Overview
Wi-Fi Certified : WFA55415 (as of 06/30/2014)
- The manufacturer stated in FCC test report is Compal (Compal Networking
- [KunShan]), a part of Arcadyan - same manuf. noted for ASUS RT-AC56U
- (WG9117GAC). See also ASUS EA-AC87 (Arcadyan WA5005AAC44-ASU)..
- The 2.4GHz radio is implemented with BCM4360, connected via PCIe to BCM4709.
- The 5GHz radio is contained w/ independent Quantenna chipset (QT3840BC+QT2518B),
- (QSR1000, ARC 700 core), which is connected in some fashion (RGMII) to BCM4709.

- "RT-AC87U REV 1.50" board shown, an Arcadyan typical label is found on board noted
- as being BCM4709 (BCM4709A0) based. ARC 700 family core used w/ Quantenna SoC,
- which seems to have also been used with at least some older Quantenna SoC's.
- SoC's/radios are segmented - 2.4 GHz is handled on BCM4360 directly connected
- to the BCM4709, while 5 GHz is handled on the independent Quantenna SoC.
- The Quantenna firmware is contained within the main Flash and uploaded at boot.

Flashing
NOTE: During configuration or flashing a device, the only things that should be hooked to the device is the computer and power. |
Flashing dd-wrt
Supported by dd-wrt as of = rt-ac87u build 25309 20141111
Please insert instructions here
Flashing OpenWrt
Devices with Broadcom WiFi chipsets have limited OpenWrt supportability (due to limited FLOSS driver availability for Broadcom chips). Consider this when choosing a device to buy, or when deciding to flash OpenWrt on your device because it is listed as supported. See Broadcom WiFi for details. |
