TP-Link EAP610-Outdoor is a 802.11ax AP claiming AX1800 support. It is
wall or pole mountable, and rated for outdoor use. It can only be
powered via PoE.
Specifications:
---------------
* CPU: Qualcomm IPQ6018 Quad core Cortex-A53
* RAM: 512 MB
* Storage: ESMT PSR1GA30DT 128MB NAND
* Ethernet:
* Gigabit RJ45 port with PoE input
* WLAN:
* 2.4GHz/5GHz
* LEDs:
* Multi-color System LED (Green/Amber)
* Buttons:
* 1x Reset
* UART: 4-pin unpopulated header
* 1.8 V level, Pinout 1 - TX, 2 - RX, 3 - GND, 4 - 1.8V
Installation:
=============
Web UI method
-------------
Set up the device using the vendor's web UI. After that go to
Management->SSH and enable the "SSH Login" checkbox. Select "Save".
The connect to the machine via SSH:
ssh -o hostkeyalgorithms=ssh-rsa <ip_of_device>
Disable signature verification:
cliclientd stopcs
Rename the "-web-ui-factory" image to something less than 63
characters, maintaining the ".bin" suffix.
* Go to System -> Firmware Update.
* Under "New Firmware File", click "Browse" and select the image
* Select "Update" and confirm by clicking "OK".
If the update fails, the web UI should show an error message.
Otherwise, the device should reboot into OpenWRT.
TFTP method
-----------
To flash via tftp, first place the initramfs image on the TFTP server.
setenv serverip <ip of tftp server>
setenv ipaddr <ip in same subnet as tftp server>
tftpboot tplink_eap610-outdoor-initramfs-uImage.itb
bootm
This should boot OpenWRT. Once booted, flash the sysupgrade.bin image
using either luci or the commandline.
The tplink2022 image format
============================
The vendor images of this device are packaged in a format that does
not match any previous tplink formats. In order for flashing to work
from the vendor's web UI, firmware updates need to be packaged in
this format. The `tplink-mkimage-2022.py` is provided for this
purpose.
This script can also analyze vendor images, and extract the required
"support" string. This string is checked by the vendor firmware, and
images with a missing or incorrect string are rejected.

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!
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.
