WrtXtend

Tested

Supported devices

WrtXtend runs on OpenWrt 25.12 or later. Every device needs Wi-Fi that can run an 802.11s mesh and several Wi-Fi networks on the same radio.

Recommended, tested

We tested these ourselves. Pick one if you just want it to work.

Planned

QualcommPlanned

Qualcomm devices (ath11k), for example Dynalink DL-WRX36 or Linksys MX4200 v1. Support is planned but not tested. Try one only if you're happy to troubleshoot.

Other devices

Check your device

Run these on OpenWrt. You need mesh point on every radio, and an interface combination with AP and mesh point and a total of 3 or more.

$ iw list | grep -E '^Wiphy|Band [12]:'       # Band 1 = 2.4 GHz, Band 2 = 5 GHz
$ iw list | grep -E '^Wiphy|\* mesh point$'   # * mesh point under every Wiphy
$ iw list | grep -A2 'interface combinations' # AP and mesh point, total >= 3
$ grep MemTotal /proc/meminfo                 # 120000 kB or more

Dual-band recommended · at least 16 MB flash and 128 MB RAM · an OpenWrt 25.12 image

Unsupported

Not supported

Devices without mesh support in their Wi-Fi driver (Broadcom, most Realtek), with too little memory, or without an OpenWrt 25.12 image.
