OpenWrt

No support found. Checked against OpenWrt's own Table of Hardware, which carries no qualifying row for this model. That is a weaker statement than "this router cannot run OpenWrt" and a much stronger one than silence.

  • Beamforming
    What is Beamforming?

    Table stakes37 of 79 listed here

    Shapes the signal toward where a device actually is, rather than radiating evenly in every direction like a bare bulb.

    Look at instead: where you physically put the router — placement beats every antenna trick on this list

  • DFS channels
    What is DFS channels?

    Depends on your setup18 of 79 listed here

    Extra 5 GHz channels shared with weather and military radar, which the router must abandon the moment it hears one.

  • 160 MHz channels
    What is 160 MHz channels?

    Table stakes47 of 79 listed here

    A double-width channel that roughly doubles throughput when the airwaves are clear enough to sustain it.

    Look at instead: whether the band has room for it — on 5 GHz that almost always means DFS
