Asus PL-AC56 Powerline Range Extender Rev.A1 (in kit with Asus PL-E56P Powerline-slave) Hardware specifications: Board: AP152 SoC: QCA9563 2.4G n 3x3 PLC: QCA7500 WiFi: QCA9882 5G ac 2x2 Switch: QCA8337 3x1000M Flash: 16MB 25L12835F SPI-NOR DRAM SoC: 64MB w9751g6kb-25 DRAM PLC: 128MB w631gg6kb-15 Clocks: CPU:775.000MHz, DDR:650.000MHz, AHB:258.333MHz, Ref:25.000MHz MAC addresses as verified by OEM firmware: use address source Lan/Wan/PLC *:10 art 0x1002 (label) 2G *:10 art 0x1000 5G *:14 art 0x5000 Important notes: the PLC firmware has to be provided and copied manually onto the device! The PLC here has no dedicated flash, thus the firmware file has to be uploaded to the PLC controller at every system start the PLC functionality is managed by the script /etc/init.d/plc_basic, a very basic script based on the the one from Netadair (netadair dot de) Installation: Asus windows recovery tool: have to have the latest Asus firmware flashed before continuing! 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: have to have the latest Asus firmware flashed before continuing! set computer to a static ip, 192.168.1.75 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 do NOT power off the device after OpenWrt has booted until the LED flashing Additional notes: the pairing buttons have to have pressed for at least half a second, it doesn't matter on which plc device (master or slave) first it is possible to pair the devices without the button-pairing requirement simply by pressing reset on the slave device. This will default to the firmware settings, which is also how the plc_basic script is setting up the master device, i.e. configuring it to firmware defaults the PL-E56P slave PLC has its dedicated 4MByte SPI, thus it is capable to store all firmware currently available. Note that some other slave devices are not guarantied to have the capacity for the newer ~1MByte firmware blobs! To have a good overlook about the slave device, here are its specs: same QCA7500 PLC controller, same w631gg6kb-15 128MB RAM, 25L3233F 4MB SPI-NOR and an AR8035-A 1000M-Transceiver Signed-off-by: Tamas Balogh <tamasbalogh@hotmail.com> |
