Firmware

Unlike the TP-LINK TL-WA730RE v2, this device lacks a power button

and does have support for DD-WRT.

• Main thread on the DD-WRT Forum
• Ticket #2587 on the DD-WRT Trac regarding adding support for the device

I have managed to get OpenWrt working on this, all I needed to do was to flash

the firmware for the WA701ND v1 , as they are are identical hardware wise.

This does not include a WebUI, so you have to be connected to the internet in order

to get the WebUI. This is completely unofficial! George109 (talk)
