I like the idea too, but it would be much easier if it were a wiki or some kind of editable page.
I contribute to openwrt's wiki every time when I find out info on a new device.

I understand the content from libremesh is in github, but it is a lot more bureaucratic to edit the html, push it, wait for merge...

So, dear libremesh site managers, do you think we can have a wiki or some open content solution?

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!
