 MR> Let's check http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-wdr7500:

 MR> For the Archer C7 v1.x and WDR7500 v2.x, the 5GHz 802.11a/n/ac
 MR> functionality is not supported, and likely will never be, since support
 MR> for the AR1A (v1) variant of QCA9880 chip is not included in the open
 MR> source ath10k driver. The Archer C7 v2.x uses the BR4A (v2) variant which
 MR> is supported in ath10k.

Yes, that is what I was referring to.  the 4300 was the other unit I was
looking at.  I suppose I should have done a little more research then what I
did. Too late now

 MR> The 5GHz module seems to be a Mini PCIe. So you could replace it with
 MR> something supported, but would have to add the driver manually, I assume.
 MR> If that's too much hassle, the TL-WDR4300 (about EUR 50) is fully
 MR> supported and got also dual band.
