Good Afternoon,
My friends and I are working on a project pertaining to wifi channel switching based on interference. We purchased the Netgear WNDR3400v3 router as a cheap testing platform. We successfully installed Openwrt onto the router but inside of ect/config/ there is no wireless configuration file. We have searched this site for about a week and cant find a list of devices that support wireless. Can anyone give us advice.
Thanks
Filter yourself for wifi as desired:

Avoid Broadcom chips as they have poor or no open-source support. Such is the case with the WNDR 3400, all three versions.
Thanks for the advice. I recently read the purchasing guide and it says to stay away from those as well. I had searched the hardware link before hand. We have the v3, which should have wireless capabilities. We will most likely try and re-flash the firmware and if there still isn't ect/config/wireless, we will purchase a better router without the Broadcom drivers.
Hmm, I had to install the wifi driver separatly.
Check the wiki page of your device what wifi chip your router has, then go to the Wireless owerview wiki page
https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/wireless.overview
And check the driver section. Maybe you just need to install "kmod-b43" to get wifi working
opkg install kmod-b43If you got wifi working but you also need wpa security you also need the packag "wpad-mini"
for more details see the config wifi encryption page:
