c50 seems like a great device - cheap, small, dual band. perfect for the community networks i'm working
there seems to be support for the c50 v1, but i could not find it locally: only v2. now v2 seems to run atheros SOC, so it doesn't seem complicated to get it working. how can help the development of it?
i can telnet into it (not ssh),but i don't get the usual linux shell. instead, i get some tp-link shell:
TP-LINK(conf)#help
normal mode commands:
clear --- clear screen
exit --- leave to the privious mode
help --- help info
history --- show histroy commands
logout --- logout cli model
config mode commands:
config --- enter config mode
igmp --- igmp config
wan --- wan config
wlctl --- wireless config
lan --- lan config
dev --- device control
then i tried i few commands:
TP-LINK(conf)#dev
valid sub cmd:
reset
reboot
version
serial
TP-LINK(conf)#dev version
cmd:SUCC:softwareVersion=0.8.0 0.3 v005c.1 Build 160801 Rel.73434n
TP-LINK(conf)#dev serial
valid sub cmd:
show
TP-LINK(conf)#dev serial show
cmd:SUCC:serialNumber=18D6C73F4F2D
is there anything else i could get from this shell?
I also have this router but wouldn't be able to make a serial connection to the board. Is there anything else I could do to help LEDE support this device?
The Archer C50 v2 is a broken model altogether. Please avoid at all costs since the hardware design is defective. No third-party firmware will fix your problem. Apparently, TP-Link will be sending me the v3 but I'm not sure I'll give them another chance.
