Support for cheap WiFi 7 router Spectrum Wireless Router SBE1V1X

Hey OpenWrt Team,

I wanted to give a heads-up about a pretty awesome and affordable WiFi 7 router that I think deserves OpenWrt support — the Spectrum Wireless Router SBE1V1X, made by Askey.

It’s surprisingly powerful for the price:

And here’s the crazy part — it’s going for around $50 on eBay, or $74 from Spectrum (if you lost it :wink: ), depending on your location. That’s way cheaper than most WiFi 7 routers with similar specs.

It could be a really solid OpenWrt device if support becomes available.

Might want to have a look at the Quantum w1700k, it's closer to being supported.

Thank you. Will look into this.
Spectrum Wireless Router SBE1V1X will be a great router compare to its specs and price.

I couldn't help myself and found one on eBay for $45. Should be here next week.

EDIT: turned out to be a scam
