Can you enable the equivalence to stock firmware "High Speed", which it receives at 5ghz and transmits only on 2.4ghz disabling the bottleneck between receive/transmit?
I know on openwrt this can be done, but I have tried this feature on other wireless repeater I own, and results weren't that great.
I flashed the latest snapshot (r14900-acb336235c) on my RE450 v3.
I configured WDS on my 5GHz AP on my main router (which is an Archer C7 v5 running OpenWrt) and a WDS Client (STA) on my RE450 on 5GHz.
I can access it through SSH wireless.
When I try to create a 5GHz AP, it seems to be working but the network (SSID: Test) is not emit. No problem creating a 2.4GHz AP.
Ok, I shorted the two resistors and now I've got a serial prompt. Just need to compile an older version of openwrt to see what broke. I have a feeling it is this commit:
as I haven't seen any other recent commits reference re450.
Looks like it was a faulty device. Another re450v3 worked. It might've been the way I flashed it. The first one I did through the UI, the second one I did by booting the second device through serial/tftp and flashing it using the sysupgrade method.
I have had V3 for about 6 months. With the original firmware I had no problems, then I wanted to install openwrt and despite it being loaded correctly there were some operating problems. It was not a good experience if we consider that it does not have dual firmware and putting the original firmware back is risky and complex. If you do a search you will see that many people have bricked the devices.
The main problem was that after putting WRT it could not connect to the 5Ghz Network from an Archer C7 (same brand) despite seeing the SSID.Now I no longer have either the Archer or the RE450 and I have no more problems.
Thanks a lot, can you please upload a stock firmware already converted to openWrt sysupgrade file, I tell you this because I myself, and probably some users from this forum, don't know how to use Linux, only Windows based operating systems.
I had a similar issue, and following the steps from @tolqen I managed to reset my RE450v3 to the native firmware.
At the link below you can find the image I've used to reset my device. After you flash this image according to the steps above, you are back to the last settings you had on the original firmware.
This topic was intended for adding support for this specific device.
Since official snapshot images are available since quite a while now, I will set a timer for this topic to close.
Why?
Because specific problems for this device with official releases are better handled in separate topics, in order to make finding relevant information easier.
Therefore: Please open new topics for any open issues with this device.
Thanks, for the team for adding support to this router, and also providing stock firmware ported for Openwrt standards, just wondering if new OpenWrt 21.02 will came with stable release to this router and Luci embedded.
