ELECOM WRC-X1800GS is a 2.4/5 GHz band 11ax (Wi-Fi 6) router, based on
MT7621A.
Specification:
- SoC : MediaTek MT7621A
- RAM : DDR3 256 MiB
- Flash : RAW-NAND 128 MiB (Macronix MX30LF1G28AD-TI)
- WLAN : 2.4/5 GHz 2T2R (MediaTek MT7915D)
- Ethernet : 5x 10/100/1000 Mbps
- switch : MediaTek MT7530 (SoC)
- LEDs/Keys (GPIO) : 7x/4x
- UART : pin-header on PCB ("J5")
- arrangement : 3.3V, TX, RX, NC, GND from tri-angle marking
- settings : 115200n8
- Power : 12 VDC, 1 A
Flash instruction using initramfs-factory image:
1. Boot WRC-X1800GS normally with "Router" mode
2. Access to "http://192.168.2.1/" and open firmware update page
("ファームウェア更新")
3. Select the OpenWrt initramfs-factory image and click apply ("適用")
button
4. After flashing initramfs-factory image and reboot, upload the
sysupgrade image and perform sysupgrade with it
5. Wait ~120 seconds to complete flashing
Notes:
- WRC-X1800GS has 2x os images. Those are switched on every firmware
updating on stock firmware, but dual-boot feature on this device
cannot be handled on OpenWrt. So the 1st image is always used on
OpenWrt.
This is controlled by "bootnum" variable embedded in "persist"
partition (addr: 0x4).
- WRC-X1800GS has 2x HW revisions. There are some small changes, but the
same DeviceTree in stock firmware is used for both revisions.
On this support of WRC-X1800GS, 2x green:wlan-2g-N LEDs are defined
for each revision and the same default triggers are set.
MAC addresses:
LAN : 38:97:A4:xx:xx:38 (Factory, 0x1fdfa (hex) / Ubootenv, ethaddr (text))
WAN : 38:97:A4:xx:xx:3B (Factory, 0x1fdf4 (hex))
2.4 GHz: 38:97:A4:xx:xx:39
5 GHz : 38:97:A4:xx:xx:3A

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.
