This page is currently under construction. You can edit the article to help completing it. 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 one) provides instructions for creating the Details Page. When you have filled in correct/useful information (instead of any template that's there) remove the instructions, as well as the <WRAP> that encloses it. 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.

Before installing any other packages, install luci-proto-uqmi and then download and install the following custom uqmi package: wget https://github.com/mrhaav/openwrt/raw/master/21.02.3/uqmi_2022-05-16-0.5_mipsel_24kc.ipk opkg install uqmi_2022-05-16-0.5_mipsel_24kc.ipk Add a new section to /etc/config/network for the modem, adding the correct APN required by your ISP: config interface 'Broadband' option proto 'qmi' option device '/dev/cdc-wdm0' option apn '<insert your ISP's APN>' option auth 'none' option dhcp '0' option autoconnect '1' 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 Flashing via OEM web interface does not work. OEM installation using the TFTP method → docs:guide-user:installation:generic.flashing.tftp You can flash via tftp recovery: serve tftp-recovery image as tp_recovery.bin on 192.168.0.225/24 connect to any ethernet port power on the device while holding the reset button wait at least 8 seconds before releasing reset button. After downloading the new firmware image, the power light should flash for about 3mins, then the device should reboot. Specific values needed for tftp Bootloader tftp server IPv4 address 192.168.0.225 Firmware tftp image Latest OpenWrt release (NOTE: Use the image containing the name“tftp” and rename it to tp_recovery.bin) TFTP window start Power on the device while holding the RESET button for 8secs Bootloader TFTP client IPv4 address 192.168.0.2 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 Network interfaces The default network configuration is: Interface Name Description Default configuration br-lan LAN & WiFi 192.168.1.1/24 vlan0 (eth0.1) LAN ports (1 to 3) None vlan1 (eth0.2) LAN/WAN port DHCP wlan0 WiFi Disabled wwan0 Broadband Not configured Switch Ports (for VLANs) 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.
