 The DIR-810L Wireless AC750 Dual-Band Router is based on the MT7620A SoC. It has two wireless radios, a 802.11bgn one (SoC-integrated) and a 802.11ac one (on-board). The DIR-810L Wireless AC750 Dual-Band Router is based on the MT7620A SoC.

 +Later router revisions (e.g. B1 and F/W 2.03b02) don't have an open bootloader, and there is also no factory image available.
  
-Later versions of this router (bought mine in 02/16) with Rev. B1 and F/W 2.03b02 don't have an open bootloader and there is also no factory image for this router. +To create a factory image with Linux, the correct signature needs to be appended to the end of the ''sysupgrade'' file with a tool found in the GPL toolchain download from D-Link.

-In order to build one, the correct signature needs to be appended to the end of the ''sysupgrade'' file with a tool found in the GPL toolchain download from D-Link. +

-These are the necessary steps:+
  
-  - Download SDK from http://tsd.dlink.com.tw/GPL.asp that corresponds to your hardware version. The firmware version shouldn't matter as the tool should be the same for all versions +These are the necessary steps in Linux (for Windows see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install): 
-  - extract the tarball in the ''source'' subdirectory +  - Download the SDK by searching for ''810L'' at https://tsd.dlink.com.tw/dlist?OS=GPL using the applicable hardware version. Firmware version shouldn't matter as the tool should be the same for all versions 
-  - find the tool ''ncc_att_hwid'' (should be in ''source/user/wolf/cameo/ncc/hostTools''+  - extract the tarball in the ''src'' subdirectory 
-  - Download the ''sysupgrade'' image for the DIR-810L +  - extract the ''ncc_att_hwid'' tool (in ''source/user/wolf/cameo/ncc/hostTools/''to /tmp 
-  - modify it like so: ''./ncc_att_hwid -f /tmp/openwrt-15.05-ramips-mt7620-dir-810l-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin -m "DIR-810L-H "B1-r "WW-c "1.0-F "2.03b02-a''+  - Download the DIR-810L ''sysupgrade'' image to /tmp 
 +  - modify the image e.g.: ''./ncc_att_hwid -f /tmp/{firmware} -m DIR-810L -H B1 -r WW -c 1.0 -F 2.03b02 -a'
 +  - ...where {firmware} is the downloaded sysupgrade.bin e.g. openwrt-22.03.5-ramips-mt7620-dir-810l-sysupgrade.bin 
 +  - change the '-r {region}' as needed e.g. '-r US'
  
-Recovery mode wouldn't accept it but the normal factory web interface does.+A previous note (using Chaos Calmer) said "Recovery mode wouldn't accept it but the normal factory web interface does" However, the above worked fine in Recovery mode with a snapshot build (DD-WRT was the active firmware).  Note: '-F 2.04b01' was used as it was the latest OEM firmware installed, but not sure if that matters.
