As an update: the My Net N600 / N750 boards have been ported to ath79
(awaiting the merger of this PR and then the 21.02.2 OpenWrt service
release), in case anyone has any and wants to put them back to use.

Just FYI: These guys haven't yet been ported to ath79 OpenWrt, based on
https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/21.02.0-rc4/targets/ath79/generic/
That means that they are not going to receive security updates, among other things. Well,
not exactly true -- mips24_kc packages will still continue working, though newer kernel
modules will no longer be compiled, meaning you don't get the benefit of the updates
and improvements that e.g. kmod-ath9k is still getting to this day.
If you need cheap routers, I have a stockpile of Meraki MR16's (2.4GHz + 5GHz, 2x2)
-- which share cases with the MR12 (2.4 only), MR62 (2.4 outdoor) and MR66 (2.4+5GHz
outdoor) -- which accept PoE, were already ported to the ath79 target, and are deployed
extensively at Newport Wireless Mesh. I'm happy shipping them out, flashed, for the
cost of my labor to anyone who is interested in also owning a small portion of a
stockpile. (I paid something like $3 a pop after shipping and taxes, so I can definitely
beat whatever price you can find for stock-OpenWrt-friendly devices.)
