Mikrotik hAP ax3 and QRT 5 ac
My friend asked me to flash two Mikrotik nodes he purchased. After I set things up to flash, I looked carefully at the name plates and realized he did not order the hAP ac3 or the QRT 5 as he desired. Will either of these devices flash the currently listed ac3 and QRT5 builds??

Thanks,
Walter, kd7dny

Post then full product name, please.
Hi, Walter:

http://downloads.arednmesh.org/firmware/html/SUPPORTED_DEVICES.md
QRT 5 ac == RB911G-5HPnD-QRT ?. If true, yes.

Mikrotik hAP ax3: Before a device can be modified for AREDN, it must be OpenWRT capable.

Until you see it listed in the link above,
it will not be listed here. :-|

Hi Chuck,

I don't see the hAP AX3 listed in the OpenWRT list but I do see several of the GL.iNet AX models listed for OpenWRT but are not listed in the AREDN supported list.  For example, the Beryl GL - MT1300 is supported but the Beryl AX GL-MT3000 is not.  Is there something specific about AX that is not compatible with AREDN FW or is it just not tested yet?

"Is there something specific about AX that is not compatible with AREDN FW or is it just not tested yet?"

I have no idea.
I can guess on 2 other criteria that are important to the developers:
The wireless chipset:
a. Must be able to be moved into the USA Amateur Radio band; 5650<>5925 MHz.
b. Lower bandwidths must be supported. This may be related to the ability to link over longer distances.

I suggest that you address your request more openly.
Are you open to responses from folks not named 'Chuck' ?

Of course, I was just replying to you because you made the comment "until you see it listed (in the OpenWRT link) above, you won't see it listed here (AREDN) so I thought you might know.  I thought I found a reference to AX testing on a previous search but I was unable to find anything this morning.
