Flash instruction using initramfs-factory.bin image (StockFW WebUI):
1. Boot WG1400HP with router mode normally
2. Access to the WebUI ("http://aterm.me/" or "http://192.168.0.1/") on
the device and open firmware update page ("ファームウェア更新")
3. Select the OpenWrt initramfs-factory.bin image and click update
("更新") button
4. After updating, the device will be rebooted and booted with OpenWrt
initramfs image
5. On the initramfs image, upload (or download) uboot.bin and
sysupgrade.bin image to the device
6. Replace the bootloader with a uboot.bin image
mtd write <uboot.bin image> bootloader
7. Perform sysupgrade with a sysupgrade.bin image
sysupgrade <sysupgrade image>
8. Wait ~120 seconds to complete flashing
Flash instruction using initramfs-factory.bin image (bootloader CLI):
1. Connect and open serial console
2. Power on WG1400HP and interrupt bootloader by ESC key
3. Login to the bootloader CLI with a password "chiron"
4. Start TFTP server by "tftpd" command
5. Upload initramfs-factory.bin via tftp from your computer
example (Windows): tftp -i 192.168.0.1 PUT initramfs-factory.bin
6. Boot initramfs image by "boot" command
7. On the initramfs image, back up the stock bootloader and firmware if
needed
8. Upload (or download) uboot.bin and sysupgrade.bin image to the device
9. Replace the bootloader with a uboot.bin image
10. Perform sysupgrade with a sysupgrade.bin image
11. Wait ~120 seconds to complete flashing
Notes:
- All LEDs are connected to the TI TCA6416A (marking: PH416A) I2C
Expander chip.
- The stock bootloader requires an unknown filesystem on firmware area
in the flash. Booting of OpenWrt from that filesystem cannot be
handled, so the bootloader needs to be replaced to mainline U-Boot
before OpenWrt installation.

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.

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
-
Run
./scripts/feeds update -ato obtain all the latest package definitions defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default -
Run
./scripts/feeds install -ato install symlinks for all obtained packages into package/feeds/ -
Run
make menuconfigto select your preferred configuration for the toolchain, target system & firmware packages. -
Run
maketo 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.

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.
