Quick Mesh Project

Supported devices

(May be synced with firmware targets: https://dev.qmp.cat/projects/qmpfw/repository/revisions/master/entry/targets.mk)

qMp is based on LEDE/OpenWrt, so the rule of thumb is that devices supported by LEDE/OpenWrt are very likely to be supported by qMp (at least to some extent). The general requirements for a device to run a minimalistic qMp node are:

• Compatibility with LEDE/OpenWrt
• 8 MB flash memory¹
• 64 MB RAM memory²

¹: Some devices with 4 MB flash memory were supported by qMp up to version Clearance 3.2.1. From version Macondo 4.0 on,  these devices might as well be supported, but may not have a full management web interface included.

²: Devices with 32 MB RAM might work as well, but performance could be sub-optimal.

qMp is Free Software so, if it doesn't perfectly suit your needs, you can modify it and send us your patches so that we can apply them. You can find more information in this article on how to add a new device (wiki).

Tested devices

There are many devices known to work with qMp, but only some of them have been thoroughly tested. Ubiquiti M2, M5, RouterStation and RouterStation Pro products, Alix boards and several TP-Link devices have provided good results, but we encourage you to try qMp on other hardwares and send us feedback.

Others

• In general, every device supported by OpenWrt with 4 MB+ flash and 32 MB+ RAM can work with qMp.

Known issues

• The upgrade tool (qmpcontrol upgrade) bundled with qMp is not able to upgrade x86/Alix machines with qMp 3.0.x or older, since the configuration is not kept after flashing.
• 802.11ac radio on D-Link DIR-810L devices is not supported.
