Do not put two devices on the same page. Please create separate pages for each device. H3C TX1801 Plus is a dual-band Wi-Fi 6 router. Internally it is very similar to TX1800 Plus and TX1806 models. The three (maybe more in the future) models are part of the TX180x series, which various ISPs (e.g. China Telecom) have customized and offered as part of broadband connection plans. These devices, especially used ones, can be purchased relatively cheaply ($10~$30) on major Chinese e-commerce sites (e.g. JD.com/TaoBao.com). With OpenWRT installed, they offer great performance and flexibility at affordable cost.

We can find the TTL port from the cooling hole at the bottom. It is located below LAN3 and the pins are defined as follows: |LAN1|LAN2|LAN3|----|WAN| -------------------- |GND|TX|RX|VCC| 1. Set tftp server IP to 192.168.124.99 and put initramfs firmware in server's root directory, rename it to a simple name "initramfs.bin". 2. Plug in the power supply and wait for power on, connect the TTL cable and open a TTL session (Baud 115200), enter "reboot", then enter "Y" to confirm. Finally push "0" to interrupt boot while booting. 3. Edit u-boot env to ensure use the first image slot: => setenv bootflag 0 => saveenv 4. Execute command to install an initramfs system: => tftpboot initramfs.bin => bootm 5. Backup nand flash by OpenWrt LuCI or dd instruction. We need those partitions if we want to back to stock firmwre due to official website does not provide firmware download link. # dd if=/dev/mtd1 of=/tmp/u-boot-env.bin # dd if=/dev/mtd4 of=/tmp/firmware.bin 6. Upgrade sysupgrade firmware. 7. About restore stock firmware: flash the "firmware" and "u-boot-env" partitions that we backed up in step 5. # mtd write /tmp/u-boot-env.bin u-boot-env # mtd write /tmp/firmware.bin firmware 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.
