so i'll do your homework:

M13S2561616A = 32MB RAM
S25FL032P = 4MB flash

so its similar to WR841v8 without switch. so this unit could be a start. to the fact that wan is disabled by default and the single eth port might be detected as wan, it might result in a non working lan at the beginning. but this could be corrected via wlan.

maybe lom will create an initial build for testng.

The WA830RE v2 has nearly identical parts. I hope support for this device will be added soon.

Installed test build, based on WR841NDv8 r21286 (Thanks LOM)
It is working fine in client mode(Connection speed is 130 MB/s). I am using and testing from two weeks. No any problem found in client mode or any other settings except "Client Bridge Mode".
In Client Bridge Mode the devise is dis-connecting and reconnecting with primary router every 40 Sec. Note:After installation of DD-Wrt the alone port of devise is configured as WAN. only way to connect the devise is Wifi then disabled WAN and assign WAN port as LAN.
Actually I want to use this router as Client Bridge! any advise.

I also tried to install the test build, based on WR841NDv8, but I always get this error:
Code:
Error code: 18005
Upgrade unsuccessfully because the version of the upgraded file was incorrect. Please check the file name.

Changing the filename to a stock update filename does not work...

I'd like to use the device as access point and not as repeater :/
