Hardware Highlights
Installation
1. Grab the OpenWrt initramfs, rename it to ap3715.bin. Place it in the root directory of a TFTP server and serve it at `192.168.1.66/24`.
2. Connect to the serial port and boot the AP. Stop autoboot in U-Boot by pressing Enter when prompted. Credentials are identical to the one in the APs interface. By default it is admin / new2day.
3. Alter the bootcmd in U-Boot:
setenv ramboot_openwrt "setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1; setenv serverip 192.168.1.66; tftpboot 0x2000000 ap3715.bin; bootm"
setenv boot_openwrt "sf probe 0; sf read 0x2000000 0x140000 0x1000000; bootm 0x2000000"
setenv bootcmd "run boot_openwrt"
saveenv
4. Boot the initramfs image
run ramboot_openwrt
5. Transfer the OpenWrt sysupgrade image to the AP using SCP. Install using sysupgrade.
sysupgrade -n <path-to-sysupgrade.bin>

Backup and restore OEM firmware
The manufacturer does not provide a flashable image. To reinstall the OEM firmware, one has to flash a previous backup of the router back on its flash.
Backup
To create such a backup, you can follow the generic backup instructions for a full mtd backup.
This guide worked well: Create full MTD backup
Upgrading OpenWrt
These are generic instructions. Update with your router's specifics.
LuCI Web Upgrade Process
- Browse to
http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/luci/mini/system/upgrade/LuCI Upgrade URL - Upload image file for sysupgrade to LuCI
- Wait for reboot
Terminal Upgrade Process
If you don't have a GUI (LuCI) available, you can alternatively upgrade via the command line. There are two command line methods for upgrading:
sysupgrademtd
Note: It is important that you put the firmware image into the ramdisk (/tmp) before you start flashing.
sysupgrade
- Login as root via SSH on 192.168.1.1, then enter the following commands:
cd /tmp wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/XXX/xxx.abc sysupgrade /tmp/xxx.abc
mtd
If sysupgrade does not support this router, use mtd.
- Login as root via SSH on 192.168.1.1, then enter the following commands:
cd /tmp wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/XXX/xxx.abc mtd write /tmp/xxx.abc linux && reboot

Network interfaces
The default network configuration is:
| Interface Name | Description | Default configuration |
|---|---|---|
| br-lan | EXAMPLE LAN & WiFi | EXAMPLE 192.168.1.1/24 |
| vlan0 (eth0.0) | EXAMPLE LAN ports (1 to 4) | EXAMPLE None |
| vlan1 (eth0.1) | EXAMPLE WAN port | EXAMPLE DHCP |
| wl0 | EXAMPLE WiFi | EXAMPLE Disabled |
Switch Ports (for VLANs)
Please fill in real values for this device, then remove the EXAMPLEs
Numbers 0-3 are Ports 1-4 as labeled on the unit, number 4 is the Internet (WAN) on the unit, 5 is the internal connection to the router itself. Don't be fooled: Port 1 on the unit is number 3 when configuring VLANs. vlan0 = eth0.0, vlan1 = eth0.1 and so on.
| Port | Switch port |
|---|---|
| Internet (WAN) | EXAMPLE 4 |
| LAN 1 | EXAMPLE 3 |
| LAN 2 | EXAMPLE 2 |
| LAN 3 | EXAMPLE 1 |
| LAN 4 | EXAMPLE 0 |
