I need some assistance with my Xiaomi AX3000t router. I initially had version 1.0.84 of the firmware installed, Wiki points that this an AN chip but i saw "Winbond" written on it, so I decided to flash it with the Snapshot version of OpenWRT using Ximir Patcher.
The flashing process reported success, but I encountered a timeout error during the reboot -f command. After that, my router appears to be not responding. Initially, the orange LED blinks, then it stays solid for a moment, and finally, it switches to a solid blue light and does not change over the time.
Currently, I cannot access the router via SSH or HTTP at the usual address of 192.168.1.1. Interestingly, when I connect an Ethernet cable to the router, I do get internet access on my computer. At first, I thought it might be acting as a switch, but now I'm starting to think it’s not true.
Is my router bricked? Any suggestions on how I can recover it would be greatly appreciated!
I meant that when connecting an Ethernet cable from the main router to Xiaomi, and then another Ethernet cable from it to the computer, the computer receives internet access. However, the device is not visible from the main router's interface; I can't ping it or access it via SSH - connected computer. The computer has a static IP address assigned on the interface and on the router based on MAC. It is configured for the address 10.0.1.250, but for testing purposes, I enabled DHCP on the computer. I receive a timeout when trying to SSH.
I simply launched the xmir patcher, created a backup of the selected partitions. I pressed 1 to switch to the default router address, and then 2 to gain access to SSH and then the one for flashing. Can I flash it if I don't have SSH access? Without restoring factory firmware?
Press and hold "reset" button.Use the Xiaomi router recovery tool to flash back to the original firmware, and then re-flash OpenWrt.
Find more tutorials to have a look. I don't have this device, so I don't know the specific steps. But I have flashed OpenWrt on a Xiaomi Router 4C before.
Besides the Winbond NAND chip, there is also an AN8855 switch that is not currently officially supported in Snapshots (see red warning messages in the Wiki).
This is because you flashed a Snapshot that does not have driver for the AN8855 switch.
I am using tftp methods. Wiki says that i need to wait until blue LED will be solid and when blue is blinking IT can be restarted. On my situation blue solid LED does not appear, IT is blinking. When i restart router, for some time is solid Orange and after that blinking Orange. After that router does not respond.
As i said i checked hardware. I looked here as someone on forum said and i can see there WINBOND on chip.
Okay, thanks for the explanation. I checked dmesg, and I indeed have an AN8855. I installed the suggested modifications from the forum, and the basic functions are working. I want to ensure that VLANs work, but I will test that later. Thanks again.
