This router also known as Imou LC-HX3001 is a very affortable router with MediaTek MT7981BA.

Hardware specification:
SoC: MediaTek MT7981B 2x A53

SSH access gain method of LC-HX3001 does not working with HX21 so i created a new restore configuration conf for HX21. Also i created a pull request for this device. Lastet Snapshot installed tested.

Gain SSH access:
Method 1:

  1. Connect UART Adapter to the router

  2. UART pins are enabled, set the root password with passwd command start the dropbear instance on port 22

Method 2:

  1. Login into web interface, and restore the router with SSH enabled configuration.

  2. After reboot Default Web interface password will be 12345678 SSH password is empty

SSH enabled conf link below. Thanks

Can you get console boot log (or dmesg from ssh) from the device? There were somfe indecisive attempts to support this device in the past.

Looks quite ok.... Can you try to ftftpboot + bootm openwrt iniramfs kernel from a similar filogic device via u-boot?

i have complied openwrt snapshot using its previous version LC-HX3001 configs from immortalwrt repo and its working fine and stable.

Nice, want to try to port that back to OpenWrt?

I tried it, and everything is good so far, but the WAN LED shows "ON" when not connected.
