2.4GHz 800Mbps
5GHz 1733Mbps

Hardware specifications:
SoC: MT7621A 2 cores 4 threads @880MHz
WiFi2G: MT7615E 2G 4x4 b/g/n
Wifi5G: MT7615E 5G 4x4 n/ac
DRAM: 128MB DDR3 @1200mhz
Flash: 16MB MX25L12805D SPI-NOR
LAN/WAN: MT7530 1x1000M

MAC addresses as verified by OEM firmware:
use address source
Lan/W5G *:B0 factory 0x8004 (label)
W2G *:B4 factory 0x0

Installation:

Asus windows recovery tool:

install the Asus firmware restoration utility
unplug the router, hold the reset button while powering it on
release when the power LED flashes slowly
specify a static IP on your computer:
IP address: 192.168.1.75
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
Start the Asus firmware restoration utility, specify the factory image
and press upload
Do not power off the device after OpenWrt has booted until the LED flashing.
TFTP Recovery method:

set computer to a static ip, 192.168.1.2
connect computer to the LAN 1 port of the router
hold the reset button while powering on the router for a few seconds
send firmware image using a tftp client; i.e from linux:
$ tftp
tftp> binary
tftp> connect 192.168.1.1
tftp> put factory.bin
tftp> quit

OpenWrt logo

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.

Sunshine!

Development

To build your own firmware you need a GNU/Linux, BSD or MacOSX 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 python3.6+ rsync subversion unzip which

Quickstart

  1. Run ./scripts/feeds update -a to obtain all the latest package definitions defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default

  2. Run ./scripts/feeds install -a to install symlinks for all obtained packages into package/feeds/

  3. Run make menuconfig to select your preferred configuration for the toolchain, target system & firmware packages.

  4. Run make to 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.

The main repository uses multiple sub-repositories to manage packages of 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.

  • LuCI Web Interface: Modern and modular interface to control the device via a web browser.

  • OpenWrt Packages: Community repository of ported packages.

  • OpenWrt Routing: Packages specifically focused on (mesh) routing.

  • OpenWrt Video: Packages specifically focused on display servers and clients (Xorg and Wayland).
