I am new to development. I have had this router laying around for years and would love to get open wrt installed to use it as a wireless repeater.
router spec: https://deviwiki.com/wiki/TP-LINK_Archer_C5400_v2.x
If anyone can guide me through the building process it would be very helpfull. Just want the repeater function.
Broadcom is pretty much a no go, if you need wireless.
Found a device with similar spec Dlink DIR-885L has OpenWRT firmware so is it possible to build for this one?
Sure, if you don't need/want any decent wifi.
855L have Qualcomm radios, not Broadcom.
No they both have Broadcom radio. Have a look here https://deviwiki.com/wiki/D-Link_DIR-885L_rev_A1
BTW I am talking about A1 version of 885L
Yeah, my bad. I mixed 855L and 885L up.
But the statement stands, Broadcom wifi is a no go, from an openwrt point of view.
But this 885L has worked with full 2.4g and also 5g support
He is talking about A2 version but I am referring to A1 version
