TP-Link EAP620 HD: OpenWrt Compatibility Report
The TP-Link EAP620 HD runs OpenWrt from snapshot builds only on the qualcommax/ipq807x target, so there is no stable release for it yet. Its WiFi 6 (AX) wireless on the ath11k driver rates good for open-source driver support (0.70/1.0), installation is rated moderate, and it is still sold new.
