You're not really answering mk24's question.
Yes, there's a firmware available.
No, there's no snapshot available.
I wouldn't recommend something that's technically unsupported, and I (currently) own four w1700k's myself.

Private imports of FCC-only equipment into other regulatory regions (ETSI, MKK, etc.) is challenging, while it might work out for some, I wouldn't exactly recommend it on a broader scale. On the one hand you have to deal with rather high shipping costs and taxes (still, the hardware is worth that), but you can quickly enter hot waters in terms of proper declaration and getting it past customs (because if the customs officers do their job, they will have to reject it, as these devices are not fit for importing into the EU (no CE mark) and are configured for the wrong regulatory domain (which makes importing and operating them in the ETSI area illegal)).
finally a 2.5WAN/2.5LAN router
Again not yet supported ![]()
Why has no one suggested the OpenWrt One? It was around 89 US. I picked one up as a backup for other maintenance/testing on my primary. Seemed to work fine for my household needs. It took a while to get it. But it may make the under the $100 mark.
I got flint 2 for 106 Euro from Aliexpress. Very happy. They seem to be doing discount again, it shows 104 Euro on google, incl. shipping.
Why has no one suggested the OpenWrt One?
because it is, in practice, a $200 device.
I don't know if scalpers or what, but it is NEVER available for decent/practical vendors for under $150ish. This is the Best one amazon (and almost guarantee the project is not geting the $10 donation):
To make things worse, the company also makes things like these, which i don't even know what it is (could be a very nice dev board or just a crappy pi clone, who knows)
(edit, found better pics. it's all RTL chipsets on the board)
Right now, the only place I've found one (and it even is the version with case!), shows $98 but is from aliexpress with no warranty. And even then, the price shows as "$98.73 ~$222.55~ New shoppers save $123.82"
...I'm really tempted on the Cudy. Either the RT3000 or the TR1200. But right when I was about to buy the RT3000/256ram, amazon replaced all product pages to show "cudy AX3000" instead and now I will wait to understand wtf is that about.
If you're referring to US prices, this is probably because of the tariffs ?
The GL-MT3600BE has been as low as ~$80, according to Amazon.
of course, the tarifs. didn't think much of that, but you might be right. Sigh. Such clown world. Having to pay the government for the priviledge of some capitalist ofshoring.
anyway, the gl.inet device sounds good, but they are NOT cheap. And not top notch... I had two in the past that I used to seed torrent files for some project, and both of them killed their Usb pendrives that were attached 24/7 for holding the files.
Here is the actual price of the one you suggested
(maybe I should put a price alert ![]()
edit: gl.inet seems to have one sub$100 device, the GL-SFT1200, which has zero support.
alexa graph seems to be stealing from camelcamelcamel... it seems the same graph as the one I shared. But the summary is misleading, because it was $101 for probably a couple hours lol. likely a mistake.
I'm now trying to find out if the cudy ax3000 is supported. I think, at least in trumpreich, it is the best cost-benefit in the market.
edit: the cuddy ax3000 might be supported. Just saw that amazon seller droped rt3000 from the title, but now there's a little "model: rt3000" furter down. So it might just be the newer version with Cudy started using a new flash chip in their AX3000 devices, it's currently unsupported - #26 by flashrom
If you could get this in your region, Netcore N60 Pro....RMB 399 in JD
Wi-Fi 6 router based on the MediaTek MT7986AV (Filogic 830) SoC. It features 2x 2.5GbE ports, 3x 1GbE ports, and 4×4 MU-MIMO on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands.
Is this the "Leike N60"? Unobtainable on AliExpress but it's on Taobao "international"
Not quite sure if they are same company
