yes,

it's however a 4mb flash unit, so there will be no new(er) firmwares available for it.

For some reason there's no ath79 build for it from

its important that no errors openwrt fw the release 18.06.9 will work i just worry to work good :slight_smile:

Step 4: upgrade your system with sysupgrade , is the system upgrade have ui? i had issues with v4 with sysupgrade

depends on version of openwrt.

18 would have ui, 19 might not, due to insufficient flash size, unless you use the ath79 images from the link above.

Snapshots will lack ui too.

Yes if you paid money for it, try to get your money back and buy something more suitable for OpenWrt.

No but you have to run old versions which have security issues, and you'll constantly be fighting the lack of space. Advanced applications like a VPN will never fit.

Also it's a slow CPU and 2.4 GHz only. To have some hope of being useful for a few years, I would not buy anything that is not dual band, 16/128 memory, and at least a MT7621A CPU.

does anyone try is wa901v3 work ok with any openwrt and what is safer for flash and works ok?

A device with more than 4 MB flash - I believe you've been told multiple times in addition to the warning on the device page.

Yes it's easy to overfill the filesystem, which results in a situation where you have to reset to defaults and start over. Not exactly a brick but still a headache.

And you will need to consider that at every turn whenever you install or change something.

For a beginner it is a lot easier to have more flash and not worry about such things.

If I had a bunch of them that I didn't pay anything for and a use case where it made sense, of course I'd try to press them into service. But that is not a beginner project.
