Based on Gio's response, I'll cross the C60 off my list.

How about the C50?

Sounds like it requires TFTP flashing, not flashing from the stock GUI:

Is this correct?

WLAN Hardware:
v1: MediaTek MT7620A, MediaTek MT7612EN (OpenWrt Tech data)
        - $30 in Ecuador
v2: Qualcomm Atheros QCA9557, Qualcomm Atheros QCA9882 (wikidevi)
v3: MediaTek MT7628AN, MediaTek MT7612E (OpenWrt Tech data)
        - $50 in Ecuador
v4: MediaTek MT7628A, MediaTek MT7612E (wikidevi)
        - $40 in Ecuador

Has this been fixed? And/or does this matter? (I don't know what the
different modes are used for... maybe that sort of explanation could go
in the LibreMesh documentation.) Reading old threads, it seems that
adhoc mode has been deprecated or is no longer used by default in
LibreMesh since 17.01.
