Hello Rday, you might check with the folks at asiarf.com. We buy and use several MT7620A and N routers from them. They all run CC fine. Note that the DTS files for their eval boards are supported under the latest CC trunk. Also note that you may need to modify the stock DTS files to support additional IO functionality. Good luck. --luis On 11/21/14 8:27 AM, Robert P. J.
