Specification:
SoC: MediaTek MT7628AN
RAM: 64MiB
Flash: 8MiB
Wifi:
- 2.4GHz: MT7628AN
- 5GHz: MT7612EN
LAN: 1x 10/100 Mbps
Flash instructions:
Flash factory image through stock firmware WEB UI.
Back to stock is possible by using TFTP and stripping down the Firmware
provided by TP-Link to a initramfs.
The flash space between 0x650000 and 0x7f0000
is blank in the stock firmware so I left it out as well.
TP-Link RE200 v2 is a wireless range extender with Ethernet and 2.4G and 5G
WiFi with internal antennas. It's based on MediaTek MT7628AN+MT7610EN.

Installation
------------
Web Interface
-------------
It is possible to upgrade to OpenWrt via the web interface. Simply flash
the -factory.bin from OEM. In contrast to a stock firmware, this will not
overwrite U-Boot.
Specifications:
- CPU: MediaTek MT7628AN (580MHz)
- Flash: 16MB
- RAM: 64MB DDR2
- 2.4 GHz: IEEE 802.11b/g/n with Integrated LNA and PA
- Antennas: 4x external single band antennas
- WAN: 1x 10/100M
- LAN: 2x 10/100M
- LEDs: 2x yellow/blue. Programmable (labelled as power on case)
- Non-programmable (shows WAN activity)
- Button: Reset
How to install:
1- Use OpenWRTInvasion to gain telnet and ftp access.
2- Push openwrt firmware to /tmp/ using ftp.
3- Connect to router using telnet. (IP: 192.168.31.1 -
Username: root - No password)
4- Use command "mtd -r write /tmp/firmware.bin OS1" to flash into
the router..
5- It takes around 2 minutes. After that router will restart itself
to OpenWrt.
This backports the TP-Link Archer C50 v4.
We are dropping the following upstream commits. They add support for the
TP-Link recovery-flag which enabled the web-recovery. As they are not
needed for the router to work, we drop them for now.
28cd2ca base-files: sysupgrade: support additional mtd options
1e06482 mtd: add logic for TP-Link ramips recovery magic
This commit removes the broken flag from all devices in the mt76x8
subtarget.
The stability of the mt76 driver for the mt7628 and mt7612 has greatly
improved in the last half-year. It might be still behind ath9k and
ath10k but it is suitable for daily use.
This affects the following devices:
- GL.iNet MT300N v2
- TP-Link Archer C50 v3
- TP-Link TL-WR841 v13
