GL.iNet GL-AR750
****************
Hardware summary
================
== GL.iNet GL-AR750
The GL-AR750 "Creta" travel router features:
=== Hardware summary
- QCA9531 @650Mhz SoC
- dual band wireless: IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac
- two 10/100Mbps LAN ports and one WAN
- 128MB DDR2 RAM
- 16MB NOR Flash
- supported in OpenWrt by the "ath79" SoC family
The GL-AR750 "Creta" travel router features:
The GL-AR750 has two distinct sets of wifi hardware. The 2.4GHz
radio is part of the QCA9531 SoC, i.e. it's on the same silicon as
the CPU, the Ethernet, the USB etc. The device is connected to the
host via `AHB <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Microcontroller_Bus_Architecture>`_ and it is
supported in Linux using the ath9k driver. 5GHz wifi
is provided by a QCA9887 PCIe (PCI embedded) WLAN chip,
supported by the ath10k driver.

As with many GL.iNet devices, the stock vendor firmware
is a fork of OpenWrt, meaning that the binary created by
:ref:`system-outputs-mtdimage` can be flashed using the
vendor web UI or the U-Boot emergency "unbrick" routine.
=== Installation
Flashing over an existing Liminix system is not possible while
that system is running, otherwise you'll be overwriting flash
partitions while they're in use - and that might not end well.
Configure the system with :ref:`levitate` if you need to
make it upgradable.
