprom for MT7613BE. When loading this eeprom data, the mt7615 driver limits the tx power to 3dBm - it doesn't even look like it tries to set the txpower at all. I have made a patch to the driver itself and forced it to load eeprom hardcoded data from another (WR1300v2) device. When that patch is applied, the MT7613BE works as it does on v2 - with…

Give an approximate idea of publish date please.

Assuming that that the PRs have been or will be merged in time, the earliest it would be seen is 24.xx, which means still quite a while from now.

Sorry...

PR means "Pull Request" -- it is how new/updated code is added to the official project. This happens after the volunteer developer(s) finish the work for adding a device, and then is reviewed by the main (volunteer) developers.

24.xx is the next likely release of OpenWrt. 23.05 is the latest (that is to say that there was a point in May 2023 --23.05 -- that a new release was 'marked' but it was still several months before that became fully stable).

Cudy WR1300v3 differs very little from v2, so I made a new .dts to support it. It is already supported in snapshot versions (main development branch).

I also submitted a PR to support it in 23.05.x but it hasn't been approved yet - maybe someone can take a look at #14430 and accept it.

In the topic you linked I also made an unofficial build that is 100% compatible with 23.05.2 including the kernel version and works fine on the v3 hardware.
