Hi,

I have an ASUS TR-N56 BI and see in the wiki page that V2 is unsupported.

Is there no way OpenWRT can be installed on this router??

Any help gladly appreciated !

kind regards

Peter

Looks like it could be supportable but you would have to add support for it yourself and compile your own code.

Edit: just ran make menuconfig on the trunk and I didn't notice any support for MediaTek MIPS 1004Kc however https://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/d-link/dir-860l seems to have the same CPU? Further investigation required or someone else to confirm CPU support.

Further: So in make menuconfig I can see

Target System (Ralink RT288x/RT3xxx)  --->
Subtarget (MT7621 based boards)  --->
Target Profile (D-Link DIR-860L B1)  --->

but no profile for you particular device.

Do you have a serial cable that you can attach and get an OEM bootlog or can you telnet into the device or anything?

Or can you get any photos of the board (by opening) and confirm any chipsets?

Hi Xotic750,

Thanks for your suggestion. I have no time to do this at the moment. This router has been around for a while and I am surprised its not supported. I was only looking at it as a low cost alternative to the WRT1200AC which I have running as a Social WiFi hotspot product supporting facebook and google+ logins for Free WiFi.

Thank you for your efforts.

kind regards

Peter

n56u b1 support can be added as it's a MT7621S device and several similar boards are already supported, but it needs some knowledge about how to create profile and write a proper DTS file

also building openwrt for it will unlock 802.11AC support for this device.

I'm looking into adding support for the N56U B1, but I'm not completely sure how to find the right information.

There are two articles that describe the process of adding a new device, but I would need some more detail as I'm not that experienced with embedded devices. Is there some more information available somewhere? Especially on how to find out the device tree?
