Hello, Johannes Yes, it looks exactly like that. I can't say that is for sure a V2, however. That said, a search of the internet shows up with V1 (unsupported wifi chip for one band), V2, and V3.
According to Wikidev, the V2 and V3 look almost identical, perhaps losing the antenna connectors? https://wikidevi.com/wiki/TP-LINK_Archer_C7_v2.x https://wikidevi.com/wiki/TP-LINK_Archer_C7_v3.x Additionaly, there is a note on the forum here that seems to indicate V3 should be supported by V2 image (although no additional followup): https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=61574 I'd imagine you can turn off wifi the same way as with any other OpenWRT router. I do not know if or how much this affects power consuption. I have not measured power consumption, Sorry. If i think of it this week, perhaps i'll order a new C7 and see what version i get.. and if v3 do a test run to help verify that it does work. take care Camden On Wed, May 25, 2016 at 1:34 AM, Johannes Kastl <[email protected]> wrote: > Dear Camden, > > On 24.05.16 23:44 camden lindsay wrote: >> Hello- >> I use and Archer C7 V2 as an access point.
