Please stop TL;DR'ing. Read all the links in the linked post. It is well known that the router database is not up to date, and I haven't compared the supported devices wiki with the current downloads available, but it may not be completely up-to-date. I don't know what your specific question is about, but obviously it is about currently unsupported devices. Device support requires hardware donation and / or support detection. This is nothing new.You want newer devices supported that are more readily available in market, then start doing the work.
The most recently added devices are:
Quote:
• Support added for Netgear R6800, R6850, R6260, R6350, R6220 and WNDR3700v5. • Support added for Netgear WAC124.
Sorry for late response, like I said previous version device are under shortage and offline market 2x/3x price specially Netgear/Linksys series [Due to covid-19 I guess] and latest version available mostly Wi-Fi 6 series and cheaper price. But the question is will it support DD-WRT in future as database is outdated [Point taken without device availability testing is not possible]. Here are the list of few devices.
I've personally been curious if there is a way to use the DumaOS Firmware from netgear's XR1000 routers as a stepping stone to getting DDWRT firmware working in other wifi 6 routers from Netgear.
You could have at least dug up the hardware information.

This is a Broadcom device. Broadcom Wi-Fi 6 support will NOT happen:

I'm pretty sure there is specific code required to port those devices officially. I would not recommend trying to flash the DIR-878/882 images to any of them. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

Which means absolutely nothing. Please again refer to the links for hardware donation and router support detection. Topic moved to Generic since this does fall into development for new devices. It would be awesome if people would just contribute the patches required to add new device support. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"
