Archer Ax10 Custom Firmware • Full

Note: The Archer AX10 v2 uses a different chipset (MediaTek) and may have different options; this report focuses on v1 (Qualcomm IPQ0509). The TP-Link Archer AX10 (v1) is a budget Wi-Fi 6 router based on the Qualcomm IPQ0509 SoC. Unlike many older TP-Link devices, it is not compatible with OpenWrt, DD‑WRT, or FreshTomato as of 2026. The only viable custom firmware option is PandoraBox (limited, stale) or using Debian/Entware via the OEM firmware’s jailbreak. No mature, full-featured custom firmware exists. 2.
