Linksys EA7300 v2
Gigabit Ethernet switch based device, USB 3.0 port, 2.4GHz and 5GHz WiFi support. The three antennas cannot be removed. Dual-firmware support allows to switch back to the stock firmware.
Supported Versions
Hardware Highlights
Installation
This device has a dual partition layout (A/B). One partition is set as active and boots. If boot fails three times, than the “other” partition is set as active and booted, assuming it is still safe. A bootcounter (stored in the partiton S_ENV) is used for this purpose. The bootcounter has a flaw that prevents direct install of OpenWrt. In order to work, OpenWrt must be flashed on partition A, from a Linksys OEM in partition B, using a factory image.
From Linksys OEM, flash OpenWrt and wait for reboot (take care of the browser cache, use private session).
- If it's still return to Linksys OEM, than you are on partition A. You have attempted to flash OpenWrt on partition B, it doesn't work. Flash Linksys OEM, it will now boot from partition B. Flash again OpenWrt, it will be on partition A.
- if you have OpenWrt than it's installed on partition A.
You will be able to boot OpenWrt three times from partition A, until the bootcounter flaw set back partition B as bootable (with Linksys GUI). To prevent this, add this code to etc/rc.local
/rom/sbin/mtd unlock s_env /rom/sbin/mtd erase s_env exit 0
This code erases the S_ENV partition that contains the bootcounter. So at each boot of OpenWrt, the bootcounter is erased, and the next boot will be valid. Information from this forum thread https://forum.openwrt.org/t/can-not-install-openwrt-on-linksys-ea7300-v2/85421/11
Reverting to factory firmware
Power on the router and wait 8s. Power off. Repeat this 3 times. You can also use luci-app-advanced-reboot.
This will force boot from partition B where is Linksys OEM. To remove any traces of OpenWrt from your router simply flash the OEM image at this point.

OEM easy installation
The instructions below are for Broadcom devices and only serve as an example.
Remove / modify them if they do not apply to this particular device!
This section deals with
- How you install OpenWrt from a device freshly opened
- The steps required such as reset to factory defaults if the device has already been configured
Note: Reset router to factory defaults if it has been previously configured.
- Browse to
http://192.168.1.1/Upgrade.asp - Upload .bin file to router
- Wait for it to reboot
- Telnet to 192.168.1.1 and set a root password, or browse to
http://192.168.1.1if LuCI is installed.
OEM installation using the TFTP method
Specific values needed for tftp
Enter values for “FILL-IN” below
| Bootloader tftp server IPv4 address | FILL-IN |
|---|---|
| Bootloader MAC address (special) | FILL-IN |
| Firmware tftp image | Latest OpenWrt release (NOTE: Name must contain “tftp”) |
| TFTP transfer window | FILL-IN seconds |
| TFTP window start | approximately FILL-IN seconds after power on |
| TFTP client required IP address | FILL-IN |
Upgrading OpenWrt
Install luci-app-advanced-reboot.
- backup your settings (this will include the hack in
/etc/rc.local). - use
luci-app-advanced-rebootto reboot to partion 2. - In Linksys OEM, flash the newer
factoryimage. - reboot than restore your settings.

Network interfaces
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 |
Switch Ports (for VLANs)
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 |

- This device will boot occasionally back to the stock firmware after install. Reports of this are e.g. https://forum.openwrt.org/t/can-not-install-openwrt-on-linksys-ea7300-v2/85421/9. Reason for this is that the bootcounter cannot be reset properly. This is manifested by messages in dmesg about uncorrectable ECC errors, such as `mt7621-nand 1e003000.nand: Uncorrectable ECC error at page 522.1`. The bootcount record is appended/written, but the hardware seems to overwrite this with the last bootcount instead of 0. A workaround for this is mentioned in https://forum.openwrt.org/t/uncorrectable-ecc-error/88736/5 by simply issuing `mtd erase s_env`. This is somewhat crude, but seems to prevent the bootloader from switching the active partition. One could add it as local entry post-boot in `/etc/rc.local`
- USB is disconnected when WAN port is up (https://forum.openwrt.org/t/usb-is-disconnected-when-wan-is-up/117886). If you need to use USB port and WAN port at the same time, a workaround is to use one of the LAN ports as a WAN port (https://forum.openwrt.org/t/usb-not-working-on-linksys-ea7300/130090).
- Package cryptsetup does not work at all with OpenWrt 21.02 (https://forum.openwrt.org/t/unable-to-create-an-encrypted-disk-on-openwrt-21-02/130982). If you need it you have to upgrade to OpenWrt 22.03 (currently at RC4).
