Topic: Wrong patches/articles as some chinese routers have the same names

Hi,

I just noticed that an article in the wiki was changed, because someone has a Chinese TP-Link WR941ND v6 and thought it would be the same as the European/American WR941ND v6.
Actually the hardware is totally different.

The WR941ND v6-image in Barrier Breaker will brick European WR941ND v6 as the patch for support was also added by a Chinese who confused these routers with each other (see this patch - which actually works - http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/504451/).

How shall we handle such issues?
Concerning the wiki: Adding a separate page for the Chinese versions?

Regards,

First step would be to clearly distinguish between v6 EU/US and CN version on the devicepage.

The discussion might have continued from here.
