On Networks N150R: OpenWrt Compatibility Report
The On Networks N150R was supported by OpenWrt from 14.07 on the ar71xx/tiny target, but its last supported release has reached end of life. Its WiFi 4 (N) wireless on the ath9k driver rates fair for open-source driver support (0.50/1.0), installation is rated easy, and we have no current US retail listing for it.
