The router uses an Intel/Lantiq GRX350 SoC (System on Chip). OpenWrt lacks mainline support for this specific chipset, and the necessary drivers (specifically for the Wi-Fi 6 radio) often require proprietary "binary blobs" that Intel has not made open-source. Hardware Highlights: CPU: Intel Dual-Core. RAM: 256 MiB. Flash: 128 MiB.
