same here, could you find a solution for that?
Is the router entering rescue mode? Slow flash?
The reset button on these is terrible. You have to press extremely hard
Yes its starting the rescue mode: slow red flash.
i gave myself an ip:
sudo ip address add 192.168.50.100/24 dev ethExample01
then checked the mac address of the router interface and added to the ARP table:
sudo arp -s 192.168.50.1 aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff
then i served the bin:
curl -T openwrt-23.05.5-mediatek-filogic-xiaomi_mi-router-ax3000t-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin tftp://192.168.50.1
also let wireshark running, but it simply dont take the openwrt.....bin image.
i didnt test with the xtr image because of no trust.. if you guys did find a way - thanks for the help. otherwise i will buy the UART cable to flash by Serial Port.
I didn't get fully round to trying the TFTP method, but I think the wiki says it's got to be 192.168.1.70/192.168.1.1

Just a quick one RE: LED lights. In light of the fact (pun intended) that you cannot switch the LED lights off (yet) and I had the same issue as other users who have tried to switch theirs off, I took the advice of some users and applied some insulating electrical tape over the lights. It blocks the LED sunrays out and is barely noticeable. Picture with all LEDs on for reference:
Hi all, so I am going to be picking this router. I am going through all of the comments and am really confused on the unofficial TRX images method and which one to use. WIKI page (which is under construction) suggests Remittor's TRX image initial build and then use a STABLE but not the SNAPSHOT version here:
https://firmware-selector.openwrt.org/?version=23.05.5&target=mediatek%2Ffilogic&id=asus_tuf-ax6000
OR can I use the Remittor's TRX image initial build and use this snapshot image that Remittor produced:

Any method preferred or recommended?

Ok so it looks like I was able to install Openwrt using Remittor's method. However, I am getting terrible 5ghz speed and range as compared to the stock firmware. I am using my router as a AP with multiple SSID. Then I stumbled on this open ticket - https://github.com/openwrt/mt76/issues/877
Does this mean that there is an issue with 5Ghz for this device or can someone point me to some additional settings that I may have not done. So far, I have 5Ghz setting of a locked channel at 149 - Canada country code - with 80 Hz - I dont even use 160. Power transmitter is set to DEFAULT.
Furthermore, I have sofware offloading turned ON.
The issue I have is if I am up in the second floor, the connection to the 5Ghz disconnects frequently or says poor connection. And then I have to switch to mobile data.
Hm
I had been getting lag spikes for sure. I had assumed this way down to me trying to do band steering though...
Hi all. If I want to downgrade my current openwrt to an earlier release on this router can I just download the previous stable build and upload that through the Luci interface. Would this be ok to do?
Btw I flashed this router through remittor's method

Hi,
I'm about to buy this router, is it stable enough on OpenWRT?
p.p
912
Yes, works fine (with custom main build, haven't tried with 23.05.x or pre-built images).

I use the stable branch of OpenWRT on 23.05.4 with no issues. If you make sure to read and install as indicated, it should be smooth sailing.

Ok installed it fine (supposedly)
i'm just having a really hard time setting it up!
New OpenWRT user and i'm very frustrated...clients do not take an IP from routers'
(opnsense) DHCP when I disable openwrt DHCP.
I'm using OpenWRT on Asus TUF AX6000 router version 23.x
I'm trying to set it up as an AP, so in br-lan I set a static IP (192.168.4.70) (Outside the routers dhcp range) which belongs to my opnsense router (192.168.4.1)
The opnsense router is connected to a managed switch and from the managed switch a cable to WAN, and i can access the internet fine and it takes an IP from the routers DHCP.
Configurations attached
Appreciating your support please

Set a value for Tx power - 23 dBm is ok for most on 2.4 and 5 GHz
For offloads - I would suggest turning that off for now - mostly as you're running multiple SSID's and potential VLAN's and, well, let's not add to the complexity...
Enable vlan filtering, tag ports, and put LAN into whatever vlan you are using. e.g.
LAN
vlan 100, 200, 300
br-lan --> br-lan.100
Edit: You also appear to be running someone's custom openwrt image, not the default.
In interface-->lan-->advanced tab, add the Opensense's IP address to the custom DNS servers.

Hi,
Yes I followed the instructions here on that thread where it said to upload the .img into Luci once the firmware was updated from Asus web to Luci web, that step isn't required?

I followed it but didn't work, I believe everything worked once I allowed any - any in the firewall...Is there a clear step on how to completely disable the firewall?
I deleted the rules under firewall - And then disabled it from the start up tab
