Adding OpenWrt support for Xiaomi "Redmi Router AX6S"/"Xiaomi Router AX3200"

Hi guys,

So far are there bugs encountered? Just want to be ready to face the challenges.

I have not noticed anything yet, except the 100Mbps ethernet upload bug, but that does not effect me at all so I don't care, I run all my devices on WiFi. :slight_smile:

Any tips how to replace already installed @mikeeq's version with official release?

here you have the official Snapshots, I guess sysupgrade should be fine? then install Luci-app-attendedsysupgrade so you can update to latest Snapshot easy and keep all settings and packages.

I tried through luci gui sysupgrade about week ago, accepted fine the file but it messed things up, login page at least broke down. Reverted back to this version and it was fine again.

I just took some time today and did a NAT performance tests, with and without SQM, IPv4 only. Below are the results from my test:

May I ask how did you get the OpenWrt 22.03 branch?
Was it supposed to release for the public to download?
Unless you are 1 of the development team, I guess?

Alright thanks

Do you know if there is any changelog or a thread about snapshots?

You can check the git short log for the 22.03 branch at:

BTW, this last commit should supposedly fix the Ethernet switch speed issue (all ports have the speed of the lowest speed connected port):

included in latest Snapshot or next one?

Next one (build date of April 19th or later).

In conclusion, only the modified mt76 package and patch are needed.

Seems like this worked at the end. For some reason I needed to do the sysupgrade 2 times. After first time Luci web UI brokes down and after second I have 22.03 running succesfully and webUI works.

oh btw, I bought a third one today, the retailer I bought from got one returned from customer and lowered the price with €10, I asked them about production date and he answered the same as the two I bought before 09/2021, will use this one as backup as I gave one to my parents. :slight_smile:

This method looks very promising, however i have failed to get UART working.
I've an RB01 manufactured 11/2021 and telnet is closed. Connected a CP2102 USB-TTL to AX3200 UART, according the pinout find on OpenWRT TOH. Tried with putty 115200 baud, and got nothing but jibberish characters on console - after starting router with pressing RESET button for at least 5 seconds. Tried to swap RX and TX, but got nothing from the line. (Checked connection with multimeter continuity test, seems fine.)
