Support Request for TP-Link Archer A6 V4

Dear Respected Developers,
Most humbly, I would like to request for adding OpenWrt support for my new purchased router TP-Link Archer A6 V4 . Can I install firmware image of its V3 variant ??? Or, Can I install any Snapshot version ??? Please reply....thanks....

Best Regards,

there's no such wish list, new devices are usually added by the people who own them.
if you lack the skills, return it.

do those two share the same hw ?

only if you enjoy hi-tech paper weights.

I just purchased an A6 for OpenWRT not knowing there was a V4, and received a V4.

I have taken some photos of the internals for hardware reference.
Currently looking for V3 and V2 photos to compare.

I too am in this boat. I am not averse to trying to do develop it myself, either, but I worked 72.038 hours last week and I'll be doing more next week...

See you dudes in like a month, I hope it goes well for me.

Any update here? I too, am in the same situation. If I had known that there was a v4 of the TP-Link A6 router, I would have been more careful when purchasing.

As interesting as firmware development for the v4 of this router may sound, I definitely don't have the relevant familiarity with this project, nor do I have hours of spare time to devote...

Hi, I also bought the A6, but I have the V4.6, I took some photos to see if they have differences

Sorry for bad quality.
