Open Linksys Web UI - http://192.168.1.1/ca or http://10.65.1.1/ca depending on your setup.
Login with your admin password. The default password can be found on a sticker under the device.
To enter into the support mode, click on the “CA” link and the bottom of the page.
Open the “Connectivity” menu and upload the squash-factory image with the “Choose file” button.
Click start. Ignore all the prompts and warnings by click “yes” in all the popups.
The Wifi radios are turned off by default. To configure the router, you will need to connect your computer to the LAN port of the device.
Then you would need to write openwrt to the other partition for it to work
- First Check booted partition:
fw_printenv -n boot_part
- Change the partition:
fw_setenv boot_part 1
or
fw_setenv boot_part 2
depending on the current partition
- Then install Openwrt to the other partition if booted in slot 1:
mtd -r -e alt_kernel -n write openwrt-qualcommax-ipq60xx-linksys_mr7350-squashfs-factory.bin alt_kernel
- If in slot 2:
mtd -r -e kernel -n write openwrt-qualcommax-ipq60xx-linksys_mr7350-squashfs-factory.bin kernel

bootcmd=mii write 0x0 0x0 0x800; sleep 1; nmrp; bootdni; boot_DNI_secureboot
bootdelay=2
ipaddr=192.168.1.1
netmask=255.255.255.0
serverip=192.168.1.10
soc_version_major=2
soc_version_minor=0
```
**If you see the message:**
`Warning: Bad CRC, using default environment`
**DO NOT CONTINUE, YOU WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE**
7. Run the following command:
`fw_setenv originalboot 'mii write 0x0 0x0 0x800; sleep 1; nmrp; bootdni; boot_DNI_secureboot'`
(This should match what's in the bootcmd variable displayed in step 6)
8. Run the following commands:
```
fw_setenv wrttftp 'mii write 0x0 0x0 0x800; sleep 1; nmrp; if tftpboot openwrt-qualcommax-ipq807x-netgear_sxr80-initramfs-uImage.itb; then bootm; fi; bootdni; boot_DNI_secureboot'

Flash instructions:
========
1. Manually upgrade firmware using openwrt-qualcommax-ipq807x-linksys_mx8500-squashfs-factory.bin image.
More details can be found here: https://www.linksys.com/support-article?articleNum=47547
After first boot check actual partition:
- fw_printenv -n boot_part
and install firmware on second partition using command in case of 2:
- mtd -r -e kernel -n write openwrt-qualcommax-ipq807x-linksys_mx8500-squashfs-factory.bin kernel
and in case of 1:
- mtd -r -e alt_kernel -n write openwrt-qualcommax-ipq807x-linksys_mx8500-squashfs-factory.bin alt_kernel
2. Installation using serial connection from OEM firmware (default login: root, password: admin):
- fw_printenv -n boot_part
In case of 2:
- flash_erase /dev/mtd21 0 0
- nandwrite -p /dev/mtd21 openwrt-qualcommax-ipq807x-linksys_mx8500-squashfs-factory.bin
or in case of 1:
- flash_erase /dev/mtd23 0 0
- nandwrite -p /dev/mtd23 openwrt-qualcommax-ipq807x-linksys_mx8500-squashfs-factory.bin
After first boot install firmware on second partition:
- mtd -r -e kernel -n write openwrt-qualcommax-ipq807x-linksys_mx8500-squashfs-factory.bin kernel
or:
- mtd -r -e alt_kernel -n write openwrt-qualcommax-ipq807x-linksys_mx8500-squashfs-factory.bin alt_kernel
3. Installation from initramfs image using USB drive:
Put the initramfs image on the USB drive:
- dd bs=1M if=openwrt-qualcommax-ipq807x-linksys_mx8500-initramfs-uImage.itb of=/dev/sda
Stop u-boot and run:
- usb start && usbboot $loadaddr 0 && bootm $loadaddr
Write firmware to the flash from initramfs:
- mtd -e kernel -n write openwrt-qualcommax-ipq807x-linksys_mx8500-squashfs-factory.bin kernel
and:
- mtd -r -e alt_kernel -n write openwrt-qualcommax-ipq807x-linksys_mx8500-squashfs-factory.bin alt_kernel
4. Back to the OEM firmware:
- mtd -e kernel -n write FW_MX8500_1.0.11.208937_prod.img kernel
and:
- mtd -r -e alt_kernel -n write FW_MX8500_1.0.11.208937_prod.img alt_kernel
5. USB recovery:
Put the initramfs image on the USB:
- dd bs=1M if=openwrt-qualcommax-ipq807x-linksys_mx8500-initramfs-uImage.itb of=/dev/sda
Set u-boot env:
- fw_setenv bootusb 'usb start && usbboot $loadaddr 0 && bootm $loadaddr'
- fw_setenv bootcmd 'run bootusb; if test $auto_recovery = no; then bootipq; elif test $boot_part = 1; then run bootpart1; else run bootpart2; fi'
AQR firmware:
========
1. Firmware loading:
To properly load the firmware and initialize AQR PHY, we must use the u-boot aq_load_fw function.
To do this, you need to modify u-boot env:
With USB recovery:
- fw_setenv bootcmd 'aq_load_fw; run bootusb; if test $auto_recovery = no; then bootipq; elif test $boot_part = 1; then run bootpart1; else run bootpart2; fi'
and without:
- fw_setenv bootcmd 'aq_load_fw; if test $auto_recovery = no; then bootipq; elif test $boot_part = 1; then run bootpart1; else run bootpart2; fi'
2. Firmware updating:
Newer firmware (AQR-G4_v5.6.5-AQR_WNC_SAQA-L2_GT_ID45287_VER24005.cld) is available in the latest OEM firmware.
To load this firmware via u-boot, we need to add the MBN header and update 0:ethphyfw partition.
For MBN header we can use script from this repository: https://github.com/testuser7/aqr_mbn_tool
- python aqr_mbn_tool.py AQR-G4_v5.6.5-AQR_WNC_SAQA-L2_GT_ID45287_VER24005.cld
To update partition we need to install kmod-mtd-rw package first:
- insmod mtd-rw.ko i_want_a_brick=1
- mtd -e /dev/mtd26 -n write aqr_fw.mbn /dev/mtd26

Spectrum SAX1V1K is a AX WIFI router with 3 1G and 1 2.5G ports.
The router is provided to Spectrum customers.
It is OEM of Askey RT5010W
https://forum.openwrt.org/t/spectrum-sax1v1k-askey-rt5010w-openwrt-support/149923
It continues the original work by @MeisterLone to get this device supported.
Specifications:
```
• CPU: Qualcomm IPQ8072A Quad core Cortex-A53 2.2GHz
• RAM: 2048MB of DDR3
• Storage: 1024MB eMMC
• Ethernet: 3x 1G RJ45 ports (QCA8075) + 1 2.5G Port (QCA8081)
• WLAN:
• 2.4GHz: Qualcomm QCN5024 4x4 802.11b/g/n/ax 1174 Mbps PHY rate
• 5GHz: Qualcomm QCN5054 4x4 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax 2402 PHY rate
• LED: 1 gpio-controlled dual color led (blue/red)
• Buttons: 1x reset
• Power: 12V DC jack
```
Notes:
```
• This commit adds only single partition support, that means
sysupgrade is upgrading the current rootfs partition.
• Installation can be done by serial connection only.
• A poulated serial header is onboard
https://forum.openwrt.org/t/spectrum-sax1v1k-askey-rt5010w-openwrt-support/149923/6
• RX/TX is working, u-boot bootwait is active, secure boot is enabled.
```
Installation Instructions:
**Most part of the installation is performed from an initramfs image.**
Boot initramfs : Using serial connection
1. Boot up the device and wait till it displays "VERIFY_IB: Success. verify IB ok"
2. Once that message appears,
login with username 'root'
password serial number of your router in uppercase.
3. Use vi to paste the 'open.sh' script from @MeisterLone github on your device
https://github.com/MeisterLone/Askey-RT5010W-D187-REV6/blob/master/Patch/open.sh
4. chmod 755 open.sh
5. ./open.sh
6. Set your ip to 192.168.0.1
7. Run a TFTP server and host the initramfs image on the TFTP server and name it "recovery.img"
8. Reboot device. On boot it will try TFTP.
Install OpenWrt from initramfs image:
1. Use SCP (or other way) to transfer OpenWrt factory image
2. Connect to device using SSH (on a LAN port)
3. Flash firmware: sysupgrade
# sysupgrade -n -v /tmp/openwrt_sysupgrade.bin
4. Set U-boot env variable: bootcmd
# fw_setenv bootcmd "run fix_uboot; run setup_and_boot"
5. Reboot the device
# reboot
6. Once device is booted, residue of previous firmware will prevent openwrt to work properly.
Factory Reset is MUST required
# Once serial console is displaying to login, hold reset button for 10 sec
7. Now everything should be operational.
Note: this PR adds only single partition support, that means sysupgrade is
upgrading the current rootfs partition

An populated serial header is onboard, format is
1.25mm 4p (DF13A-4P-1.25H)
RX/TX is working, bootwait is active, secure boot is not
enabled.
The root password of the stock firmware is unknown,
but failsafe mode can be entered to reset the password.
Installation Instructions:
- obtain serial access
- stop auto boot (press "4", Entr boot command line
interface)
- setenv active_fw 0 (to boot from the primary rootfs,
or set to 1 to boot from the secondary rootfs
partition)
- saveenv
- tftpboot the initramfs image
- bootm
- copy
openwrt-qualcommax-ipq60xx-netgear_wax214-squashfs-factory.ubi
to the device
- write the image to the NAND:
- cat /proc/mtd and look for rootfs partition (should
be mtd11,
or mtd12 if you choose active_fw 1)
- ubiformat /dev/mtd11 -f -y
openwrt-qualcommax-ipq60xx-netgear_wax214-squashfs-factory.ubi
- reboot
Note: the firmware is senao-based. But I was unable to build
a valid senao-header into the image.
Maybe they changed the header format and senaoFW isn't
working any more.

OpenWRT Installation
1. Simplest way is just do upgrade from webpage with *factory.img
2. You can also do it with standard tool for Netgear's debricking - NMPRFlash
3. Most advanced way is to open device , connect to UART console and :
- Prepare OpenWrt initramfs image in TFTP server root (server IP 192.168.1.10)
- Connect serial console (115200,8n1) to UART connector
- Connect TFTP server to RJ-45 port
- Stop in u-Boot and run u-Boot command:
> setenv serverip 192.168.1.10
> set fdt_high 0x85000000
> tftpboot 0x83000000 openwrt-ipq40xx-generic-netgear_lbr20-initramfs-zImage.itb
> bootm 0x83000000
- Login via ssh
- upload or download *sysupgrade.bin ( like wget ... or scp transfer)
- Install image via "sysupgrade -n" (like “sysupgrade -n /tmp/openwrt-ipq40xx-generic-netgear_lbr20-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin”)
Back to Stock
- Download firmware from official Netgear's webpage , it will be *.img file after decompressing.
- Use NMRPFlash tool ( detailed insructions on project page https://github.com/jclehner/nmrpflash )
Open the case
- Unscrew nuts and remove washers from antenna's conectors.
- There are two Torx T10 screws under the label next to antenna conectors. You have to unglue this label from left and right corner to get it
- Two parts of shell covers will slide out from eachother , you have to unglue two small rubber pads and namplate sticker on bottom to do that.
- PCB is screwed with 4Pcs of Torx T10 screws
- Before lifting up PCB remove pigtiles for LTE antennas and release them from PCB and radiator (black and white wires)
- On other side of PCB ,in left bottom corner there is already soldered with 4 pins UART connector for console. Counting from left it is +3,3V , TX , RX ,GND (reffer to this picture: https://i.ibb.co/Pmrf9KB/20240116-103524.jpg )

* UART: Marked J9003 VCC TX RX GND, beginning from "1". 3.3v, 115200n8
* Power: 19 VDC, 3.1 A
Installation:
* Flashing OpenWrt is done in two steps:
a) Flash *-squashfs-web-ui-factory.img from stock UI (thanks to @wangyu-).
This writes an initramfs based OpenWrt image onto the RAX120v2
b) From OpenWrt flash the *-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin using LuCI or the commandline
* U-Boot allows booting an initramfs image via TFTP:
- Set ip of your PC to 192.168.1.100
- At the serial console interrupt boot at "Hit any key to stop autoboot:"
- In u-boot run `tftpsrv`
- On your PC send the OpenWrt initramfs image:
tftp 192.168.1.1 -m binary -c put openwrt-ipq807x-generic-netgear_rax120v2-initramfs-uImage.itb
Make 5G Aquantia phy work:
For the 5G port labeled 'lan5' to work a firmware is needed. This can be loaded in
u-boot by writing the firmware to the correct mtd partition.
The firmware file found in the Netgear stock firmware under /lib/firmware/ named
'AQR-G3_v4.3.C-AQR_DNI_DR-EQ35AX8-R-prov1_ID23888_VER1311.cld' is needed and has to
be converted to a MBN file.
The `mkheader.py` script used here can be found in the Netgear V1.2.8.40 GPL source,
under 'git_home/u-boot.git/tools/mkheader.py'
Convert the CLD file to MBN using:
$ python2 mkheader.py 0x44000000 0x13 <*.cld file> aqr_4.3.C.mbn
This MBN file can then be flashed to the MTD partition to be used by u-boot.
The necessary files can also be found in
https://github.com/boretom/openwrt-fork/tree/rax120v2/aquantia-firmware
* Write MBN file to MTD partition to be loaded automatically by u-boot:
U-boot automatically tries to load the firmware from nand at address 0x7e00000 which
corresponds to `/dev/mtd25` in OpenWrt.
- find ETHPHYFW partition while running OpenWrt (expected: /dev/mtd25)
$ fgrep -i 'ethphyfw' /proc/mtd
mtd25: 00080000 00020000 "ethphyfw
- copy mbn file to /tmp/ folder of the router
$ scp aqr-v4.3.C.mbn 192.168.1.1:/tmp/
- write mbn file to ethphyfw partition
$ mtd write /tmp/aqr_v4.3.C.mbn /dev/mtd25
Revert to stock firmware:
* Flash the stock firmware to the bootloader using TFTP/NMRP.

The upstream board-2.bin file in the linux-firmware.git
repository for the QCA4019 contains a packed board-2.bin
for this device for both 2.4G and 5G wifis. This isn't
something that the ath10k driver supports.
Until this feature either gets implemented - which is
very unlikely -, or the upstream boardfile is mended
(both, the original submitter and ath10k-firmware
custodian have been notified). OpenWrt will go back
and use its own bespoke boardfile. This unfortunately
means that 2.4G and on some revisions the 5G WiFi is
not available in the initramfs image for this device.

The ZTE MF287+ is a LTE router used (exclusively?) by the network operator
"3". The MF287 (i.e. non-plus aka 3Neo) is also supported (the only
difference is the LTE modem)
Specifications
==============
SoC: IPQ4018
RAM: 256MiB
Flash: 8MiB SPI-NOR + 128MiB SPI-NAND
LAN: 4x GBit LAN
LTE: ZTE Cat12 (MF287+) / ZTE Cat6 (MF287)
WiFi: 802.11a/b/g/n/ac SoC-integrated
MAC addresses
=============
LAN: from config + 2
WiFi 1: from config
WiFi 2: from config + 1
Installation
============
Option 1 - TFTP
---------------
TFTP installation using UART is preferred. Disassemble the device and
connect serial. Put the initramfs image as openwrt.bin to your TFTP server
and configure a static IP of 192.168.1.100. Load the initramfs image by
typing:
setenv serverip 192.168.1.100
setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1
tftpboot 0x82000000 openwrt.bin
bootm 0x82000000
From this intiramfs boot you can take a backup of the currently installed
partitions as no vendor firmware is available for download:
ubiattach -m14
cat /dev/ubi0_0 > /tmp/ubi0_0
cat /dev/ubi0_1 > /tmp/ubi0_1
Copy the files /tmp/ubi0_0 and /tmp/ubi0_1 somewhere save.
Once booted, transfer the sysupgrade image and run sysupgrade. You might
have to delete the stock volumes first:
ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N ubi_rootfs
ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N kernel
Option 2 - From stock firmware
------------------------------
The installation from stock requires an exploit first. The exploit consists
of a backup file that forces the firmware to download telnetd via TFTP from
192.168.0.22 and run it. Once exploited, you can connect via telnet and
login as admin:admin.
The exploit will be available at the device wiki page.
Once inside the stock firmware, you can transfer the -factory.bin file to
/tmp by using "scp" from the stock frmware or "tftp".
ZTE has blocked writing to the NAND. Fortunately, it's easy to allow write
access - you need to read from one file in /proc. Once done, you need to
erase the UBI partition and flash OpenWrt. Before performing the operation,
make sure that mtd13 is the partition labelled "rootfs" by calling
"cat /proc/mtd".
Complete commands:
cd /tmp
tftp -g -r factory.bin 192.168.0.22
cat /proc/driver/sensor_id
flash_erase /dev/mtd13 0 0
dd if=/tmp/factory.bin of=/dev/mtdblock13 bs=131072
Afterwards, reboot your device and you should have a working OpenWrt
installation.
Restore Stock
=============
Option 1 - via UART
-------------------
Boot an OpenWrt initramfs image via TFTP as for the initial installation.
Transfer the two backed-up files to your box to /tmp.
Then, run the following commands - replace $kernel_length and $rootfs_size
by the size of ubi0_0 and ubi0_1 in bytes.
ubiattach -m 14
ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N kernel
ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N rootfs
ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N rootfs_data
ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -N kernel -s $kernel_length
ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -N ubi_rootfs -s $rootfs_size
ubiupdatevol /dev/ubi0_0 /tmp/ubi0_0
ubiupdatevol /dev/ubi0_1 /tmp/ubi0_1
Option 2 - from within OpenWrt
------------------------------
This option requires to flash an initramfs version first so that access
to the flash is possible. This can be achieved by sysupgrading to the
recovery.bin version and rebooting. Once rebooted, you are again in a
default OpenWrt installation, but no partition is mounted.
Follow the commands from Option 1 to flash back to stock.
LTE Modem
=========
The LTE modem is similar to other ZTE devices and controls some more LEDs
and battery management.
Configuring the connection using uqmi works properly, the modem
provides three serial ports and a QMI CDC ethernet interface.

Currently, ipq807x only covers Qualcomm IPQ807x SoC-s.
However, Qualcomm also has IPQ60xx and IPQ50xx SoC-s under the AX WiSoC-s
and they share a lot of stuff with IPQ807x, especially IPQ60xx so to avoid
duplicating kernel patches and everything lets make a common target with
per SoC subtargets.
Start doing that by renaming ipq807x to qualcommax so that dependencies
on ipq807x target can be updated.
