The conversation in this thread has documented some useful knowledge. Is 
there a place to compile this information in a list of compatible devices?
I see the mostly empty list at:
http://libremesh.org/docs/hardware/
Such a list could be part of a guide about how to choose a device, or 
how to guess whether a device might work or is definitely unsupported.
For example:
"Look up the device on the OpenWRT Table of Hardware, and make sure that 
the System-on-a-Chip SOC is one of the following: blah, blah, or blah. 
If the SoC is from a different manufacturer, it almost definitely won't 
work. If it's a different model from manufacturer blah, then maybe it'll 
work."
"If the Flash/MB is 2mb, then putting LibreMesh on it will be difficult 
or impossible. If it has 4mb, then a lightweight version of LibreMesh 
can run well on it. If it has 8mb or more, then it can handle a full 
version of LibreMesh."
This way I can look on MercadoLibre here in Ecuador, see that there are 
TPLink 841n and 841hp but not 842, there are 940n, and one 1043n, and 
after asking the seller to send me a photo showing the version number of 
the router, I can know whether LM will probably run or definitely not.

  Hi Everyone,
 
 The last LibreMesh release (I don't remember if it was announced or
 not, but it is here :) ) brings support for 11s and many other things.
 
 I was wondering... now that the wdr3500/3600/4300 devices are no longer
 accessible... which ones can we use?
 
 Now there are a lot of devices with the MTK7601, and others with
 QCA6174.
 
 I've tried some Xiaomi device that comes with the MTK7601
 processor+radios and it works... but don't have knowledge about
 performance and robustness... and if there are any dual radio with
 weather enclosure around.
 
 Thanks!
