You can check that yourself, is it listed here: https://openwrt.org/toh/start?

If not, then it isn't supported - which might imply it never getting supported at all (unless you do the porting yourself).

--
While it shouldn't be too hard to support that hardware, I wouldn't recommend to buy it either - at all.

Hi,
I'm also interested in porting OpenWrt to this device. I have one available which I can use for testing.
As far as I saw this device is similar to RE305v1, RE350v1 and RE305v3.
I assume I have to add the device to target/linux/ramips/image/mt76x8.mk. Questions:

  • Is this the correct entry to start?
  • If yes: how to figure out the image size?
  • how can I avoid bricking my device during testing?

Thanks
Roland
