Who can help buid firmware?
Chips list:
RTL8676S HAG12E3 GH512
RTL8271B H8T20P1 GH405
RTL8188ER HAJ35P1 GH47
are these supported by Linux now ? previously they weren't.
I don't know. How to check it?
It's my firs experience with OpenWRT.
This router has DSL as WAN.
Want to use LAN1 as WAN interface.
https://www.kernel.org/ would know.
you picked the wrong hw for it ... 
The RTL8676S chipset is based on a MIPS architecture with a MIPS 24K core, commonly used in embedded systems like routers and DSL modems. The MIPS 24K series is a widely used family of MIPS cores, which are designed for high-performance networking and communication tasks.
CPU Specifications
- CPU Architecture: MIPS 24K
- Core Count: Single-core
- Clock Speed: Typically between 500 MHz to 1 GHz (depending on the model and configuration).
- Cache: L1 cache (instruction and data cache).
skip the AI replies, they don't answer the questions asked anyway.
- If someone asks a question on the forum and you do not know the answer, DO NOT turn to any generative AI or LLM instance, ask the question, and post the output as an answer - attributed or otherwise.
It's far better that the forum is populated with posts from knowledgable subject matter experts rather than unattributable, unproven content from LLMs which will then feed back via web scraping into the LLMs again, potentially compounding a wrong answer many times over.

How to check is my chip support?
Can you help me?
how are
related to
?
open the device up, take photos of the PCB, and post them, but you should assume it's a dead end.
that appears to be a 32MBit (= 4MB) flash chip, minimum requirement for openwrt is 16MB.
As you say...
If I'm change flash chip, it's been possible to build firmware?
not if the SoC isn't supported.
Thank you for your patience and spending time.
but this been 8 years ago.....
…and nothing has changed within those 8 years, at all.
lexra still isn't supported (nor any more likely to get supported in the future, fortunately even Realtek has moved from it in their more recent designs).
Realtek xDSL modems aren't supported.
Support for Realtek wireless chipsets varies a lot (it's getting better for very recent ones, but especially the older ones leave a lot to be desired); this one is among the old ones
4 MB flash are an immediate disqualification as well, replacing the flash chip might make it easier for you - but one-off modified hardware wouldn't be merged into OpenWrt.
There has been no one working on this hardware, ever - given the very sub-specs hardware no one will either.
