Trying to understand if the C50 or C60 has better LibreMesh support:
Looking at:
https://openwrt.org/toh/hwdata/tp-link/tp-link_archer_c60_v1
- gluon support broken, WiFi 5 GHz unsupported, ath10k
https://openwrt.org/toh/hwdata/tp-link/tp-link_archer_c60_v2
- ath10k
https://openwrt.org/toh/hwdata/tp-link/tp-link_archer_c50_v1
- MT7612EN
https://openwrt.org/toh/hwdata/tp-link/tp-link_archer_c50_v3
- MT7612E
What is Gluon support? Does it matter?
I've seen comments on this list that ath10k is not well supported and
might never be. Does this mean the Archer C60 doesn't work well with
LibreMesh?
Previously, Daniel Golle wrote that the chipset for the Archer C20,
MT7610E, doesn't work with any FOSS driver. Based on the tech page, it
seems that there is FOSS driver support for the MT7612E and EN, correct?
cheers,
Patricio

Gluon is yet another mesh tailored firmware, I think that info should not stay
in openwrt wiki, same as "LibreMesh support" wouldn't belong there because
is
out of scope

I remember someone maybe Gui making it work, but it wasn't out of the box so i
would not suggest to attempt to use ath10k based devices, both on ethical (it
need binary blobs to work) and on pragmatic concerns (it probably won't work
out of the box and most probably even after custon configuration won't have
good behaviour/performances)
Cheers!

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

Right now my favorite is archer c50 v1. It won't
work with adhoc but
mesh mode seems to be fine, and costs less than 40 USD here, I haven't
been able to test it in production, but perhaps if more people get one
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.

we managed to install lime in the c50 v1, but was always instable. same
thing happens to the xiaomi r3 (not the r3g, which seems great). i guess we
can blame the mt7620a. i'll ask around if anyone else here in brazil tried
the other versions of the c50

So, the latest installation done here used the tplink C5 v1.2 . It is
working great.
