Hi all. I don't see any tp-link range extenders in the supported hardware database. I assume they can work, because most of the older models are listed on OpenWRT.

But I gather that there may not be completely FOSS drivers for the MT7615 yet, which is why I'm back here.

It's this beasty
https://wikidevi.com/wiki/TP-LINK_RE650_v1.x

Firmware Version: 1.0.6 Build 20180719 Rel. 36926(6583)
Hardware Version: RE650 v1.0

If it might be possible, or would be useful, I'm more than happy to pull it apart and take photos and whatever else might be needed...

Cheers,
-J

Hi all,
Anyone to help on this matter ?

Hi Jaymax,
Did you get any feedbacks (pm or whatever) ?

I have 3 RE650 wired & used as AP that I would like to flash with dd-wrt too.

Have a nice day!

If it's not listed here: https://wiki.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Supported_Devices

then someone needs to sacrifice a device and donate it for the cause:

Hi kernel-panic69,

Thanks for your reply.

I am considering buying a used RE650 to send to DDWRT.

But I am sure sending them this piece of hardware is not a commitment on their side to develop the appropriate firmware. I mean, they need to have ressources (poeple) on their side to work on it & it may be difficult to deal with some hardwares...

Any guess what are chances they develop the firmware once I shipped them ?

Thanks,
R

There is no “they”. It’s one guy, brainslayer and chances are slim as he hasn’t even released firmware for routers he does have already.
