Curious if this dirt cheap switch has OpenWRT support.
Realtek based. Metal case. Workable switch.
Weirdly short lead on the AC side of power supply, 9 inches (23cm). The DC side cord is 45 inches (114cm). Switch Weighs 266g (9.4 oz). It has a red power LED with blue LED port indicators. They are under the ports. The power LED is very close to the port 1 indicator. The web interface on this is very similar to TP-Link's TL-SG108E (compare screenshots in the two manuals). I think they might even use the same chip as the feature sets are also quite similar. The feature set seems complete, and the web interface is reasonable to get around. == Internals == This switch is a single chip switch solution with four NT36201D magnetics packages. The switch chip is a QFP-128 package, has a 25MHz crystal oscillator, and is supplied with 3.3V and 1.1V supplies. It uses an external flash chip to store the firmware. The chip has a heatsink, but it also has a thermal pad connecting it to the case behind the circuit board. Doesn't seem to need this much cooling, but it could be good in hot locations. There is a internal 3-pin unpopulated serial header. It operates at 57600 baud. You can interrupt the boot to access an SPI flash viewer, or to download a new kernel (unknown method). After booting, the switch provides a basic configuration menu. From here you can print the IP/Subnet/Gateway/MAC. You can modify the MAC, Model Name, Hardware Version, and change the factory default IP configuration. I dumped parts of the flash, and I did see the string "RTL8367N" in the flash dump. I couldn't find direct info about this chip, but there is also RTL8370N which seems very close and a datasheet is available if you need details.
Also I've seen someone modify a build somehow to get the RTL8361 going so while I'm sure it is possible.
When I search for it there is no information that comes up. This thing is very low budget it doesn't seem like a radical proposition that it could be made to function via OpenWRT.
IDK not entirely sure here but it is curious.
