OpenWrt support for Grandstream GWN7664LR

For Developers
1

I'm looking at the GWN7664LR and have pulled the fcc images showing IPQ8072A. I'm seeing that there's some progress on this but it's on some Xoami products and I didn't want to muddy those posts up. @robimarko looks like you've done the most work on the IPQ8072A, have you looked at this grandstream?

Unfortunately I just don't have the time to hack on this, hoping I can borrow some of that effort from others. I'm willing to buy and ship one of these untis to get it in a skilled person's hands.

A little off topic here, but I'm mostly just looking for an outdoor grade 4x4 ax product on openwrt because I need to run batman-adv on it. This unit fits the bill other than lack of available openwrt image.

Thanks.

Cant say I have seen this AP so far, whats the price anyway?

3

list $229, via distributor more like $155

That sounds decent, do you know if they are using anything special or just QSDK=

5

no idea, but grandstream tends to be on the cheaper end of things so I doubt they broke from the lowest-resistance path here.

Well, looks like the FW updates are encrypted or least encoded

7

you think it's worth your time to poke at?

8

Not really until the stock FW can be unpacked

ok, I was kinda flipping back and forth on pursuing this or grabbing a banani pi r3 and putting it in my own box. Thanks.

Have a look at OpenWrt support for WAX218 or Dynalink DL-WRX36 Askey RT5010W IPQ8074 OpenWrt support .

I was looking for an outdoor device with 4x4 for 2.4ghz and this is the only one with a reasonable price that I found.

Did anybody manage to make progress for this device?
