My company just upgraded to AP-535, now we have bunch of AP-325, which i have converted to IAP a few and wondering if i can install openwrt and use it as home router sine AP-325 has 2 ethernet ports?

You would need to port OpenWRT to the device. I don't think that is going to be hard but it will take some tinkering. As far as home routers go it probably isn't going to be a great option. The hardware is not designed for that so you will likely see performance problems. That's not to say that you…

Im Interested in using this, I have flashed some AP303's and AP105's so would like to give the AP325 a go at flashing it. I will purchase one but would like some guidance on where to start, I have console cables etc available

PR is open if you want to try it out: https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/20738

Is this in the snapshots yet or do you still have to build your own image for this target ? Thanks in advance for any direction

it is not, see link in previous comment, pull request still open

My apologies, it’s not very clear to me, but the route to get this to work for just fooling around would be to roll your own image ? Thanks for the reply

I got this to boot on SNAPSHOT, r32643-5d362df873

Late reply, I guess, but as long as the PR isn't merged, you have to build yourself.

Support for Aruba (i)AP-325?
