Ok setting up mbim mode works via AT+QCFG=“usbnet”,2 then resetting with AT+CFUN=1,1 works. so you may also connect using luci-proto-mbim.
A side note since the above firmware is a snapshot and not yet a stable release, luci might not be installed, so I still did an opkg update and opkg install luci after sysupgrading. this required setting dns for my wan on the blue port because for some reason my internal dns servers dont work with opkg.
Hello there! Do you have a link for the QWRT files? Thanks!
Luckily, I managed to successfully flash OpenWRT via the Luci sysupgrade of the QWRT firmware.
I also managed to get MBIM working via luci-proto-mbim so internet works fine now. I noticed a huge improvement in boot up time compared to QWRT.
I don't miss the QWRT interface since most of its features that I use like band/cell locking can be done via AT commands. I'm now exploring ways to add AT command shortcuts to Luci for quick overview of signal information because 3gpinfo package does not seem to capture all data
am using luci-app-3ginfo-lite for the signal information and luci-app-atcommands from 4IceG (https://github.com/4IceG).
I just hope they improve 3ginfo to display both 4G LTE and 5G NSA when connected because my plan eats up a fixed amount of data when its not connected to 5G.
Hi there,
I only have the mtd block backups which I got from the pre-installed QWRT firmware on the Arcadyan AW1000 that I bought.
I have openwrt firmware (no module console is added, so it needs to be installed manually. There is a difference between the wan port light and QWRT, perfect, it will not light up without a network cable) and QWRT firmware (the module part is displayed in Chinese instead of English), you need which one?
Please note! ! !！！ ! Do not downgrade the firmware from a higher version! The highest version currently is R13A1, followed by my firmware. A friend was using my firmware and did not check the Firmware_Release_Notes PDF guide file contained in the folder, causing the malfunction.
This is the modem firmware right? No worries there. If you can send me both then I appreciate it.
OK I will provide it to you.
OpenWrt
1.tftpboot openwrt.ubi
2.flash rootfs
Power off and restart
opkg install /tmp/*.ipk
reboot

QWRT
1.tftpboot QWRT.ubi
2.flash rootfs
Power off and restart

Not tested for long-term stability. Can only be used for temporary transitional use
Thank you will try this.
can you share R13 version?
Today I just bricked my device after doing another sysupgrade on snapshot that has the 6.1.7 kernel. I cannot access 192.168.1.1 nor getting an IP address. Is there some kind of failsafe mode for this device? Thanks.
Thanks for this. Will try it out, hopefully it doesnt brick the modem.
I tried different ways to access failsafe mode as mentioned in the wiki but I can't really get the LEDs to blink.
I manged to bring my unit back via UART and flashed the previous working snapshot build that I have. I guess I'll wait for a while before flasing a new snapshot build 
Hi, can you reshare your QWRT dump? The link is expired, and mine is currently borked right now. Thanks!
Anyone can share the QWRT firmware? I cannot get the 5G to work
To make 5G work you should upgrade the module firmware instead of flashing the QWRT firmware
///
upgrade
Upload to openwrt tmp directory(Do not upload the compressed package directly)
cd /tmp
QFirehose -f RG500QEAAAR13A01M4G_01.200.01.200/
I just did the upgrade for the module firmware as you said. Still no difference.
Also tried reboot after upgrade.
What am I doing wrong.
