-This is almost fully supported by using the 23.05.x using the "observa-vh4032n" firmware sysupgrade. It must be loaded via the CFE [I used the serial uart, header is on the board..] The bootloader can be stopped at which point LAN access to 192.168.1.1 will open a page to upload firmware. Upload the above firmware (sysupgrade). There may be another way to interrupt the bootloader (recovery utility? not sure..) however the serial method works fine. +This is almost fully supported by using the 23.05.x using the "observa-vh4032n" firmware sysupgrade.

 A few of the LED's are incorrect. 2.4GHz works fine both as an AP or client/bridge. No luck on the 5GHz as per the standard broadcom headache. As this is an xDSL variant, I have not yet got the WAN ethernet port up and running (LAN x4 work fine), however it works well as either an AP to extend an existing LAN, or using WLAN as a client for a lan extender, or standalone client.  A few of the LED's are incorrect. 2.4GHz works fine both as an AP or client/bridge.

-The WAN port is married to a BCM54616 which I can't yet find on the bus. I suspect some time with the DTS would open it up as I believe it is on the MDIO@1 bus wherease the LAN switch0 is on MDIO@0. I may get around to building a DTS and adding the device if I find some time, but for most folks looking to make this device useful again, the method above works. +The WAN port is married to a BCM54616 which I can't yet find on the bus.
