The Buffalo WZR-HP-AG300H definitely works on 12.09 and newer trunk builds. Not sure of current trunk, but in the next few days can try a build and push to my spare router.
I flashed via tftp initially, not sure about other methods. My semi-smart switch was too slow to pick up the link state change / arp propogation- but the environment worked if i was plugged directly into a cheap switch and/or into the switch that is part of another router. To your question of upgrades; 1. the tftp flash is built into the bootloader, which OpenWRT does not overwrite. IT is the first bit of code that is run by the router before it kicks off to the kernel 2. If upgrading using LUCI i believe you use the 'sysupgrade' image, same as if you were using the command line utility 'sysupgrade' http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/generic.sysupgrade hope this helps On Wed, Jan 1, 2014 at 5:38 PM, Rick Green <[email protected]> wrote: > Today, I attempted to load openwrt on the above hardware, using the > factory firmware flash method, according to the instructions on the > hardware-specific page.
