some notes on the new supported Linksys MR7350 which is one of the first 802.11AX devices with DD-WRT Support :

technical data here:

https://wikidevi.wi-cat.ru/Linksys_MR7350

The Router comes with a Qualcomm IPQ6028 CPU (1.8 GHz, 4 cores) with native AES support , Wireless lan up to 1200Mbps

The device with DD-WRT Firmware is very fast with all VPN encryption cyphers no matter if Wireguard or Openvpn , my Internet is too slow so reach maximum ... with openvpn aes 256 gcm i get 260mbps at around 5% CPU load ...

brainslayer told me the CPU is capable of up to 1Gbps/sec throughput with openssl , if i remember right ...

the device is relativly low priced 2nd hand in regard to its capabilities .. the stock firmware is very bleak with very basic functionality ... dd-wrt is a huge upgrade to this device.



important note if you want to try DD-WRT yourself on this Linksys device:

the stockfirmware doesnt give access by default to a firmware upgrade menue!

it can be reached at this Link :

https://192.168.1.1/fwupdate.html


it comes with dualboot firmware feature



next 802.11ax device will be probably Linksys MX4200 soon ..

i attached the latest test build, the Router is since 2 days supported , brainlayer was doing a marathon making it work in the past days !

Great news to finally get this for the first AX supported Wireless Router. I have been following this in the subversion. It WAS indeed a very fast turnaround from start to finish!

Plus, I just found one of these on a popular auction site with a "buy it now" option for $27. Advertised as new open box in mint condition (we will see). I see most of them range in price from $25-$60 which is not bad at all. I have been wanting to get a newly DD-WRT supported router for a few months now. I love messing with new hardware! Can't wait to test its throughput on my 1Gbps Internet connection.

EDIT: I assume from your post it can be flashed from the hidden update page, so no serial connection needed at all? This is great if so.

[hebeda]

yes, just upgrade from the hidden upgrade menue

This device was included in the 56721 release.

https://download1.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv2/downloads/betas/2024/06-08-2024-r56721/linksys-mr7350/

Wiki bits forthcoming.

EDIT:

Added to Supported Devices Wiki and Device Wiki for MR7350 WIP. I don't have this device nor a screenshot of the manual firmware upgrade page, so some information may need verification and feedback.

Is this the first ARM64 router to be supported or are there others? Also wondering if this is the reason (64bit) the firmware is so large in size.

Mine should arrive on Friday. Looking forward to testing it.

Also looking forward to the aforementioned Dynalink router support. Looks very worthy for only $80USD. I may have to order one of those too.

lexridge Dynalink DL-WRX36 has crazy good specs...may be even cheaper and better in some cases...there ware some reviews on faulty radios, but the one i recommended to my friend and he has...is not one of them...and very soon will be running DDWRT i suppose

[kernel-panic69]

Please keep this thread discussion focused on the MR7350, there may be a cleanup on aisle 9 forthcoming. Nothing personal, but not wanting to have a scatterbrained shitshow per usual modus operandi. My fault for responding to the MX4200 bits, which that device's initial builds were also released today.

MR7350 Wiki updated thanks to @hebeda for providing screenshot of firmware update page. No login to regular webUI required, I presume.

Just got this router delivered this afternoon. Tried flashing the latest DD-WRT to it, factory-to-ddwrt.bin r56820. I got an error of Entity too Large. So next I tried flashing factory-to-ddwrt.bin from the attachment in the first post (r56746) and it was successful. Next I flashed dd-wrt-mr7350-webflash-56820.bin and it was successful.

Switch Config tab is missing but was able to manually put in the URL to get to it (192.168.1.1/Vlan.asp). So I enabled it, rebooted and it was still missing. Manually went to it again and set it up like the default EA8500 switch config, rebooted and upon reboot it's still missing. Also, all the ports are showing 10000 instead of the correct 1000. I have zero CPUPorts for tagging. I am missing both the WAN and LAN CPUPorts. At least one should be there I would think.

swconfig also shows the ports as being 10GB.

[kernel-panic69]

If you read the wiki, the WAN is disabled by default, you must enable it (Auto-DHCP), save, and reboot before proceeding. Known issue.

[lexridge]

Yes, I did that. I am going to reset and start over with it.

[lexridge]

The good:
Very powerful router with every DD-WRT feature available included. Very NICE indeed!

The bad:
After many resets, first enabling DHCP Auto for the WAN port / save / reboot I still cannot get switch config tab to show up. I can manually access it but it has stuff missing and adding vlans doesn't seem to work at all, or the vlan numbers added are not being picked up. No WAN or LAN CPU tagging available either. Maybe this switch (QCA CPPE) doesn't support it? I see the ports are all assigned eth0-eth3 (LAN) and eth4 is the WAN. This is different than what I have seen on other Atheros routers, but this unit is 6 years newer than my others as well. Things change.

Tried to figure out how to get back to factory so I could start fresh, but it seems this will require uboot and this unit does not have a serial header installed. I will try to do this tomorrow. Not necessarily to get back to stock, but to at least have the ability to gather serial logs.

Without the ability to create vlans I cannot do any real testing. I will try doing it the old fashioned way soon with startup commands and see how that goes.

[lexridge]

No matter which LAN port I am plugged into (1-4), swconfig always reports I am plugged into Port 0.

I am plugged into Port 4 here:
