Specs (same as in v1): - MT7628AN (575 MHz) - 64MB RAM - 8MB of flash (SPI NOR) - 1x 10/100Mbps Ethernet (MT7628AN built-in switch with vlan) - 1x 2.4GHz wifi (MT7628AN) - 1x 5Ghz wifi (MT7612E) - 4x LEDs (5 GPIO-controlled) - 1x reset button - 1x WPS button The only and important difference between v1 & v3 is in flash memory layout, so pls don't interchange these 2 builds! Installation through web-ui (on OEM factory firmware): 1. Visit http://tplinkrepeater.net or the configured IP address of your RE305 v3 (default 192.168.0.254). 2. Log in with the password you've set during initial setup of the RE305 (there is no default password). 3. Go to Settings -> System Tools -> Firmware upgrade 4. Click Browse and select the OpenWRT image with factory.bin suffix (not sysupgrade.bin) 5. A window with a progress bar will appear. Wait until it completes. 6. The RE305 will reboot into OpenWRT and serve DHCP requests on the ethernet port. 7. Connect an RJ45 cable from the RE305 to your computer and access LuCI at http://192.168.1.1/ to configure (or use ssh). Disassembly: Just unscrew 4 screws in the corners & take off the back cover. Serial is exposed to the right side of the main board (in the middle) and marked with TX/RX/3V3/GND, but the holes are filled with solder. Installation through serial: 1. connect trough serial (1n8, baudrate=57600) 2. setup the TFTP server and connect it via ethernet (ipaddr=192.168.0.254 of device, serverip=192.168.0.184 - your pc) 3. boot from a initramfs image first (choose 1 in the bootloader options) 4. test it a bit with that, then proceed to run sysupgrade build MAC addresses as verified by OEM firmware: use OpenWrt address reference LAN eth0 *:d2 label 2g wlan0 *:d1 label - 1 5g wlan1 *:d0 label - 2 The label MAC address can be found in config 0x2008.

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
-
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.
Related Repositories
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.
