OpenWrt for Zyxel WSM20 (Multy M1) development discussion

It's true, but it would be great to know more about all the specs as in the ToH

I would say:

Bootloader: U-Boot 99,99%
Flash: 128Mb???
RAM: 256Mb???
Ethernet ports (100mb/1Gb): 1 WAN Gb and 3 LAN Gb

For me it looks the best future proof budget solution so far.

With the hype I'm seriously tempted on purchasing the pack of 3. They are absurdly cheap. Almost the same price as the shitty TP-Link TL-WR741 4/32 but we are talking about a killer AX1800 that may probably blast 90% of the current's ToH inventory (at least for a Dumb AP).

Given that 99,99% of the components have been already developed, only would like to see if the U-Boot can be halted and if it has some convenient way of flashing other than straight from UART (for dev is fine but for daily driver is a pain in the ass for me). But it seems that OEM factory images could be uploaded straight from Zyxel interface, which makes this amazing.

Also note that ZyXEL NR7101, NWA55AXE, NWA50AX has the exact same software and all three support 22.03.3

Also ZyXEL NR7101 is an amazing piece of hardware, which gives me some extra confidence on this budget APs.
