Dear Nico Am I correct to select LibreCMC for this router? Can I reasonably expect this router to be supported in the future within the project, or does it have some red flags going for it?
Answer: I have flashed librecmc v1.3.2 3 month ago, and until know i had no problem with it. my wdr4300 is version 1.7 and i downloaded from http://downloads.librecmc.org/snapshots/v1.3.2/ar71xx/; i downloaded generic and luci versions, but i flashed the luci version only. I have another router from TP-LINK( wr2543nd ) and i flashed librecmc 1.3.2 too, it worked too, but i did not tested the router fully. In my opinion you should try if you want total freedom, download the firmware builded and have a try. And secondly, would I have to build a custom version of LibreCMC to run on the WDR4300, or could I just use say the image of the WR1043ND? Answer: No, you can download from: http://downloads.librecmc.org/snapshots/v1.3.2/ar71xx/ ( this link is for wdr4300, wr2543nd and others ). You should download v1.3.2 if you want. And lastly, do recommended models like the WR1043ND have some positive points going for it with respect to the WDR4300? I have seen one a couple of weeks ago in the second-hand circuit, but it seems to be quite rare, thus resulting in a long duration to source 6 more routers. Answer: I recommend: wdr4300 and wr2543nd because i have both, i flashed librecmc v1.3.2 on both, and i can confirm router aparently works normal, i dont tested these routers fully, but it is working. Note that FAILSAFE works on both.
