Depends on the exact model number but if not OpenWRT possibly DD-wrt take a look here https://openwrt.org/toh/start

Have you had a look at the OpenWRT website? They have a database of supported hardware.

That model is not supported by the OpenWRT project.

Yes I have looked at 5 different 3rd party firmware and it looks like none of them support any of the ax routers... just thought I'd ask incase someone knew something different
Thanks Mark

You could try the OpenWRT forums you might find a developer willing to help port firmware for you especially if there's a high enough demand from others.

It's cool I just purchased it from Amazon and I'm probably going to send it back... it was supposed to be able to do bandwidth control per device but it can't it can only prioritize using qos.. not what I need
There's an idea

The problem is hardware support. If the drivers for the chipsets are not open source, OpenWRT and others simply don't have anything they can build on. What would be easier is to select a router that is supported, find one on Ebay or Amazon and then sell your existing router.

Ahh didn't realize it was broadcom sadly @markhodges78 your unlikely to get any 3rs party firmware for the device your probably better off as you said returning the router and looking at https://openwrt.org/toh/views/toh_available_16128_ax-wifi if it's ax your after

I guess no one has cracked the AX1800 open yet, but it has OpenWRT on it already. 12.09-rc1 (Attitude Adjustment)
Dead opkg update link >> https://downloads.openwrt.org/attit...del_brcm_bcm490x/generic/packages/Packages.gz
Busybox v1.19.4
Ash shell
And a screenshot for anyone wondering.
On that note, for any yokel who said that OpenWRT is not supported on the AX1800, then tell me what I'm looking at, Why you didn't do what I did, and why the heck are you claiming you know anything??
It may not be on their site, but its sure as heck supported!!
For those froggy enough, 115200-8-N-1-N
Pins, starting from the one closet to the USB port Rx,Tx,Gnd
--4th pin not used.
Updating to the latest version, now thats another story.

You know this is from march right, and things like OpenWRT support change over time?
For a first post, you've come in aggressive over nothing.

I'm going to respond because the comment Mr. Shadow account has posted seems clearly directed.
Notice the "rc1" in that version number? Yeah, that stands for "release candidate", otherwise commonly known as experimental software in testing. Furthermore...
...the reason that the link is dead and has NOT been replaced with something newer is very telling. This usually indicates that the dev team can not make it work. Why? Because the drivers for the hardware are NOT open source. As such the dev team can not make the software work properly.
No, it is not. It's been removed, therefore it is NOT supported.
You were saying?

Has anyone with a device that has the Trend Micro version of this HomeCare thing been able to determine whether it is actually submitting the address to Trend Micro?
I've updated the firmware on my AX50 and addresses of a large variety are still logged even with the function disabled. It even logs a complaint that a website I regularly visit, and is actually safe to be an "illegal content website"; which is literally hilarious to me
I know one thing for sure though is that I'm never giving TPLink a penny again
