Product name: Wavlink WL-WN536AX6 Rev a "Mighty LX2" Product link: https://www.wavlink.com/en_us/product/WL-WN536AX6.html Specifications: SOC: MT7986AV RAM: 512MB DDR4 Flash: 128MB SPI NAND Ports: 4 LAN (1G) & 1 WAN (2.5G) WIFI: MT7976PN + MT7975N LEDs: 8 (STATUS, WIFI, WAN, LAN1, LAN2, LAN3, LAN4, PWR) USB: 1 (3.0) MAC table, same as stock firmware: LAN: 80:3F:5D:xx:xx:x1 partition "hw" at 0x44e (ASCII) WAN: 80:3F:5D:xx:xx:x2 partition "hw" at 0x460 (ASCII) 2G: 80:3F:5D:xx:xx:x3 5G: 80:3F:5D:xx:xx:x4 * Installation with OEM WebUI: Note: Make sure PC is connected on LAN1 port. The OEM firmware has an unknown root password and settings are kept after upgrading firmware. Therefore, a customized Openwrt firmware is needed to remove the root password on login, by adding `passwd -d root` to /etc/init.d/bootcount. The WebUI does a filename check so the customized firmware is named accordingly. 1. Download modified firmware file `WAVLINK_WN536AX6-A_M36AX6_V250320-WO-437baca-modified.bin` from https://github.com/ses1er/firmware-misc/tree/main/wavlink/wl-wn536ax6a 2. Log into WebUI on default IP: http://192.168.20.1 3. Browse to More (top menu) -> System -> Firmware Upgrade. 4. Under `Local Upgrade` section, check the device to be upgraded and upload downloaded modified firmware. Click `UPLOAD FILE`, then `APPLY` 5. Wait about 2 minutes (ignore progress bar), and browse to http://192.168.20.1. You should see LUCI login page. Username is root and no password. 6. Browse to `System -> Backup/Flash Firmware`, click on `Flash Image`, click `Browse` and locate `openwrt-mediatek-filogic-wavlink_wl-wn536ax6-a-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin` file. 7. Uncheck `Keep settings and retain the current configuration` and click `Continue`. 8. Router will now be set to IP 192.168.1.1 which is the Openwrt default. * Installation with UART: Note: Having UART connected while cold booting the device will result in a kernel panic when initializing wifi. I've found this workaround: 1. Power off the device and ensure UART is not connected to PC. 2. Power up the device, when lights come on, plug in UART. 3. Warm boots and soft restarts will not cause kernel panic for the duration of device being powered on. Repeat steps for subsequent cold boots. 1. Configure TFTP server with IP 192.168.1.66. Copy `openwrt-mediatek-filogic-wavlink_wl-wn536ax6a-initramfs.itb` to TFTP root. 2. Interrupt boot by pressing 0. 3. Run the following in Uboot console: `setenv serverip 192.168.1.66; setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1; tftpboot 0x46000000 openwrt-mediatek-filogic-wavlink_wl-wn536ax6-a-initramfs.itb; bootm` 4. Transfer `openwrt-mediatek-filogic-wavlink_wl-wn536ax6-a-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin` to device: (`scp -O openwrt-mediatek-filogic-wavlink_wl-wn536ax6-a-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin root@192.168.1.1:/tmp/`) 5. Run the following on device: `sysupgrade -n /tmp/openwrt-mediatek-filogic-wavlink_wl-wn536ax6-a-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin` Signed-off-by: Qing W. <ses1er@gmail.com> Tested-by: Martin Blumenstingl <martin.blumenstingl@googlemail.com> Link: https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/20760 Signed-off-by: Hauke Mehrtens <hauke@hauke-m.de> |

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.
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.
