This page is currently under construction. You can edit the article to help completing it. This is a dual band 802.11ac AC1750 gigabit wireless router. There are three detachable antennas and a USB3 port. Getting started with a new Device Page 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.

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. 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://192.168.1.1 if LuCI is installed. OEM installation using the TFTP method → generic.flashing.tftp 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 → generic.sysupgrade These are generic instructions. Update with your router's specifics. 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 Please fill in real values for this device, then remove the EXAMPLEs 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.
