Thinking of purchasing a Linksys EA7500. is this supported by LEDE?

Hardware Questions and Recommendations
1

I didn't find anything in the forums or documentation stating yes or no.

2

Usually the absence of yes is a no.

3

My good "replier" not all is as it seems. My router is supported but not listed, thus why I asked.

4

The EA7500 is not currently supported. However as it appears to be based on a Qualcomm IPQ processor future support is possible.

5

Thank you. I'll purchase the Linksys WRT1900ac for the time being.

What would it take to get the Linksys EA7500 on the roadmap for LEDE/OpenWRT? The stock firmware is not awesome.

  • getting a full boot text from the serial port
    • this usually shows things like the current partition layout, what sector of the flash (in Hex) that the Kernel is booting from, etc.
  • Images/info on the model number of the -
    • CPU (and its speed, architecture, etc.)
    • WiFi Chip(s) (make and model)
    • Memory (and its size)
    • Switch chip (if any)
  • USB chip (if any)
