OpenWRT on Buffalo WSR-1166DHP3 #1

Closed LastStarDust closed 5 days ago

LastStarDust commented 6 years ago

Hello! I would like to flash OpenWRT on a Buffalo WSR-1166DHP3 router. This is the only place on the internet where this model is mentioned in reference to OpenWRT. Could you please tell me if OpenWRT is compatible with this model and, in case, which firmware to flash?

I have found the following page on the OpenWRT site for the WSR-1166DHP model: https://openwrt.org/toh/buffalo/wsr-1166dhp?s[]=wsr&s[]=1166dhp But I am not sure if I can flash that firmware on my WSR-1166DHP3. Thank you Jojo

Hello, jojo.

Unfortunately, there is no firmware that can be used for WSR-1166DHP3 if I say from the conclusion.

Unlike WSR-1166DHP / DHP2, this model has Realtek MIPS SoC. This SoC is not currently supported by OpenWrt, so we cannot build firmware for this model.

Comparison:

WSR-1166DHP/DHP2 WSR-1166DHP3
SoC MediaTek MT7621A Realtek RTL8197F
OpenWrt supported not supported
target ramips (none)

I tried to add support for WSR-1166DHP3 before, but my knowledge of Linux Kernel and Embedded hardware was very lacking, so I gave up.

rtkmips/rtl8197f/wsr-1166dhp3/diffconfig is diffconfig prepared at that time, but I have forgotten to delete it.

Dear Inagaki-san, thank you very much for the quick answer. Do you know other open source firmwares other than openwrt that could be compatible with this router? Best Jojo

As far as I know, there seems to be no open source firmwares supporting this model...

Realtek publishes an SDK for RTL819x SoC based on old OpenWrt, but since the hardware configuration of WSR-1166DHP3 is not defined, we need to create the definition for it. RTL819X download | SourceForge.net

I closed this issue because there has been no update for many years.
