Linksys EA6350 v3

This is a dual band 802.11ac AC1200 gigabit wireless router powered by a quad core processor. There are two non-detachable antennas and a USB3 port.

Supported Versions

OpenWrt 23.05 (at least 23.05.5) works also in this device but you can not install or upgrade to it without first doing bootloader variable fw_setenv kernsize 500000 change. Thus the supported version in above table is 22.03 series which is the last version which works out of the box without kernsize change. See more from below Installation of 23.05 or newer.

(The installation procedure containing images for Linksys EA8300 is almost identical and worth reviewing)

Installation of 23.05 or newer

WARNING FOR FIRST TIME INSTALLATION

OpenWrt 23.05 works fine with this device but you should not install directly 23.05 from Linksys OEM stock firmware or do upgrade from OpenWrt 22.03 to 23.05 without doing one small kernsize change. Don't try to flash directly 23.05 or newer without kernsize change, it won't work.

First time installation of OpenWrt 23.05 or newer requires steps:

You need to have a previous OpenWrt 22.03.5+ to run one command to change a bootloader variable fw_setenv kernsize 500000. This change is only needed once in the lifetime of the device.
After kernsize variable is changed, you can flash to 23.05 using factory image (or sysupgrade) image using LuCI.

Background. This Linksys device has a tiny kernel partition limited to 3 MB size as default. This is sufficient to boot Linksys OEM and OpenWrt 22.03 (based on kernel 5.10). However, this is not enough to boot kernel 5.15 (used in 23.05 and newer). There is a workaround for this situation, and it involves changing a bootloader variable to increase 3 MB kernel size limit to 5 MB. This is only needed once in the lifetime of the device, and can be done easily via SSH. Once the bootloader kernsize variable is changed, the device can boot everything: Linksys OEM, OpenWrt 22.03, 23.05 and snapshot.

In the release notes for 23.05, it says: “ipq40xx EA6350v3, EA8300 and MR8300 require tweak to the U-Boot environment on update from 22.03 to 23.05. Refer to the Device wiki or the instruction on sysupgrade on how to do this change. Config needs to be reset on sysupgrade.” These instructions below are what is referred in those release notes.

So first you need to have 22.03.5+ already installed. If you haven't, install the latest stable 22.03 as described previously.
Once you are running 22.03.5+, open an SSH terminal to the router.
Check your previous bootloader variables. Enter:
```
fw_printenv | grep kernsize
```
Look for output similar to kernsize=300000. This is the default 3 MB size of kernel.
Enter:
```
fw_setenv kernsize 500000
```
This will tell the bootloader to read 5 MB (needed for kernel 5.15) instead of 3 MB. WARNING : DO NOT type kernsize=500000 here in this command but it needs to be without the equals sign, with the equals sign it will soft-brick the bootloader. Updating to kernsize 500000 works with smaller 3 MB kernels also, as U-Boot will just load some extra harmless data.
Enter:
```
fw_printenv | grep kernsize
```
to confirm the change after running. Now you should read kernsize=500000.
Reboot the device.
```
reboot
```
It should boot the current 22.03.5 just as previously.

Your device can now flash and run anything: Linksys OEM, OpenWrt 21.02, 22.03, 23.05 and main snapshot.

Now to update safely to 23.05, do below:

Take a backup from your settings for 22.03 using e.g. Luci UI. You will lose all your configurations when updating to 23.05 because 23.05 migrates network configuration to DSA which makes network configuration not compatible with earlier versions.
Download a 23.05 factory image (eg. openwrt-23.05.5-ipq40xx-generic-linksys_ea6350v3-squashfs-factory.bin. (Sysupgrade image like openwrt-23.05.5-ipq40xx-generic-linksys_ea6350v3-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin also works).
Flash the image from OpenWrt 22.03. You can use Luci UI to do the upgrade: “System...Flash firmware...Flash new firmware image”. You will see some red warnings which you can ignore. Uncheck “Keep settings and retain the current configuration” and check “Force upgrade” and click Continue.
Wait for a few minutes while the update completes.
Connect with wired cable to the router and configure it as you want. Do not try to restore any previous 22.03 config file using Luci UI, it isn't compatible due to network configuration migration to DSA. You can manually restore most of the config files from the backup archive using ssh and updating files in /etc/config/ directory.

Once you have successfully installed 23.05, you can do upgrades to newer versions later as usual without touching anymore kernsize value and you can also preserve configurations during upgrades.

Above instructions are based on below links where you can read more about this bootloader variable change:

https://openwrt.org/toh/linksys/mr8300#installation_of_2305_or_snapshot
https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/11405
https://forum.openwrt.org/t/linksys-ea8300-upgrade-to-23-xx/186462/ Using 23.05 sysupgrade instead of factory image works too.

Upgrading OpenWrt

Prior to OpenWrt 22.03.3, the recommended advice for this and other Linksys dual partition routers, is to revert to booting Linksys stock firmware from the other partition. Use the Recovery (Automatic) method described later in this wiki page.

Then install the new OpenWrt squashfs-factory image using Linksys GUI, as described earlier in this wiki page.

If you were to use OpenWrt to install the newer squashfs-sysupgrade image, the original Linksys stock firmware stored on the other partition will be overwritten. Both partitions will contain OpenWrt. Fortunately, it is though possible to restore Linksys stock firmware using the 'Back to Stock' procedure described later in this wiki page.

As it is now possible to revert to Linksys OEM firmware provided OpenWrt 23.03.5+ is installed, the normal method of upgrading OpenWrt is recommended:

→ generic.sysupgrade

Recommend to use the latest stable releases. Note the very development snapshots do not include LuCI.

Debricking (Recovery / Back To Stock)

→ generic.debrick

Recovery (Automatic)

The EA6350v3 is a dual firmware device. ie. There are 2 partitions and Linksys firmware is copied to both partitions at the factory. When you install/update the Linksys firmware, or install/update OpenWrt, the new firmware is always written to the other partition. Upon restarting the EA6350v3, it will subsequently try to boot from the newly installed firmware image from other partition.

If the device fails to boot after install or upgrade:

Switch On and wait 15 seconds
Switch Off and wait 10 seconds
Repeat steps 1 and 2, three times, then go to 4.
U-boot will switch to booting the previous working firmware - you should be able to access your router on LAN.

The above method can be used to toggle between the two firmwares.

To perform a Factory Reset to restore default settings:

Turn on the router and wait 2 minute.
Press and hold the recessed Reset button for 10 seconds. (For earlier versions of Linksys firmware, you may need to hold Reset for up to 20 seconds)

Warning: If you install/upgrade OpenWrt more than once, both partitions will be overwritten with OpenWrt firmwares, and you won't be able to revert back to Linksys OEM firmware using above method.

Recovery (Manual)

Unknown.

Generic u-boot tftp client method to restore firmware to EA6350v3 does NOT appear to work when tested with tftpd64 client and Linksys Utility.

EA6350v3 is very similar to Linksys EA8300, and using a serial connection and tftp server may work. The OEM Boot log shown below may be incomplete, ie. missing boot log from Uboot. Refer to the 'TFTP Recovery' section for the EA8300.

Back To Stock

OpenWrt 22.03.5 or later sysupgrade can be used to restore Linksys firmwares. See Commit

List of download links for Linksys EA6350 v3 firmwares:
v3.1.10.191322 - Latest version
v3.1.9.182357
v3.1.9.180755
v3.1.6.178912
v3.1.4.175257

The original restore method prior to 22.03.5 is described below.

The documented way of reverting back to stock from the OpenWrt firmware requires removing the tailing bytes of the Linksys image and then write it to the currently non-booted partition using the mtd command. This always works regardless of the times you flashed OpenWrt or if both partitions have an OpenWrt firmware. In order to simplify the process and to avoid fatal mistakes, a script is available in the community, as descrived below.

Reverting to Linksys firmware using custom 'BackToStock' script

If you cannot use the 'Recovery (Automatic)' method described above but there is a working copy of OpenWrt, then the EA6350v3 can also be returned to Linksys stock firmware with the aid of a shell script. Sadly, this script requires tools that are not present in the default OpenWrt repository. For this reason, it is recommended to use the script directly from the binary firmware provided by the author.

Download links and full instructions can be found in this OpenWrt forum thread:

Forum post and thread: Forum: OpenWrt Forum
GitHub release page for the very latest binary image (uses tar.zst archive), script and source code: Download: GitHub Releases
To extract the .tar.zst archive file, Windows users will require Peazip, MacOS users will require Keka (beta)
Support thread for the custom firmware: Forum: OpenWrt Forum

Note: the guide refers a particular version which is not available anymore. The latest version should work by following the guide, but be careful of any small difference you may encounter between versions.

Summarised procedure using SFTP

Go to the GitHub download page and read the document you'll find in the main page.
Once you've reached the end of the document, you will find the download link to the latest version.
Extract the compressed archive in your computer.
Install image *-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin using LuCI. Warning: if you are flashing this firmware over a default OpenWrt firmware, you must have to click the option to not preserve your settings, otherwise, your device will soft brick.
Use the SFTP protocol (eg. free programs like WinSCP or FileZilla, or OpenSSH which is available by default on most Linux distros and all Macs) and connect to the device at 192.168.50.1 (default ip) with username admin and your respective password for the admin user (default: admin).
Copy the original Linksys firmware to /tmp folder. Rename the file to civic.img to make the process easier.
SSH into router at 192.168.50.1 with the same credentials as you did before.
Execute the command sudo -i and type your admin password.
Once in the root shell, execute the command BackToStock /tmp/civic.img.
Read carefully the messages on your screen. After a few minutes and if every test passed the device will reboot with Linksys firmware. Use a web browser and go to the LAN IP address of the device, it is 192.168.1.1 by default. Alternatively, use the URL http://LinksysSmartWiFi.com.
Click on Manual Configuration link on bottom left corner of web page. Log in with password: admin.
If the login page fails to appear, hold the “Reset” button in for 10 seconds to clear all settings while the device is powered on. Repeat previous step.
Choose 'Connectivity' tab.
Install Linksys firmware to restore the firmware to the 2nd partition. This way, OpenWrt will be completely removed from the device.

Using USB flash drive with above prebuilt sysupgrade image.

Refer to steps in SFTP method to install the custom firmware.
Copy Linksys firmware to root of USB flash drive system and rename to civic.img. Most filesystems are supported, including NTFS, FAT and exFAT (the most common filesystems for USB drives).
SSH into router at 192.168.50.1 with the same credentials as you would do with the SFTP method above.
Execute: sudo -i
Mount the flash drive. For example:
```
mkdir -p /mnt/usb
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb
```
Note: if your device is not in /dev/sda, you can find it using the lsblk command. You can, also, use LuCI to mount your drive.
Execute script: BackToStock /mnt/usb/civic.img (or the mount path you choosed).
Refer to steps in SFTP method to flash Linksys firmware to 2nd partition.

LED configuration

On top of the device, there is a green blinking LED as default. This LED can be easily disabled if it is annoying. Disable by adding this to /etc/config/system:

config led
	option default '0'
	option trigger 'none'
	option name 'Green power led off'
	option sysfs 'green:status'

Power Adapter

The EA6350 v3 is powered by 12V 2 Amp DC power adapter. The size of the barrel plug appears to be standard 2.1 x 5.5mm x 10mm length, commonly used on Linksys and other brands of wifi routers. It was discovered several EA6350 v3 were susceptible to intermittent power loss when using variety of 3rd party power adapters. The problem was traced to style of 2.1/5.5mm barrel plug. Ensure the replacement power adapter is fitted with the fork/prong sprung style plug as shown below. This will prevent intermittent power loss when the plug or cable is disturbed.

DIY Wall hanger solution

Use single core copper wire (eg. 2.5mm 'Twin & Earth' cable commonly used in UK ring mains wiring). Simply strip about 15mm off both ends of the wire and use plier to bend and insert the wire into the ventilation slot on the side. If you want the aerials to hang downwards, fit the hanging wire closer to the front edge of the router.

Opening the case

Note this will void the warranty when the label next to the power socket is broken.

Remove the 4 plastic feet.
Remove the corresponding screws.
Gently pry off the top cover, starting from the rear.

Known issues

As of August 2020, there are still known problems with the switch used in IPQ40xx based devices. Therefore the use of VLANs is not fully supported at this time. See this post for a workaround. Switch config strangeness - consider using NoTengoBattery's custom firmware which does support VLAN as expected by using the patches from Christian Lampeter.
The performance of the 2.4 GHz wireless is suboptimal. This has been discussed and resolved by NoTengoBattery, but as of June of 2020, it will not reach the official OpenWrt firmware soon. Please refer to the forum if you want to test the improved wireless performance and join the discussion. See this post for how to perhaps use the pwr.bin calibration file from the optimized build in 19.07. OpenWrt forum
FIXED in daily snapshots from June 2020, and starting from 19.07.4. Reports of Ethernet controller cutting out when using IPv6 on WAN. OpenWrt forum Commit
Ping spikes/latency issues with ipq401x devices. OpenWrt forum Speed Governor set to Performance for IPQ40xx, starting from: 23.05.2
FIXED in 19.07.1 - Speed issues with some wifi cards. Latest hostapd-common from Aug 2019, is cause of these problems. See reported LEDE bug 2679 for nbg6619. Bug report 2679
FIXED in 19.07.5 - In addition to '1' above, 19.07.4 completely breaks VLAN tagging on IPQ40xx devices. OpenWrt forum
It is possible to flash Linksys OEM firmware using sysupgrade since 22.03.3.
21.02.6 and 22.03.4 does not work with this device. Do not try to install it, it will not boot at all. The problem was resolved in later releases.
Installing OpenWrt 23.05 first time requires doing bootloader variable fw_setenv kernsize 500000 change. You should not try to install 23.05 without that kernsize change! See more from Installation of 23.05 or newer.

Alternative optimised build snapshots for EA6350v3 are also available from NoTengoBattery as an alternative to official OpenWrt releases. They include additional patches and address some of the issues listed above: NoTengoBattery Github and OpenWrt Forum link.
