Unlike many other wireless router with same SoC selling in China, this one doesn't have U-boot locked. Thus installing OpenWrt becomes much easier comparing to other competitors.
We will utilize the U-boot recovery mode to flash the OpenWrt.
NOTE: The similar procedure may be used to restore to stock firmware.
Flashing through TFTP doesn't seem to work right now.
→ Basic configuration After flashing, proceed with this.
The 802.11AC, or 5G wireless capability is provided kmod-mt76 package. It may be installed via terminal
opkg update && opkg -y install kmod-mt76
Or through LuCI Software page.
After rebooting, the LuCi will present the 5G network in Wifi page.

The default network configuration is:
Interface Name | Description | Default configuration |
---|---|---|
br-lan | EXAMPLE LAN & WiFi | EXAMPLE 192.168.1.1/24 |

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.
