The WLAN 2.4G MAC address (label1) was found in 'Factory' partition, 0xA0004
The WLAN 5G MAC address (label2) was found in 'Factory' partition, 0x4

Installation
------------
1. Download the OEM recovery software (ipTIME Firmware Wizard (11ac))
   from the manufacturer's website
2. Download the *squashfs-factory.bin file from the OpenWrt website
3. Press a reset button, and power up the router (keep pressing the reset button)
4. Wait more than 10 seconds until the CPU LED stop blinking
5. Connect the router (LAN port) to the PC
6. Run the OEM recovery software and follow the instructions
7. Select the *squashfs-factory.bin file during the router recovery process
8. Wait for the router to boot from *squashfs-factory.bin

Note: The router will automatically reboot if no file is uploaded within
55 seconds.

Fan Control
------------
The fan speed is controlled by writing a value from 0 to 2 to the
`fan1_target` file.

```
cd /sys/devices/platform/gpio-fan/hwmon/hwmon2

echo '0' > fan1_target // off
echo '1' > fan1_target // slow
echo '2' > fan1_target // fast
```

Limitation: Enabling Wi-Fi 6E
----------
Wi-Fi 6E (6GHz) does not work out of the box on LuCI.
After installation, you need to configure a few settings in the `radio1`
and `default_radio1` sections of the `/etc/config/wireless`.
Once you have made these changes, you can enable and use Wi-Fi 6E.

In the `radio1` section, you need to add three common options:
- band: must be set to `6g`
- country: a valid country code for the 6GHz band
- channel: a preferrend scanning channel (PSC) for 6GHz

In the `default_radio1` section, you need to add the SSID and key:
- ssid: The public name of your Wi-Fi network
- key: The Wi-Fi password
- encryption: must be set to either `sae` for WPA3 or `owe` for OWE
  (open network)

Example:

```
config wifi-device 'radio1'
        ...
        option band '6g'
        option country 'KR'
        option channel '37'
        ...

config wifi-iface 'default_radio1'
        ...
        option ssid 'my_wifi_6e_name'
        option key 'my_strong_password1234'
        option encryption 'sae'
        ...
```

Note: A list of all the 6GHz PSC channels:

```
5, 21, 37, 53, 69, 85, 101, 117, 133, 149, 165, 181, 197, 213, and 229
```

Limitation: Maximum Transmit Power (Wi-Fi 6E)
----------
The maximum transmit power is currently broken. In the drop-down menu,
you can only choose between "driver default" and "255 dBm (2147493647
mW)". There is currently no workaround for the issue. Please leave the
maximum transmit power set to "driver default".

OpenWrt logo

OpenWrt Project is a Linux operating system targeting embedded devices. Instead of trying to create a single, static firmware, OpenWrt provides a fully writable filesystem with package management. This frees you from the application selection and configuration provided by the vendor and allows you to customize the device through the use of packages to suit any application. For developers, OpenWrt is the framework to build an application without having to build a complete firmware around it; for users this means the ability for full customization, to use the device in ways never envisioned.

Sunshine!

Download

Built firmware images are available for many architectures and come with a package selection to be used as WiFi home router. To quickly find a factory image usable to migrate from a vendor stock firmware to OpenWrt, try the Firmware Selector.

If your device is supported, please follow the Info link to see install instructions or consult the support resources listed below.

An advanced user may require additional or specific package. (Toolchain, SDK, ...) For everything else than simple firmware download, try the wiki download page:

Development

To build your own firmware you need a GNU/Linux, BSD or macOS system (case sensitive filesystem required). Cygwin is unsupported because of the lack of a case sensitive file system.

Requirements

You need the following tools to compile OpenWrt, the package names vary between distributions. A complete list with distribution specific packages is found in the Build System Setup documentation.

binutils bzip2 diff find flex gawk gcc-6+ getopt grep install libc-dev libz-dev
make4.1+ perl python3.7+ rsync subversion unzip which

Quickstart

  1. Run ./scripts/feeds update -a to obtain all the latest package definitions defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default

  2. Run ./scripts/feeds install -a to install symlinks for all obtained packages into package/feeds/

  3. Run make menuconfig to select your preferred configuration for the toolchain, target system & firmware packages.

  4. Run make to build your firmware. This will download all sources, build the cross-compile toolchain and then cross-compile the GNU/Linux kernel & all chosen applications for your target system.

The main repository uses multiple sub-repositories to manage packages of different categories. All packages are installed via the OpenWrt package manager called opkg. If you're looking to develop the web interface or port packages to OpenWrt, please find the fitting repository below.

  • LuCI Web Interface: Modern and modular interface to control the device via a web browser.

  • OpenWrt Packages: Community repository of ported packages.

  • OpenWrt Routing: Packages specifically focused on (mesh) routing.

  • OpenWrt Video: Packages specifically focused on display servers and clients (Xorg and Wayland).
