Hardware
--------
- SOC: MediaTek MT7981
- ram: 256MB DDR3
- FLASH: 16MB SPI-NOR
- Ethernet: 2x1Gb Lan 1x1Gb Wan
- WIFI: MediaTek MT7981 2x2 DBDC 802.11ax 2T2R (2.4/5)
- LEDs: 2xLan 1x Wan 1x WIFI 1xSTATUS
MAC table, same as stock firmware:
LAN: 80:3F:5D:xx:xx:x1 partition "hw" at 0x44e (ASCII)
WAN: 80:3F:5D:xx:xx:x2 partition "hw" at 0x460 (ASCII)
2G: 80:3F:5D:xx:xx:x3 partition "factory" at 0x4 (binary), on label
5G: 80:3F:5D:xx:xx:x3 Same as 2G
Installation Method 1: ssh
--------------------------
1. Connect PC to the lan port. Set the PC IP to 192.168.10.100 if
required.
2. Navigate to http://192.168.10.1/
3. Log into the Wavlink WebGUI. Default username/password is
admin/admin.
4. Use WebGUI to upgrade the firmware to
WAVLINK_WN586X3-A_M86X3A_V240113_WO-GDBYFM-modified.bin
downloaded from
https://github.com/themaverickdm/firmware-misc/tree/main/wavlink/wl-wn586x3
Warning: All settings will be lost!
5. Wait about 5 minutes, and after flashing is completed, log into
the router using (with admin123 as password):
ssh root@192.168.10.1
6. scp the openwrt image file onto the router, usually under /tmp
somewhere.
openwrt-mediatek-filogic-wavlink_wl-wn586x3-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
7. Flash openwrt image file like so:
mtd write \
openwrt-mediatek-filogic-wavlink_wl-wn586x3-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin \
firmware
Warning: Previous firmware will be overwritten!
8. Wait about 5 minutes, and after the flashing is completed, set
the PC IP to 192.168.1.100 if required and log into the router
like so:
ssh root@192.168.1.1
Installation Method 2: u-boot
-----------------------------
1. Connect UART: TX-> 586X3 RX, RX-> 586X3 TX, GND-> 586 GND.
2. Connect PC to the wan (not lan!) port.
3. Setup the tftp server on PC, set IP to 192.168.10.100,
4. Power on the device. Select '2' to upgrade firmware in Uboot.
5. Input the image name and start to upgrade.
