Only one of the 2 ethernet ports seems to be enabled by default (the one without the line above it). Check you get an IP address assigned and you should be able to access the config screen through 192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/luci/
Thank you,
In my case after installation, I couldn't connect to internet through ethernet before setting up the network interface.
cannot install sqm via opkg on luci. kernel incompatibility. how do i solve this issue? how can i get the correct packages for this release
can't install (most / some ) packages from official repository due to dependencies.
Hello ej,
thanks alot for your images and thank you everyone that
is working on this project.
The latest firmware works quite well for me, except that I cannot install Kernel Modules.
I tried everything from your link, it did not help.
Also I tried compiling myself, with the sources you published. But the modules from this build did have a different version and kernel hash and therefore could not be installed.
Also this build has an older Openwrt version and it did not work as well as your version(ethernet problems).
So my question is, can you give me please detailed instruction, how you did compile the firmware?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Badger, you should be able to build the image with any kernel modules you need on the 22.03 branch.
git clone https://github.com/ej5921/openwrt
cd openwrt
git checkout openwrt-22.03
./scripts/feeds update -a
./scripts/feeds install -a
make menuconfig
select target system 'Qualcomm Atheros IPQ40XX', target profile 'Linksys WHW03 V2' and add Luci + the modules/packages you want in the image.
make -j $(nproc) download world
Hi, I've compiled based on v22.03.2 and got a bootable image for V2. However, the board files for the QCA9888 aren't loaded correctly. It uses the generic driver 802.11bg. Can someone point me to a solution? I've got access to serial if needed. Below are the logs:

You can scp this file to /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA9888/hw2.0/board-2.bin and it should work after reboot.
Thanks Ed for the quick reply. I’ll test when I get home. When I compiled, I had already included the same file from the same repository and downloaded it to my project, must have done something wrong.
EDIT: fixed it, board file loaded correctly now, made a typo.
I'm encountering the following issues now:
As FYI: I've checked out a v22.03.2 from the openwrt repository, applied the changes from @ej5921, then built the firmware. This allows installing packages from official repositories.
Wifi has been stable for >24 hours on both 2.4 and 5 ghz (on QCA4019 radios).
Hi EJ, I've been using your firmware for WHW03 V2 and it works great, however there are some bugs that needs polishing:
Hi all,
any chance to get a new image for v1?
is there still someone working on this?
HNY everyone
Discovered a minor bug in package/boot/uboot-envtools/files/ipq40xx for WHW03v2 to retrieve the uboot environment. There should be a separate entry as follows:
linksys,whw03v2)
ubootenv_add_uci_config "/dev/mtd6" "0x0" "0x80000" "0x20000"
;;
The u_env is actually at (from cat /proc/mtd):
root@ae-ap03:~# cat /proc/mtd
dev: size erasesize name
mtd0: 00100000 00020000 "SBL1"

mtd14: 0b500000 00020000 "syscfg"
Compiled a new version and now the uboot environment is included as part of the output of fw_printenv.
It used to throw a CRC error, defaulting to the default environment.
I've got 3 devices and I've decided to flash both boot partitions as all devices have been running stably for the past few weeks.
Thanks for the feedback.
I wonder if these 2 are linked with the radio restricted to channels starting from 100 and therefore not seeing any clients. It's probably also the expected behaviour with the QCA9886 used as the backhaul for the communication between mesh nodes. I'm not sure how to change this behaviour (probably something in the board-2.bin file).
It's not currently configurable and I won't have time to investigate a fix. Feel free to submit a pull request if you find a way to get it working!
On tri-radio devices, the 5 GHz band is typically split into two bands for each of the two 5 GHz radios (and yes, that typically is one radio for under ch100 and the other for everything above). This typically has two reasons, first one would be interference between the antennas (you don't need overlap, to seriously affect the other radio at distances of ~10cm and less), the other is that there are typically analogue bandfilters in the rf path to split the two radios (both to reduce the interference from the other radio, to allow mixing the signal into (potenially-) one antenna, because it's cheaper to build that way, etc.).
So even if you drop the software side limit (which is easy), the radio would behave poorly on the 'wrong' sub-band and might even take damage.
Hi all,
Just wondering what the current status of the builds for WHW03V1 is @ej5921 @usermx01 ? I'm also wondering how the mesh network performs with OpenWRT or do the routers operate a single independent nodes?
I'm working with these devices in the hope's I can access (at a fairly fast rate) the RSSI of a single device from each of the three nodes and the trilateralize the location of the device. This is for an art installation involving soncification. If anyone has any experience interacting with OpenWRT via HTTP/API format, I would be greatly in debt to get some advice from you!
Best,
Jackson
Hi,
I've got 3x WHW03 V2 (A03 V2) devices, and today I flashed one of them with this firmware. (openwrt-ipq40xx-generic-linksys_whw03v2-squashfs-factory.bin) It didn't really come back after that. As far as I can tell, it's partially booted up, as I can see it has an IP address on my network. It responds to ping and when I do a reverse DNS lookup, ot shows as OpenWRT.mydomain.
However I can't SSH or access any kind of web interface on it. An nmap scan reports all ports closed.
Any ideas what I can try next? I am not a developer, but I am also not new to the custom firmware/ROM scene and have many years of Linux experience.
I briefly tried to set up tftp64 but after the unit rebooted, nothing happened. I am not sure if these Velop devices expect a TFTP server or client, as I haven't got that far yet.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
If it has two ethernet ports, try the other one. On these devices, OpenWrt considers one to be wan (dhcp client, everything closed down), the other(s) lan (dhcp server, unless there already is a concurrent one, everything open).
Hi @bonezAU,
slh is right, if you use the image found on the OpenWRT's website, there is one ethernet port configured as a WAN and the other one as a LAN.
As the WIFI is turned off by default, you need to connect your PC to the router through the LAN port (WAN won't work). Once done, you should be able to SSH into it and/or use the Web UI.
Once everything is configured, you can change the WAN port to behave as a LAN port if you want, but this is done manually.
thanks @slh and @vtremblay for your replies. No luck for me unfortunately. I read somewhere that holding the reset button while removing the power cable 3x with a 2 second gap in between allows the unit to reboot from the main partition (Linksys original firmware), so I can do that at least. As soon as I flash flipy's fw through the Linksys web GUI, the units drop off and don't come back.
I've currently got the 3 of them in bridge mode with my main Asus router as the DHCP server, so I can see when they drop off and don't get an IP again.
Not sure if this is anything to do with why I can't get access to them or not. I have tried flashing flipy's firmware and then plugging one of the units directly into my PC, but I end up with a 169.x.x.x address on the network adapter.
@bonezAU, this procedure might not work with the reset button. This button is not handled directly by hardware, it relies on the software stack.
I suggest to do the procedure by plugin and unplugging the device. You can find the procedure here.
I do have a similar setup for my network and it works well. The only thing is that you need to do it step by step. If you plug the velop directly in the main router without configuring the DHCP correctly, your whole network might fail as the main router and the velop will fight for the 192.168.1.x range.
The trick is to configure the WHW03 device separately and then plug it in the main router once everything is ready.
If you need some documentation on how to setup a mesh with OpenWRT, I suggest you this blog post on BATMAN ADV. This is, by far, the best article that I have found.
Also, I am not sure exactly what version of the device you have, but if it is the V2, you can use the official build which might be a little bit more stable. You can find it on the page that I linked for the reset procedure. Be aware that this is a snapshot build based on the master branch and not based on a release, but I never had any major issue with it.
