At the moment there is a beta running on openwrt aboout support for the MR7500.
Earlier a topic about the MR7500 was closed due to a misunderstanding about the mr7350 a different router!

i started making a blind port which usually works. but if not serial logs are required and for 6ghz support i really need the device in my hand. there are too many things to consider which i cannot resolve in a blind way. i will post a image here once the build is done. _________________ "So you tried to use the computer and it started smoking?

I saw one of these on closeout today at Walmart for $59. I will go back tomorrow morning and if it's still there I'll pick it up and provide you with serial logs.
Also just found this which may be helpful:

Not available on Amazon.de. It is available on Amazon.com for ~$160, vs the $300+ (300 Euro) I was told via email. Biggest problem with US-procured devices is due to customs as of late.

I went back this morning to buy it and it was gone, damnit! I believe it was a return which is why it was so cheap. I will look into getting one from ebay. There are many there for under $80.
I wasn't sure if that link was helpful or not. Figured it may provide some kernel module clues if nothing else. _________________ - Linksys EA8500: I-Gateway, WAP/VAP 5ghz only. Features: WDS-AP, VLANs, Samba, WG, Entware - r59429

the support is more or less easy. just 6 ghz is more complicated since i dont have a qca9000 card yet which supports it. i ordered this device for that overpriced money (this device should have more than 512mb ram with 3 wifi cards for instance). i'm just waiting now for feedback on the posted image _________________ "So you tried to use the computer and it started smoking?

I will gladly test this asap, but like you I am still awaiting a MR7500 to arrive. _________________ - Linksys EA8500: I-Gateway, WAP/VAP 5ghz only. Features: WDS-AP, VLANs, Samba, WG, Entware - r59429
