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.

Netgear WAX218 is a 802.11ax AP claiming AX3600 support. It is wall
or ceiling mountable. It can be powered via PoE, or a 12 V adapter.
The board has footprints for 2.54mm UART headers. They're difficult to
solder because the GND is connected to a large copper plane. Only try
soldering if you are very skilled. Otherwise, use pogo pins.

Installation:
=============
Web UI method
-------------
Flashing OpenWRT using the vendor's Web UI is problematic on this
device. The u-boot mechanism for communicating the active rootfs is
antiquated and unreliable. Instead of setting the kernel commandline,
it relies on patching the DTS partitions of the nand node. The way
partitions are patched is incompatible with newer kernels.
Newer kernels use the SMEM partition table, which puts "rootfs" on
mtd12. The vendor's Web UI will flash to either mtd12 or mtd14. One
reliable way to boot from mtd14 and avoid boot loops is to use an
initramfs image.
1. In the factory web UI, navigate to System Manager -> Firmware.
2. In the "Local Firmware Upgrade" section, click Browse
3. Navigate and select the 'web-ui-factory.fit' image
4. Click "Upload"
5. On the following page, click on "Proceed"
The flash proceeds at this point and the system will reboot
automatically to OpenWRT.
6. Flash the 'nand-sysupgrade.bin' using Luci or the commandline
SSH method
----------
Enable SSH using the CLI or Web UI. The root account is locked out to
ssh, and the admin account defaults to Netgear's CLI application.
So we need to get creative:
First, make sure the device boots from the second firmware partition:
ssh -okexalgorithms=diffie-hellman-group14-sha1 admin@<ipaddr> \
/usr/sbin/fw_setenv active_fw 1
Then reboot the device, and run the update:
scp -O -o kexalgorithms=diffie-hellman-group14-sha1 \
-o hostkeyalgorithms=ssh-rsa \
netgear_wax218-squashfs-nand-factory.ubi \
admin@<ipaddr>:/tmp/openwrt.ubi
ssh -okexalgorithms=diffie-hellman-group14-sha1 admin@<ipaddr> \
/usr/sbin/ubiformat /dev/mtd12 -f /tmp/openwrt.ubi
ssh -okexalgorithms=diffie-hellman-group14-sha1 admin@<ipaddr> \
/usr/sbin/fw_setenv active_fw 0
Now reboot the device, and it should boot into a ready-to-use OpenWRT.

Installation
------------
0. Connect to the device
Plug your computer into LAN2 (1000Mbps connection required).
If you use the LAN1/POE port, set your computer to force a 100Mbps link.
Connect to the device via TTL (Serial) 115200n8.
Locate the header (or solder pads) labeled 9X,
near the Ethernet jacks/transformers.
There should be an arrow on the other side of the header marking.
The connections should go like this:
(from the arrow to the 9X text): NC - TXD - GND - RXD - NC
1. Prepare for installation
While the AP is powering up, interrupt the startup process.
MAKE SURE TO CHECK YOUR CURRENT PARTITION!
If you see: "Current Partition is : partB" or
"Need to switch partition from partA to partB",
you have to force the device into partA mode, before continuing.
This can be done by changing the PKRstCnt to 5 and resetting the device.
setenv PKRstCnt 5
saveenv
reset
After you interrupt the startup process again,
you should see: Need to switch partition from partB to partA
You can now continue to the next step.
If you see: "Current Partition is : partA",
you can continue to the next step.
2. Prevent partition switching.
To prevent the device from switching partitions,
we are going to modify the startup command.
set bootcmd "setenv PKRstCnt 0; saveenv; bootipq"
setenv
3. First boot
Now, we have to boot the OpenWrt intifs.
The easiest way to do this is by using Tiny PXE.
You can also use the normal U-Boot tftp method.
Run "bootp" this will get an IP from the DHCP server
and possibly the firmware image.
If it doesn't download the firmware image, run "tftpboot".
Now run "bootm" to run the image.
You might see:
"ERROR: new format image overwritten - must RESET the board to recover"
this means that the image you are trying to load is too big.
Use a smaller image for the initial boot.
4. Install OpenWrt from initfs
Once you are booted into OpenWrt,
transfer the OpenWrt upgrade image and
use sysupgrade to install OpenWrt to the device.

A poulated serial header is onboard (J1004)
the connector size is a 4-pin 2.0 mm JST PH.
RX/TX is working, u-boot bootwait is active, secure boot is enabled.
Notes:
- Serial is completely deactivated in the stock firmware image.
- This commit adds only single partition support, that means
sysupgrade is upgrading the current rootfs partition.
- Installation can be done by serial connection or
SSH access on OEM firmware
Installation Instructions:
Most part of the installation is performed from an initramfs image
running OpenWrt, and there are two options to boot it.
Boot initramfs option 1: Using serial connection (3.3V)
1. Stop auto boot to get to U-boot shell
2. Transfer initramfs image to device
(openwrt-ipq807x-generic-dynalink_dl-wrx36-initramfs-uImage.itb)
Tested using TFTP and a FAT-formatted USB flash drive.
3. Boot the initramfs image
# bootm
Boot initramfs option 2: From SSH access on OEM firmware
1. Copy the initramfs image to a FAT-formatted flash drive
(tested on single-partition drive) and connect it to device USB port.
2. Change boot command so it loads the initramfs image on next boot
Fallback to OEM firmware is provided.
# fw_setenv bootcmd 'usb start && fatload usb 0:1 0x44000000 openwrt-ipq807x-generic-dynalink_dl-wrx36-initramfs-uImage.itb && bootm 0x44000000; bootipq'
3. Reboot the device to boot the initramfs
# reboot
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. Check MTD partition table.
rootfs and rootfs_1 should be mtd18 and mtd20
depending on current OEM slot.
# cat /proc/mtd
4. Do a ubiformat to both rootfs partitions:
# ubiformat /dev/mtd18 -y -f /path_to/factory_image
# ubiformat /dev/mtd20 -y -f /path_to/factory_image
5. Set U-boot env variable: mtdids
# fw_setenv mtdids 'nand0=nand0'
6. Get offset of mtd18 to determine current OEM slot
- If current OEM slot is 1, offset is 16777216 (0x1000000)
- If current OEM slot is 2, offset is 127926272 (0x7a00000)
# cat /sys/class/mtd/mtd18/offset
7. Set U-boot env variable: mtdparts
If current OEM slot is 1, run:
# fw_setenv mtdparts 'mtdparts=nand0:0x6100000@0x1000000(fs),0x6100000@0x7a00000(fs_1)'
If current OEM slot is 2, run:
# fw_setenv mtdparts 'mtdparts=nand0:0x6100000@0x7a00000(fs),0x6100000@0x1000000(fs_1)'
8. Set U-boot env variable: bootcmd
# fw_setenv bootcmd 'setenv bootargs console=ttyMSM0,115200n8 ubi.mtd=rootfs rootfstype=squashfs rootwait; ubi part fs; ubi read 0x44000000 kernel; bootm 0x44000000#config@rt5010w-d350-rev0'
9. Reboot the device
# reboot

Installation instructions:
Obtaining SSH access is mandatory
https://openwrt.org/inbox/toh/xiaomi/ax9000#obtain_ssh_access
Installation is done by the ubiformat method, through SSH:
1. Open an SSH shell to the router
2. Copy the file openwrt-ipq807x-generic-xiaomi_ax9000-initramfs-factory.ubi to the /tmp directory
3. Check which rootfs partition is your router booted in (0 = rootfs | 1 = rootfs_1):
nvram get flag_boot_rootfs
4. Find the rootfs and rootfs_1 mtd indexes respectively:
cat /proc/mtd
Please confirm if mtd21 and mtd22 are the correct indexes from above!
5. Use the command ubiformat to flash the opposite mtd with UBI image:
If nvram get flag_boot_rootfs returned 0:
ubiformat /dev/mtd22 -y -f /tmp/openwrt-ipq807x-generic-xiaomi_ax9000-initramfs-factory.ubi && nvram set flag_boot_rootfs=1 && nvram set flag_last_success=1 && nvram commit
otherwise:
ubiformat /dev/mtd21 -y -f /tmp/openwrt-ipq807x-generic-xiaomi_ax9000-initramfs-factory.ubi && nvram set flag_boot_rootfs=0 && nvram set flag_last_success=0 && nvram commit
6. Reboot the device by:
reboot
Previous commands flashed an ubinized OpenWrt initramfs that will serve as the intermediate step
since OpenWrt uses unified rootfs in order to fully utilize NAND and provide enough space for packages.
Continue in order to pernamently flash OpenWrt:
7. SSH into OpenWrt from one of the LAN ports
8. Copy the file openwrt-ipq807x-generic-xiaomi_ax9000-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin to the /tmp directory
9. Sysupgrade the device:
sysupgrade -n /tmp/openwrt-ipq807x-generic-xiaomi_ax9000-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
Device will reboot with OpenWrt, and then sysupgrade can be used to upgrade the device when desired.
