Cudy provides a version of OpenWrt 21.02.1 that can be downloaded here and upgraded using Cudy's web interface. After this upgrade you can use the normal OpenWrt methods to change the OpenWrt firmware.

Returning to the stock Cudy firmware from the OpenWrt installation is possible using TFTP, using this image. TFTP server should be configured with 192.168.1.88 as IP address.

  1. Press the “Reset” button and hold it. Before the Cudy router is powered on and before TFTP start to download the firmware, don't release the “Reset” button.
  2. Power on the Cudy router.
  3. You can release the reset button only when the status LED flashes red and blue quickly, or when TFTP starts downloading firmware.
