devolo WiFi pro 1750e

The devolo WiFi pro 1750e is a wall mountable access point with:

  • Dual band 2.4 and 5 GHz WiFi (3×3 IEEE 802.11n 450Mbps, 3×3 IEEE 802.11ac 1299Mpbs)
  • 2x 1Gbit ethernet ports (with Power over Ethernet support)
  • 1x USB 2.0 port
  • External serial console port (Currently unsupported but internal 4-pin internal Dupont connector is functional)
  • 1x GPIO attached piezo beeper

The access point is manufactured by OEM Acelink Technologies Co., Ltd. as a EW-7679WAC and was originally sold by Edimax as a WAP1750. The Edimax unit was reviewed by SmallNetBuilder.

Install OpenWrt (generic explanation)

Set a password for the root user as prompted on first set-up of OEM firmware.

  1. Upload OpenWrt sysupgrade image via SSH to the device. Use /tmp as the destination folder on the device. User is root, password previously set in the web interface.
  2. Install OpenWrt with:
    sysupgrade -n -F /tmp/<openwrt-image-name>
  3. Connect to LAN 2 (poe)

FIXME It's not currently known if this device supports OEM flashing via tftp

  • 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

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

Basic configuration After flashing, proceed with this.

FIXME Set up your Internet connection, configure wireless, configure USB port, etc.

The default network configuration is:

Interface Name Description Default configuration
eth0 LAN 2 (poe) 192.168.1.1/24
eth1 LAN 1 None
wlan0 Wifi 5Ghz Disabled
wlan1 Wifi 2.4Ghz Disabled
Port Switch port

Blue booting, running dvl1750e:blue:status
Red failsafe, upgrade dvl1750e:red:status

The LED behaviour can be altered after flashing (no pun intended m() through the LuCI “System” → “LED Configuration” page and by selecting an appropriate Trigger, for example “Network device activity (netdev)”.

  • This AP has been tested to work with both the ath10k-firmware-qca988x (QCA) and ath10k-firmware-qca988x-ct (Candela Technologies) firmwares and associated ath10k and ath10-ct kernel modules. As of writing (22/01/2019), snapshots default to the Candela Technologies variant (1) but performance is more consistent (2) and faster (3) with the QCA variant.
  • The TX Rate shows incorrectly as 6.0 Mbit/s when using ath10k/ath10k-firmware-qca988x. Instead, the current TX Rate can be read from:
