Topic: Planex (PCI) MZK-W04NU Atheros AP81 platform router with USB

The content of this topic has been archived between 24 Mar 2018 and 6 May 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

I got my router in today, opened it up and took high-res photos of the system board.  Both the firmware and the chips confirm it is an Atheros AP81 router platform.

OpenWRT current status

Trunk now has support to flash this router.  See the threads on the Trendnet TEW-652BRP (similar Atheros AP81, but flash is not identical).

1. USB port is working perfect, reports later in the thread.
2. [s]LAN interface is not yet working (eth0).  Linux does not have drivers for the Atheros AR8216 / AR8316 Ethernet switch parts. [/s] A new change checked in SVN 14655 to get the LAN ports working.  So now LAN and WAN ports should be working fine (please provide test feedback).
3. see the Trendnet TEW-652BRP thread for issues with limitations and performance of the ath9k wireless driver.  http://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=18314

I have asked Planex to provide a GPL release for this router including u-boot.  No response so far.

For reference, if you need to flash from u-boot, here is instructions:

ar7100> erase 0xbf050000 +0x770000
ar7100> setenv serverip 192.168.1.254; setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1
ar7100> tftp 0xa0800000 openwrt-ar71xx-mzk-w04nu-squashfs.bin
ar7100> cp.b 0xa0800000 0xbf050000 0x770000
ar7100> reset

You do NOT need to flash from u-boot, you can flash from the web interface.  but one time by accident I managed to flash a build with no working LAN or wifi drivers, so I'm putting instructions here in case anyone else does this wink

Hardware Information

This should have the 3x3 MIMO AR9103 radio chip on it. This is the only consumer retail Atheros AP81 I know of shipping with USB port standard.  This unit also has 8MB of FLASH, most only have 4MB.

High res photos:
http://sites.google.com/site/stephengut … 1_crop.jpg
http://sites.google.com/site/stephengut … _work1.JPG

Note that in these photos I has already moved around the internal antenna cables in the router.  Originally they were all 3 run under the metal tab on the outside edge of the router.  I moved the antenna cables for clearer photos and to untangle them a bit.

The antennas are all 3 removable, use the same Reverse SMA jack as the Trendnet TEW-632BRP, TEW-652BRP and TP-Link TL-WR941ND.  The antennas themselves are about 40% to 50% longer on the Trendnet and T-Link than the Trendnet ones.

The Trendnet and Plenex use nearly identical power supplies in the USA, same Jentec brand but Trendnet is 5v 2.5amp, Planex is 5v 3amp.  FCC ID of the Planex: sj9-mzkw04nu

There does not seem to be any form of http or tftp recovery if you botch the firmware.  If you plan on building your own (untested) firmware, I suggest to get a Nokia DKU-5 cable or other rs232 solution on hand in case you have to flash from u-boot with serial port.  The binaries I distribute: I try to test before I post them, so the are possibly safer.

serial port pinout:  pin 1 (square box) = +3.3V, pin 2 = RX, pin 3 = TX, pin 4 = Ground.  You only need to connect pin 2,3,4 (for a total of three wires).


Sourcing

These routers are selling for $59.99 including free shipping on Amazon.com in both the USA and Japan.  Looks like Planex (PCI) is selling them directly.   [s]UPDATE:  As of Feburary 2, 2009 - Amazon.com no longer has any in stock, hopefully Planex will return to selling them in the USA.[/s] UPDATE:  Feburary 11, 2009 - back on sale on Amazon.com in USA again.

Vendor firmware boot

Since we are still trying to tune the wireless drivers on these devices, I'm preserving full boot logs incase these noisy messages later reveal some secret chipset tuning or features.  Planex vendor firmware version 1.00.03 Build Date Wed Nov 28 21:03:53 JST 2007:

u-boot tftpboot of "KAMIKAZE (bleeding edge, r14147)" with same positive results of the other Planex AP81 model.  Wireless works with ath9k driver.  A machine profile in OpenWRT needs to be built for this model to get the cabled network ports and USB working.

One of these routers is going in the mail to Gabor smile

This router should now be flashable in Trunk with USB support and all.  Trying it out today.

Sadly, it seems in the past week Planex (PCI) may have stop selling this unit in the USA, I will keep checking Amazon and report back if they return to selling them.  For now, seems only sold in Japan.  Was a unique AP81 router with USB and 8MB of flash for $59.99 free shipping.  http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000YDS0YG

FYI:  Amazon.com in USA has these back in stock for $59.99 with free shipping.  The LAN ports are still not working... and ath9k wireless needs some maturing...  but anyone wanting to work on 802.11n support in OpenWRT should consider this router.  Right now it would be an ideal USB host box for LAN... as the USB and WAN Ethernet port work great.

I need a Draft-n compatible router and since this one is not only available, but also cheap and can run OpenWRT and it has USB and a lot of flash, that was an easy choice.

2 questions:

1. Is WDS working? If not, is client mode stable? AP is the only mode I don't use at all.

2. Compared with a Broadcom 4704@266 MHz, how 'fast' is that 400MHz Atheros CPU?
I understand we are moving at the lower bound of useable CPUs here (for running Linux),
so I am not expecting a speed daemon. I just wonder if it's about 50% faster as the MHz
would expect, or much faster or possibly be even slower. I ask because if it's at least as
fast, I'll misuse that router as a wireless Linux embedded controller. For that much money
you don't even get a 802.11g embedded module...

Hello Harald,

Welcome to the bleeding edge... WDS doesn't exist at all in ath9k right now.  It is not a part of the 802.11n standard.  they are open to adding it, but it isn't getting much current attention.  As for client mode, the ath9k driver on this router is actually running poorly in client mode, limiting to 800Kb/second... this issue is being reported to developers and I'm hoping within a few weeks that will be resolved.

I have not benchmarked the CPU.  Can you suggest an easy way to do this... I have a Broadcom LinkSys WRT310N I can compare with... both running OpenWRT.

Right now we are still early in the 802.11n device driver game.  The more people testing and using I think the more likely we have good results... and you clearly see the hardware is attractive for the price. Yet, it isn't ready yet - but the more attention on the subject, the better.

P.S. The vendor firmware that comes with this router, 2.6.15 kernel with binary-only madwifi - should work with WDS, but I haven't tested it.  It does not have the client mode performance issues.  But you would be giving up OpenWRT.  I'm just trying to clarify that the real issue is the level of maturity in the newer totally-free Ath9K driver vs. the older and binary-only madwifi driver.

As for the benchmark: anything simple comparable will do. E.g.:

            # date ; i=0; while [ $i -lt 50000 ] ; do let i=i+1 ; done ; date
           Thu Feb 19 14:16:30 JST 2009
           Thu Feb 19 14:16:57 JST 2009

That's on a BCM4704@266MHz using /bin/ash from busybox-1.4.2-2. If your busybox is not identical, then this is not comparable to yours, but if you have the same OpenWRT release on both of your routers, it's very comparable and would give me a good idea about what performance to expect.

800kB/S is not too bad for a broken client mode and with a good chance of it being fixed. No WDS is a bummer though.
Until WDS is working, client mode will do and I'm helping out where I can to get it into a usable state, although my possibilities are limited to testing and reporting results.

Missing out OpenWRT would not work: it's the main reason I want that router. The built-in applications are not 'good enough' for me since I usually have other opinions on how this and that works (e.g. I like NFS much more than CIFS since there's no Windows machine in this house, but lots of Linux and Macs here).

I haven't had a chance to tinker on the Broadcom, but here is with the Atheros AP81 (I used the Trendnet, but shouldn't matter)  NOTE:  I tippled the loop for more accuracy

Hi RoundSparrow,

How does the Atheros CPU do "heatwise" without a cooling solution @400mhz?
Does it seem to run cool enough?

How does the Atheros CPU do "heatwise" without a cooling solution @400mhz?
Does it seem to run cool enough?

It runs hot.  But I don't know how serious it is as I've not used my routers directly for more than just  a few hours of testing.  the ath9k driver just isn't' working well enough yet, and the vendor firmware isn't to my liking ... and my main AP I run another device wink

I personally think some people overreact to the heat... to me there must be carefully studied proof of instability.  just high temp alone does not mean to me that it is exceeding the design. I think it is designed to run rather hot, they put no heatsink on it - none of the models I have seen for the AP81 routers do.  the ar71xx chip runs up to 680Mhz with some overclocking to 800... so Atheros was pretty conservative putting the ar9130/ar9132 at 400Mhz.

Again, I do not know how serious an issue it is.  A comprehensive review of one of these routers shows they don't draw more than 6 watts of power (gigabit LAN ports draw more power, which the Planex does not have).  See here: http://en.network01.net/modules/newbb/v … mp;forum=2

Since Planex is on vertical I think less an issue... the similar Trendnet is poorly ventilated case in my view.

Many brands and models of routers overheat.  Even the modern Linksys 310N (which I have) has many people post reports on Linksys forum of overheating (Broadcom 266Mhz).  But they have actual failures associated (disconnects, such).

Hey, thanks for all the good info. I have tons of heatsinks laying around, so I'll probably just slap one on mine. Even if its within specs, I get that comfy cozy feeling knowing its just a little farther from crossing the danger line...thats obviously just a personal preference, hehe  smile

I ordered one and it should be here next week sometime, so I expect you to have all these bugs ironed out by then, ok? lol, j/k.

I really appreciate all the effort you put into this. I wish I was better at code, I would enjoy contributing more.

I've uploaded a pre-built firmware for this router based off SVN 14745 here: http://sites.google.com/site/stephengutknecht/

I suggest keeping up on the Trendnet forum thread, most of it applies.

Just got one of these in the mail today smile

RoundSparrow's pre-built package works for me. Wireless performance is acceptable, but I have not measured cpu load when transferring files yet.

PS. Thanks, RoundSparrow.

I uploaded a new build today: http://sites.google.com/site/stephengutknecht/  The wireless drivers should be a little better.  look for openwrt_14786-manyUSB-ar71xx-mzk-w04nu-squashfs file.  I included a large number of USB device drivers... webcams, serial port, printer... just to tinker on.

Stupid question: How to open this case? I'm sure there are randomly places plastic snappers inside, yet I have no idea where exactly.
Is there a picture available which shows the location of those or a known working method to open one of those?

Brute force can open everything, but then it looks ugly as hell and the plastic case is nice and shiny still, and if at all possible, I'd like to keep it like that.

For mac mini there are instructions how to open it all over the place...is there something for the Planex routers? Especially for the MZK-W04NU?

Is the config file available for this build? When I created an OpenWRT build for my BCM4704 router (see http://wiki.openwrt.org/OpenWrtDocs/Har … -RS-G54HP), I found it very useful to have a proper example to start working on.

I suck at opening cases, but this one I didn't have that much problem.  Study the seams. The side with the PCI logo printed on it comes off like a lid.  Right above the LAN/WAN/USB ports is the seam... and there are 3 tabs.  1) Left side of the power jack, 2) left side of LAN port #2,  3) right of the WAN port.

BTW, eCost.com in USA has these for $44.99 but charges for shipping.  i found the best shipping price comes if you purchase 6 of them... comes out significantly less than Amazon.com's price.  Maybe get your local users group together on a group purchase.  http://www.ecost.com/Detail.aspx?edp=43510668  (If you aren't an experienced mail order vendor, I highly recommend you go with Amazon, eCost isn't the best).

Indeed, opening was not that difficult. All I needed was a knife and bend the cover in all possible directions.
There are 7 plastic snappers though: 3 in the back as described, plus 2 on the bottom and top side. Simple bending (about 1mm) of the main plastic body outwards will unsnap them.

I broke 1.  6 to go :-)

I'm sure the serial port is described somewhere, but where? J1 looks like the serial port, Pin 4 is ground. Where's RxD and TxD?

Would you be willing to post the .config you used to compile the manyUSB version on the firware that you compiled.  I'd like to do some testing on my own with this router.  Thanks.

I just received this router and cannot seem to upload the firmware properly via the web ui? I've tried to upload openwrt_14786-manyUSB-ar71xx-mzk-w04nu-squashfs.webui from your site but the web interface seems to timeout. Checking the router log file there's an error about a cgi timeout. Anything special I need to do? Thanks.
