January 2026 (2026-01) monthly summary for DragonBluep/openwrt. Focused on expanding wireless hardware support and refining the OpenWrt IPQ/ath79 wireless stack. Key deliverable: added TP-Link TL-WA1201 v2 support to the IPQ firmware package, including an ipq-wifi entry and a calibration variant to improve wireless performance and compatibility. This work enhances device coverage, reduces customer support overhead, and positions the project for broader hardware adoption. While there were no explicit major bugs closed this month, the work yielded tangible performance and compatibility improvements across the WiFi stack. Technologies demonstrated include IPQ firmware integration, ath79 calibration variants, and OpenWrt packaging best practices.

Monthly summary for 2025-11: Delivered targeted platform expansion and stability improvements for the DragonBluep/openwrt repo. Netgear Orbi device family support and enhancements were extended to cover RBS20 and RBK40/RBx40 lines, including router/satellite separation, WAN port designation, and LED/backlight indicators, with packaging integration to streamline firmware builds. Linksys MX4200v1 MAC extraction enhancements were implemented by adopting the ascii-env driver at the ipq807x tier, improving MAC configuration reliability. A UBI partition unit-address correction was applied to Netgear LBR20 in the device tree to align with the correct starting offset, reducing configuration errors. These changes collectively broaden device compatibility, improve configuration accuracy, and reduce field support needs.

2025-10 Highlights: Expanded device support on IPQ40xx, improved Netgear LBR20 upgrade reliability and LED UX, consolidated OnHub LED configurations on IPQ806x, and cleaned up base-files to reduce duplication and sorting issues. These changes broaden device compatibility, enhance upgrade safety, and improve long-term maintainability across the OpenWrt platform.

September 2025 monthly summary for DragonBluep/openwrt focusing on expanding TP-Link Archer device support through IPQ-WiFi integration and calibration enhancements. Delivered new device entries and calibration variants across three Archer models to improve Wi-Fi reliability and hardware coverage, enabling faster value realization for customers and reducing post-release support needs.

Month: 2025-05. Delivered a targeted Wi-Fi stability fix for ASUS RT-AX52 in DragonBluep/openwrt by integrating the kmod-7915e module, addressing a known wireless bug and improving reliability for Mediatek Filogic-based devices. This work aligns with OpenWrt device support goals and enhances user experience for home/SMB deployments.

April 2025 monthly summary for DragonBluep/openwrt. Delivered OpenWrt integration for ASUS RT-AX52 (MT7981b), enabling flashing and management for this device. Implemented device-tree setup, network interfaces, LED definitions, and image building rules tailored to MT7981b hardware. The work is captured in commit 50d9ca6e5a04724e4263a348bdbe5ff4b1c43998 (mediatek: filogic: add support for ASUS RT-AX52).

March 2025 monthly summary for coolsnowwolf/immortalwrt: Focused bug fix improving the MediaTek filogic target device sorting to correct device placement in the build system; this reduces misclassification and improves CI build reliability. The change enhances device definition organization and maintainability, delivering a clearer, more accurate build pipeline for supported targets.

For November 2024, delivered device tree consolidation for Sophos AP15/AP15C in immortalwrt, unifying DTS by extracting common configurations into a shared include file and consolidating the reset button definition. This reduces code duplication, simplifies maintenance for the ath79 target, and improves consistency across AP devices. No major bugs closed this month; contributions focused on feature consolidation and groundwork for future enhancements.
