Hi community, I have this router: Dual-Band Wireless AX6000 2.5G Ethernet IAD/Gateway - EX5601/EX5600-T Series | Global | Zyxel I'm able to compile and flash the firmware from zyxel source files but I'd like to have a clean Owrt build. I've been building the openwrt image from the openwrt git re…

[image] vinicentus: As an alternative to flashing into ubi1 only, I could potentially use the ubootmod method. I'm guessing ubootmod changes the partition layout significantly? Is it possible to restore the original firmware from backups easily afterwards? I should check this forum more often…

Thank you for the replies! I finally had some time to mess with this device again. Here's what I tried: Again, as context, this is a Zyxel EX5601-T0 with stock firmware V5.70(ACDZ.4)C0.
