D-Link DIR-842 C1 is now Qualcomm (Atheros) based.

https://wikidevi.wi-cat.ru/D-Link_DIR-842_rev_C1

DIR-842 A1 is Realtek-based, but C1 is Qualcomm (Atheros) based.

Is it possible to be supported by DD-WRT?

Thank you.

I don't know if anyone ever contacted the developer; the usual process involves a hardware donation to port the device. It looks as if most of the router detection information is present, however a fullflash dump would help determine a few necessary things.

Here's where we stand on this:

Nobody has provided a fullflash dump or hardware donation, I'm sure, but this is what we have so far.

technically it can be supported. i dont have this device nor a flashdump. doing it blind is risky for the user.
i mean usually its not hard todo it blind. most of the routers of dlink are technically identical over a wide series of devices
the dir 859 firmware usually works on it. but i see another problem. i downloaded the factory firmware for it. and its
ahm encrypted.

Is that off the main website? DIR-842 C1 FW v3.00? I usually use the https://tsd.dlink.com.tw/ site for finding firmware.

yes just the mainsite. according to openwrt it must be flashed from the recovery bootloader. hard to try without device
