GL.iNet GL-AR300

There are several variants of the GL-AR300 series

The GL-AR300M series is a different device

They vary extensively and firmware for one model may not work on another.

Write a short, relevant description of the device. Include a technical overview, but avoid marketing buzzwords/useless stuff. Two to four sentences is about right. A picture is good, too. Edit the page to see how to add pictures.

Any text with a light background (like this text) provides guidance for creating the Details Page. When you have filled in correct/useful information (instead of any template that's there) remove the text, as well as the <WRAP> that encloses it.

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.

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.

Install OpenWrt in GL.Inet devices

Note: It can happen that the browser cache does conflict with the new loaded firmware. This can be avoided by browsing to: http://192.168.1.1/index.html?index. By adding ?index it asked the browser not to load from cache.

→ generic.sysupgrade

These are generic instructions. Update with your router's specifics.

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://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://http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/XXX/xxx.abc
mtd write /tmp/xxx.abc linux && reboot

→ generic.debrick

→ failsafe_and_factory_reset

→ Basic configuration After flashing, proceed with this.
Set up your Internet connection, configure wireless, configure USB port, etc.

Please fill in real values for this device, then remove the EXAMPLEs

The default network configuration is:

Interface Name	Description	Default configuration
br-lan	EXAMPLE LAN & WiFi	EXAMPLE 192.168.1.1/24
vlan0 (eth0.0)	EXAMPLE LAN ports (1 to 4)	EXAMPLE None
vlan1 (eth0.1)	EXAMPLE WAN port	EXAMPLE DHCP
wl0	EXAMPLE WiFi	EXAMPLE Disabled

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
