Ubiquiti RouterStation

→ Install OpenWrt (generic explanation)

NOTE: The firmware image for the routerstation and the the one for the routerstation_pro are NOT COMPATIBLE.

1. Under the most recent Attitude Adjustment repository, under ar71xx, find the image named “openwrt-ar71xx-ubnt-rs-squashfs-factory.bin” or “openwrt-ar71xx-ubnt-rs-jffs2-factory.bin”.
2. Connect to the Routerstation's WAN port, the LAN ports will not work for loading the image.
3. Boot the system in recovery mode by holding the reset switch until the RF LED lights up while powering on the device.
4. Set your PC to a static address of 192.168.1.100.
5. Check connectivity by pinging to 192.168.1.20; there may be an issue with the automatic ethernet polarity negotiation not working properly; if that is the case try to connect through a reverse polarity cable.
6. Upload the new firmware to the device through WAN port using TFTP on the default IP address, 192.168.1.20.

   GNU/Linux: tftp 192.168.1.20 -m binary -c put openwrt-ar71xx-ubnt-rs-squashfs-factory.bin
   Windows: tftp -i 192.168.1.20 put openwrt-ar71xx-ubnt-rs-squashfs-factory.bin

7. Connect to 192.168.1.1 on the LAN port after router reboots.

   GNU/Linux: telnet 192.168.1.1

If you have already installed OpenWrt and like to reflash for e.g. upgrading to a new OpenWrt version you can upgrade using the mtd command line tool. It is important that you put the firmware image into the ramdisk (/tmp) before you start flashing.

• Browse to http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/luci/mini/system/upgrade/ LuCI Upgrade URL
• Upload TRX file to LuCI
• Wait for reboot

• via tftp mode
• put RouterStation into tftp mode by holding reset button when turning it on

• tftp 192.168.1.20 -m binary -c put openwrt-ar71xx-ubnt-rs-squashfs-factory.bin

• run tftp command from same directory where you downloaded firmware
• wait for 5 minutes and then you can reboot the router if it doesn't reboot automatically

• Note that the RouterStation does not have a LED labeled DMZ, but instead LED labeled RF.
• The RouterStation only has hardware button which is the reset button.

• Unplug the router's power cord.
• Connect the router's WAN port directly to your PC.
• Configure your PC with a static IP address between 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.254. E. g. 192.168.1.2 (gateway and DNS is not required).
• Plug the power on and wait for the RF LED to light up.
• While the RF LED is on immediately press Reset button few times.
• If done right the RF LED will quickly flash 3 times every second.
• You should be able to telnet to the router at 192.168.1.1 now (no username and password)
