It is thus possible to install OpenWRT by uploading a sysupgrade image in the web UI. Only specific firmware versions will let you upgrade this way though. 1. Download the OEM firmware version 3.5.3.5 (sha256sum: 28840da6ff0a8ddd808a6513af69e12aa3a742cda2251bbb13e28d640db0549a). It can be retrieved on the OEM's website. A copy is also available on archive.org if that file were to be removed. 2. In the web UI, go to System Manager > Firmware > Firmware Upgrade, and upgrade the firmware. Warning! This section describes actions that might damage your device or firmware. Proceed with care! 3. Once the device has rebooted and is on OEM firmware version 3.5.3.5, upgrade the firmware as described before, using the latest openwrt-ipq40xx-engenius_eap1300-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin sysupgrade image. BEWARE! You should use the sysupgrade image and not the install image (ipq40xx-generic-engenius_eap1300-initramfs-fit-uImage.itb), as otherwise you will brick your device. Load Ramdisk via U-Boot You will need a serial adapter to perform the following steps. To set up the flash memory environment, do the following: 1. As a preliminary step, ensure that the board console port is connected to the PC using these RS232 parameters: 115200bps 8N1 2. Confirm that the PC is connected to the board using one of the Ethernet ports. Set a static ip 192.168.99.8 for Ethernet that connects to board. The PC must have a TFTP server launched and listening on the interface to which the board is connected. At this stage power up the board and, after a few seconds, press 4 and then any key during the countdown. U-BOOT> set serverip 192.168.99.8 && set ipaddr 192.168.99.9 && tftpboot 0x84000000 openwrt.itb && bootm Flash Layout Find out flash layout, then add the flash layout table here (copy, paste, modify the example). Please check out the article Flash layout. It contains examples and explanations that describe how to document the flash layout. Upgrading OpenWrt → generic.sysupgrade 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 → generic.debrick Failsafe mode → failsafe_and_factory_reset Basic configuration → Basic configuration After flashing, proceed with this. Set up your Internet connection, configure wireless, configure USB port, etc. Specific Configuration Network interfaces To use this device as an access point: 1. Disable the DCHP server on the device. 2. Use a network configuration that looks like this: config interface 'loopback' option proto 'static' option ipaddr '127.0.0.1' option netmask '255.0.0.0' option device 'lo' config globals 'globals' option ula_prefix 'fd57:4798:2621::/48' config interface 'lan' option proto 'static' option ipaddr '192.168.1.60' option netmask '255.255.255.0' option gateway '192.168.1.1' option ip6assign '60' option device 'br-lan' list dns '192.168.1.1' config device option name 'br-lan' option type 'bridge' list ports 'eth0' Buttons The EnGenius EAP1300 has the following buttons: BUTTON Event Reset reset Hardware Info General Brand EnGenius Model EAP1300 Versions Device Type WiFi AP Availability Available 2018 Comments - general OpenWrt Support Supported Since Commit https://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt/openwrt.git;a=commit;h=2b4ac79a791d9451f601d494dde2e71864174358 Supported Since Release 19.07.0 Supported Current Release 22.03.3 Unsupported Hardware Bootloader U-Boot Target ipq40xx System-On-Chip CPU MHz 717 Flash MB 32 RAM MB 256 Network Ethernet 100M ports - Ethernet Gbit ports 1 Switch Qualcomm Atheros QCA8072 Modem - VLAN ¿ Comments - network ports Wireless WLAN 2.4GHz b/g/n WLAN 5.0GHz a/n/ac WLAN Hardware Qualcomm Atheros IPQ4018 Detachable Antennas - Comments - WLAN Interfaces USB ports - SATA ports - Serial Yes JTAG ¿ Comments - USB & SATA ports Misc LED count 5 Button count 1 Power supply 12 VDC, 1.0 A, PoE 802.3af Links Forum Topic URL WikiDevi URL OEM device homepage URL https://www.engeniustech.com/engenius-products/enturbo-11ac-wave-2-indoor-wireless-access-point-ac1300/ Firmware OEM Stock URL https://www.engeniustech.com/firmware-updates.html Firmware OpenWrt Install URL https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/22.03.3/targets/ipq40xx/generic/openwrt-22.03.3-ipq40xx-generic-engenius_eap1300-initramfs-fit-uImage.itb Firmware OpenWrt Upgrade URL https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/22.03.3/targets/ipq40xx/generic/openwrt-22.03.3-ipq40xx-generic-engenius_eap1300-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin Edit the underlying data View/Edit data Photos Front: Back: Inside cover 1: Inside cover 2: Opening the case Note: This will void your warranty! 1.
