Specification: SoC: MediaTek MT7628AN RAM: 128 MB, ESMT M14D1G1664A (DDR2) Flash: 32MB, Winbond 25Q256JVFQ (Dual Boot, SPI) Switch: MediaTek MT7628AN, 5 ports 100 Mbps WiFi: MediaTek MT7603 2T2R/2.4GHz 802.11n and MediaTek MT7613AEN 2T2R/5GHz 802.11ac USB: 1 port USB 2.0 GPIO: 3 buttons (Wi-Fi, Reset, FN), 4 LEDs (Power, Internet, FN, Wi-Fi), USB port power controls Disassembly: At the bottom there are 4 screws hidden by rubber feet. After removing the screws, pry the gray plastic part around (it is secured with latches) and remove it. Serial Interface: The serial interface can be connected to the 4 pin dots to the left of the flash. Pins (from LEDs to LAN ports): 3.3V (do not connect) TX RX GND Settings: 115200, 8N1 Flashing via OEM recovery software: 1. Download the OEM recovery software from the manufacturer's website 2. Download the firmware image (for OpenWRT it is *-squashfs-factory.bin), rename it to KN-1711_recovery.bin 3. Replace the file in the fw folder OEM recovery software with the file from step 2. 4. Run the OEM recovery software and follow the instructions. Flashing via TFTP: 1. Connect your PC and router to port 1-4, configure PC interface using IP 192.168.1.2, mask 255.255.255.252 2. Serve the firmware image (for OpenWRT it is *-squashfs-factory.bin) renamed to KN-1711_recovery.bin via TFTP 3. Power up the router while pressing Reset button on the back 4. Release Restart button when Power LED starts blinking To revert back to OEM firmware: The return to the OEM firmware is carried out by using the methods described above with the help of the appropriate firmware image. When using OEM bootloader, the firmware image size cannot exceed the size of one OEM «Firmware_x» partition or Kernel + rootFS size. Signed-off-by: Anton Yu.

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.
