Hi guys,

Just saw on latest beta release r56820 dated 06/12/2024 two AX devices finally supported by DD-WRT:

Should I consider one of them or go with Asus TUF-AX4200 supported by OpenWRT ?

Thanks Cool

The DL-WRX36 is the more powerful device and very well supported by OpenWRT.

I have one and am very happy with it:

Are you going to try DD-WRT on your WRX36 device?

I will update Announcement: 802.11 AX Supported routers - W.I.P. when we get a public release, it's already listed as a WIP. Will need info for device wiki, as usual.

How does one get access to the "testserver"? I have been an active member here since 2006. Seems like I should be able to have it.

We are at 57200 as minimum usable build for currently supported AX routers until determined otherwise due to the wifi tab issue that is now fixed. Next up should be Asus RT-AX89X, and this thread doesn't need to focus on that or anything else for that matter. Thanks for the noise.

EDIT: MR7350 has been rolled back to 06-19-2024-r56941 for minimum usable build in the Supported Devices Wiki.

To summarize, I understand there are currently only three AX devices supported by DD-WRT with one more coming soon.

Code:
Linksys MR7350        2/5 Ghz dual band    Gigabit ports only
Linksys MX4200        2/5/5 Ghz tri band   Gigabit ports only
Dynalink WRX36        2/5 Ghz dual band    One 2.5GB WAN port
Asus RT-AX89X (soon)  2/5 Ghz dual band    Two 10gb WAN port


This means no Wifi 6E (6Ghz) or Wifi 7 devices and limited multigig Ethernet devices.

Would like to see the highest end ASUS routers added such as GT-AXE 16000 and RT-BE96U.

Check recent release (57595) downloads folder. There's more than just those four, and RT-AX89X is in active support and development. Sorry, I am only one person, some folks' help is not very helpful, and life takes precedence over building wikis, adding information, or edits. Also, if you want to see a device supported, open new thread and send a hardware donation. Take care now.

Won't happen as these are both Broadcom routers.
And the RT-AX89X does not have 2x 10Gbit WAN ports but a 10GBase-T and a 10G SFP+ port ... you can use them for whatever you want.

And what is so high end about the routers? they also have low power B53 CPUS
You'll quickly realize that they can't manage 10Gbit without tricks ...

Thanks for that, @ho1Aetoo. I didn't chase that rabbit down the hole. Yes, no Broadcom AX Wifi6/6E/7 support will happen in DD-WRT. Seems even the old crowd is oblivious to this. Adding link to this part of the thread for the sticky, knowing both will likely be ignored, because reasons.

PolitePol is throwing the error "Downloaded. Not json: Parser client error: Connection was refused by other side: 111: Connection refused." and I do not use RSS.

What high end routers are candidates for DD-WRT? By high end, I mean must have at least Wifi 6E (or 7), Ethernet ports must be at least 2.5GB, and hardware resources must provide the performance.

Are there any Wifi 6E or Wifi 7 (non-Broadcom) routers that actually are realistic candidates for DD-WRT?

Even the much larger OpenWRT project supports virtually no Wifi 7 or 6E devices with the exception of.

https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/commit/7e7eb5312d7810084547bb54a4b6867c2da08182

https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/commit/6cc14bf66aa924962b926ea9702b6153ae418a7d

both Mediatek based.

Otherwise, there are only a few powerful multigigabit routers:

https://openwrt.org/inbox/toh/sinovoip/bananapi_bpi-r4
https://openwrt.org/toh/iei/puzzle-m902

But you can always buy or assemble an x86.
With a powerful processor and the right network cards, x86 can also manage 100Gbit

Note: you will probably have to wait several more years.
I also had to wait 1.5 years for the dynalink
