TP-Link TL-7DR7230: OpenWrt Compatibility Report
The TP-Link TL-7DR7230 runs OpenWrt from snapshot builds only on the mediatek/filogic target, so there is no stable release for it yet. Its WiFi 7 (BE) wireless on the mt76 driver rates excellent for open-source driver support (0.95/1.0), installation is rated moderate, and we have no current US retail listing for it.

Installing OpenWrt on the TL-7DR7230
