Hi,

So it seems TP-Link has released a new version of its TL-WA850RE (version 2), which is not (yet) supported by OpenWRT. Unfortunately, I am not a programmer, but I have one of those devices (I thought I was buying version 1) and now I have a Wifi repeater which can barely do anything. So I've searched around the internet to see what kind of information I could find:

Allegedly, it has the same hardware as TL-WR841ND v10 (Source). So for someone with some technical knowledge, it shouldn't be too hard to port it, right? If someone here can create a build, that would be awesome. I'm looking forward to testing it. Thanks

The discussion might have continued from here.
