OpenWrt Target: ramips
OpenWrt Subtarget: mt76x8
OpenWrt Package architecture: mipsel_24kc
Support started version: 19.07.0
Current supported version: 24.10.2
WLAN Comment:
2x2:2 MIMO both channels
Install Comment:
Jan 2020: See device page and use instructions for Archer C50 v4 to create install image for C50 v5 (US version).
Comment:
Archer A5 is hardwarewise identical to Archer C50 acc. FCC documentation. Do NOT install squashfs-sysupgrade image via TPlink web UI or TFTP. It will brick router!
