HI.  I have a router Buffalo WZR-1750DHP (BCM4708) with OpenWRT CC 15.05, since the wifi antennas of this routers is very bad, I opted to add one external USB wifi TL-WN7200ND to use as wifi.

the problem is that I connect the antenna to the usb 2.0 port but the wifi USB is not turning on the lights, and is not detected in the command wifi detect. even when I installed the drivers as this:

opkg update
opkg install kmod-rt2800-lib kmod-rt2800-usb kmod-rt2x00-lib kmod-rt2x00-usb

the antenna is detected fine in other openwrt MR3020 with 12.09 AA

any help ??

thanks in advance

kmod-fs-ext4
block-mount
kmod-usb-net-cdc-ether
kmod-usb-ohci
kmod-usb-net
kmod-usb-uhci
kmod-usb2

kmod-usb-acm

The discussion might have continued from here.
