JDCloud RE-CS-02 (Athena): OpenWrt Compatibility Report
The JDCloud RE-CS-02 (Athena) runs OpenWrt from snapshot builds only on the qualcommax/ipq60xx target, so there is no stable release for it yet. Its WiFi 6E wireless on the ath11k driver rates good for open-source driver support (0.70/1.0), installation is rated moderate, and we have no current US retail listing for it.

Installing OpenWrt on the RE-CS-02 (Athena)
