What might be the password for ssh on factory firmware?

I tried this on TP-Link TL-MR6400 V5 but had no success, because of insufficient drive space to install the package "modemmanager".

So here are my steps using QMI and the simple LuCI configuration interface.

Hi, can you help me to add 2 packages iptables-mod-ipopt & kmod-ipt-ipopt to openwrt firmware? Your firmware builds very well but I can't install the above 2 packages, it's not compatible
Thank you very much!

Hi I am using this MR6400 openwrt firmware on my MR400 router. But the wifi chip can only work under 300Mbps rate, the only difference between MR6400 and MR400 is that MR400 has a AC1200 Mbps wifi chip. So how can I patch a driver module or build a firmware that supports AC1200 wifi chip? Or someone know how to do that then help me?
