 I realize that you are in Canada and its a off brand board but you
 never know, the OEM might have used the same FCC number when they
 cloned the board...

  ah, just noticed that /proc/cpuinfo identifies this as a HiWiFi JI2
Board, whatever the heck that is. google is not being particularly
helpful.

p.s. just for the heck of it, i started a wiki page and recorded a

Looking at the image posted earlier, it has several approval
markings, so that I wouldn't expect this to be a development board
(you don't spend time and money on approvals for development
boards). Isn't this just the internals of the Pandora's Hope router
(Pro version) marketed by http://www.cleanrouter.com/? The
screenshots from the manual on their site seem to confirm that it is
running some version of OpenWRT.


  i'm looking at this page:

http://www.cleanrouter.com/home/product

and the processor is shown as an atheros AR7161, though. also, the
pandoras hope router apparently has 4 wired ports, and this board has
only two. at the risk of abusing this mailing list a bit more, i took
a pic of the top of the board and attached it, if that helps.


Nevermind my babbling. You probably have a Baidu PandoraBox device in  
your hands.

2014-10-08 Thread Robert P. J. Day

  at this point, i have to run off for the day where i will be unable
to reply to emails, but i'll still be able to read this list. given
that i did a build and have, among other things, a squashfs image
named:

openwrt-ramips-mt7620a-mt7620a_mt7610e-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin

i'm tempted to simply reflash this board and take my chances. feel
free to give me any other advice. and thanks muchly for the info so
far. as a reminder, i documented a bunch of board info here:

http://www.crashcourse.ca/wiki/index.php/OpenWrt_Pandora

if there's any other info that would be useful to add to that page,
let me know and i can do that.

maybe you are looking at the router at link [1].  it has 802.11ac
capability but i guess padora firmware uses wireless drivers from ralink,
not the mac80211 based one.

for your information, j2 is for pinyin of 极贰 in Chinese.  we already have
j1 supported in opnewrt trunk.  well, the official name for that board is
hiwifi hc6361 [2].  they also have j1s which is mt7620a based without 5ghz
capability.

  i can't even get to the page in [1], and the router in [2] is listed
as based on AR9331, not MT7620A, so i'm fairly sure that can't be it.
i'll keep trying the first link.

Yes, HC6361 is AR9331 based.  It is said that HiWiFi switched to
MediaTek chips because of supply problems with Qualcomm Atheros.
Well, surely that is another story.  HC5661 is the board name for J1S,
and HC5761 for J2.  They are 3 different routers by HiWiFi.  The
latter two use MT7620A with HC5761 having 5GHz available.
