Techdata: ASUS RT-AC5300

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.

Comments:
For units with locked/old CFE: flash the oldest ASUS firmware available, run nvram set secret_code=12345678; nvram set first_boot=1; nvram commit, then flash OpenWrt via CFE recovery, or—if CFE rejects the image—rename it to firmware.trx, serve it via TFTP, and flash using http://192.168.1.1/do.htm?cmd=flash+-noheader+192.168.1.2:firmware.trx+flash0.trx.
