Hi Luke,
ask them if they can get the firmware source for the WIFI module on those gigabit WIFI integrated routers.
that's rather not possible as the spreading was done through a public announcement on a web site with tens of thousands of visitors daily. I can only change the announcement and read comments. I can't somehow "ask" them for an alternative.
no problem - you know what i'm referring to, at least.
Anyway, do you know about any successor of QCA9531 ?
i don't... but if it's from atheros it's almost certainly likely to have ath10k... which will no longer be libre. we've had a hard enough time even *finding* libre-compatible routers, let alone gigabit ones.
I know about decent amount of deployments (matching the size, capabilities, and interfaces of such a "better" SOHO router) where 100Mbit is fine, but I know about way more deployments where 1Gbit is the point which separates the wheat from the chuff.
*sigh* yeahh i knoww....
