Overview
The TP-LINK Archer C6 v2.x is likely identical. The Firmware Emulator for the A6 still calls itself a C6 in some places. The FCC Radio Test Report documents call the C6 the series model and the A6 the test model.

OpenWrt Target: ath79
OpenWrt Subtarget: generic
OpenWrt Package architecture: mips_24kc
Support started version: 21.02.0
Current supported version: 24.10.2
WLAN Comment:
5GHz support is buggy/broken as of OpenWrt 24.10.0
Comment:
The A6 v2 and C6 v2 are identical, except for the name. Anything that works for the C6 v2 will also work for the A6 v2, which is why the "device page" link leads to the C6 v2 page. See it for more info.
