This connects apparently successfully to a WNDR3800 running CeroWRT with standard dhcp/dhcpv6 configuration on ge00 I have yet to test all situations in which ipv6 connectivity between the two devices might be lost. The impetus for doing this was to move away from a very stable bridged device and pppoe authetication on the WNDR3800, in the hope that the henet tunnel endpoint, moved to the WBMR-HP-G300H, might update cleanly with ipv4 address changes from the ISP. This has not happened. I run a cron job to reauthenticate the tunnel at intervals: the ISP-provided ipv4 address may change 3 times a day. The Buffalo WBMR-HP-G300H has an AR9 series SoC, with 64MB RAM and 32 MB flash. It only has 2.4 GHz wireless, which I have disabled. It supports ADSL protocols only. In Europe, it is roughly twice the price of the TP-Link TD-W8970, which has an VR9 chip, 64MB RAM, 8MB flash and 2.4 Hz wireless only. However, the Buffalo can be flashed via dd-wrt without adding a serial port, necessary to install OpenWRT on a TD-W8970 or any other device, including all offering VDSL protocol connectivity. Even after downloading the package repository, it took 5 attempts to install cleanly offline. The device behaves similarly to the TD-W8970 with TP-Link firmware in terms of line stability. The ISP DSLAM reports itself as Infineon. The wiki lists 2 possible flash layouts: this device had a third one. The OpenWRT image comes with annex b firmware installed. This must be removed as an initial step for the installation to succeed. Apart from these two devices, the BT HomeHub 2b or ECI OpenReach \r version1 CPE fibre box are OpenWRT installation candidates. The Buffalo device -now 4 years old- is the only one with 32MB flash. None have 5 GHz wireless.
