Any text with a light background (like this one) provides instructions for creating the Details Page. When you have filled in correct/useful information (instead of any template that's there) remove the instructions, as well as the <WRAP>
that encloses it.
Getting started with a new Device Page
- This is an empty template that suggests the information that should be present on a well-constructed Device Page. This means, that you have to fill it with life and information.
- There are several “fixme” tags with text on a light background (like this text) throughout this template. As you fill in the page, remove those tags so that people can judge its completeness.
- When there are no more “fixme” tags left, delete this one too, along with the
<WRAP>
that encloses it.
Keep the articles modular
- Please include only model specific information, omit bla,bla and put everything generic into separate articles
- If you have no time to write certain stuff, link to docs
- base-system should lead the way, do not explain this again
- DO NOT provide a complete howto here! Instead groom the general documentation.
Supported Versions
- The tables below are automatically generated, once the correct filters for Brand and Model are set.
- If the tables below show information for
Devolo Magic 2 WiFi next
, everything is OK and you can delete this text and the<WRAP>
that encloses it. - If the tables below contain “Nothing found”, it means that either
- the dataentry page for Devolo Magic 2 WiFi next is missing. Please create a new dataentry page first, then reload this page. The tables should then contain $something. If they do, delete this text and the
<WRAP>
that encloses it. - filters are not set correctly. Most common reason for “Nothing found”: The dataentry does not contain a Version, but we are filtering here for version → Please edit this section and adjust the filters with the proper Brand, Model and Version. In case the dataentry does not contain a version, delete the line
filter : Versions~
. Just try, it's easy. The tables should then contain $something. If they do, delete this text and the<WRAP>
that encloses it.
- If the tables still contain “Nothing found”: Don't panic, calm down, take a deep breath and contact a wiki admin (tmomas) for help.

OEM easy installation
See the commit message that adds device support It might be possible to sysupgrade straight from Devolo's firmware, but this is untested. To gain shell access make the modification as described here to the exported configuration tarball and reupload it: https://forum.openwrt.org/t/installing-openwrt-on-devolo-magic-2-wifi-next/129725/11
OEM installation using the TFTP method
Upgrading OpenWrt
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:
sysupgrade
mtd
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
Debricking
Failsafe mode
Basic configuration
→ Basic configuration After flashing, proceed with this.
Set up your Internet connection, configure wireless, configure USB port, etc.
Specific Configuration
G.hn
The following OpenWRT packages are required for G.hn, when building a new image, it is recommended to enable these in `make menuconfig`:
- Enable flock, it can be found under: Utilities → flock
- Enable libcap, it can be found under: Libraries → libcap
- Enable ebtables, it can be found under: Network → Firewall → ebtables-nft
- Enable ethtool, Network → ethtool-full
Furthermore packages from the ODM firmware are required:
delos-base-files delos-device-name devolo-shared-configlayer dlan2-fw-flashless-2400-ac dlan2-tools ghn-flashless ghn-host libssp posix-timezone-db
These packages need to be derived from the firmware image that is distributed by Devolo. Scripts to generate these packages are here for now: https://github.com/jschwartzenberg/openwrt/tree/devolo-magic
After generating and installing the above packages:
- Reboot the device
- Configure G.hn:
uci set ghn.ghn.disabled=0 uci set ghn.ghn.interface=ghn uci set ghn.settings.device_name=<name of your device, example: devolo-123> uci set ghn.settings.domain_name=<domain of your G.hn network, copy from another G.hn peer> uci set ghn.settings.password=<password of your G.hn network, copy from another G.hn peer> uci set ghn.settings.pairing_secured=1 uci set ghn.settings.pairing_completed=1 uci set ghn.settings.powermask_profile=mimo_full uci set ghn.settings.dslcoex_enable=0 uci set ghn.settings.force_node=0 uci set ghn.ghn.device_name_initialized=1 uci commit
- Enable and start the service:
/etc/init.d/ghn-host enable /etc/init.d/ghn-host start
G.hn networking should be up and running!
Network interfaces
The default network configuration is:
Interface Name | Description | Default configuration |
---|---|---|
br-lan | LAN & G.hn | 192.168.1.1/24 |
lan1 (eth0 swp5) | LAN port 2 | bridged |
lan2 (eth0 swp3) | LAN port 1 | bridged |
ghn (eth0 swp4) | G.hn powerline | bridged |
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 |
