I just realized there is a Cudy WR3000e also 5 gigabyte ports and 128/256 Ram and also the 820cpu.
But I can't see the Open-WRT software for the "e" .
Can somebody help me here?
Is it really a new or different model?
I don't know how to compile that, who is usually doing that in Open-WRT?
Thanks a lot
only Cudy knows, until someone compares them.
someone who owns one.
Someone must create the support for this device. There is no "automatic" support for a new device. You must gather informations before adapting dts, and compiling. You may find interesting infos in cudy source code.
We can assume all WR3000 devices share common HW and SW, but each device has some own features (hence 5Gb port for this case).
Sure, but this one is for 39 Euro on Ama... and offers the 5 ports. Would be great if someone who knows how could support here to get the Open-WRT also running for the 3000e model
I didn't checked and I should have. Despite being an enhanced version of the WR3000 (more memory), the WR3000E is a model from the previous generation. Both are superseded by the WR3000S (supported since 24.10.0) and the WR3000H (supported in snapshot). I'm a happy owner of a WR3000S. It's not that much expensive (49.90€ on your favorite site).
The Cudy routers WR3000E (R53) and WR3000S (R59) share the same hardware (mainboard) besides the case (and therefore the LEDs) and the antennae. WR3000E follows the design from the "old" WR3000 with the 6 LEDs. The WR3000S has the newer design with 10 LEDs. The software seems to be a bit different: if you compare the firmware files (e.g. v2.27): it seems to be the case that it's mostly different because of the LED-functions, different model number and, of course, the hash value.
Why they haven't released an intermediary OpenWRT-firmware (yet?) is beyond me. Maybe they want to justify the higher price for the S-model? There usually is a 10 to 15 Euro difference between these models. It's not unusual for manufacturers to saturate different market (price) segments with the identical hardware to reach more customers without making it too obvious that a part of them is paying more for the same hardware.
They can provide it if you ask (or they may not). Their policy is to release a signed OpenWrt version once the support is officialy done. That means after someone has struggled with finding infos, coding, compiling ...
Hi,
do you own the device? If yes: Do you have internal photos or already serial access to it?
Sorry I decided to buy the wr3000s avoiding trouble here
