you should have a backup of the OEM firmware unencrypted in one of the files
you can now see what works & not
radio's may just work
led's and buttons are usually mapped different tho
but you could start to make it's own firmware
Is that from a web interface or is that a console command I can run?
I am able to ping to the 192.168.1.1 from a device connected to one of the ethernet ports, and through the serial interface I can get wan connection from the router (e.g. I can ping google.com).
Not able to load 192.168.1.1 in a browser window though might not have remembered to build with that package
you do need luci to do that just use linked file above
Thanks for the help! Everything is going well so far.
The radios work when I manually select the wireless driver kernel modules in menuconfig. When it comes to adding support files for this device, will I only need to update the mt7621.mk file with those modules for the device to be properly supported with regards to the radios?
e.g.
DEVICE_PACKAGES := kmod-usb3 kmod-mt7615e kmod-mt7615-firmware \
uboot-envtools kmod-mt7603 kmod-mt7663u kmod-mt7663-firmware-ap
Many thanks
this is an old "maybe out of date "example of what you will need to do
should start you off anyway

Looks like I've got about everything working - the only thing left that is giving me grief is the LED for the 5GHz radio... it seems that both radios have the led wired direct to them and should be accessible through the firmware but I can only get the 2.4G led to cooperate.
2.4G radio chipset is MT7603 while 5G is MT7613. I thought maybe it was the driver/firmware though I've tried both kmod-m7633u & s to no avail. I can't seem to flip it on manually by running the script from the wiki to run over all the gpio pins either.
I can set mt76-phy0 manually through Luci but m76-phy1 doesn't trigger.
MT7613 could be working after adding these 2 packages: kmod-mt7615, kmod-mt7663-firmware-ap
If you can't find and led for 5G, maybe patch like this https://github.com/openwrt/mt76/pull/651/commits/cdff2574bb9b184442f5b20b9b14e59197f5e2ce could be solution.

it sounds good you got most of it going
it maybe the MT7613 still needs work
you could ask over here
I think lukasz92 may have it there

Thanks! The radio is working fine with those packages.
The LED appears to be a muxed pin that is controlled in some firmware specific to the device. I'd probably have to track down the address of the register used in this hardware configuration and update that patch to this device, if I'm understanding that correctly

this was the chat from when they got added to the 7615's

This thread hasn't bee updated for quite some time, I just wanted how's the progress?
I'm willing to continue development of openwrt for this model, and I'd really appreciate if you guys could pass over the current progress on GitHub.
HI SGproo
everything I have is out there
but i don't have this model myself so not much I can do
I imagine it's ll the same as the to others just ID change & new led mapping
