Link seems dead :frowning:
I have found back the commit, and if I paste its URL result is the same.

Here is the content.

ramips: add support for Mercusys MR70X

- Ethernet: MediaTek MT7530 (WAN x1, LAN x3, SoC)
- UART: >TX RX GND 3v3 (115200 8N1, J1)
        Do not connect 3v3. TX is marked with an arrow.

Installation
============
Flash factory image. This can be done using stock web ui.

Revert to stock firmware
========================
Flash stock firmware via OEM Web UI Recovery mode.

Web UI Recovery method
======================
1. Unplug the router
2. Plug in and hold reset button 5~10 secs
3. Set your computer IP address manually to 192.168.1.x / 255.255.255.0

This generally means:

  • Someone (possibly) violated the warranty
  • Someone possibly damaged WiFi (by damaging the calibration partition)
  • May not have features out-of-the-box that are listed in OEM literature (when in truth, with OpenWrt, it has the capability of more)
  • Instructions that don't match OEM literature
  • The buyer has to guess what OpenWrt is (recall the threads "I purchased a router and it says OpenWrt, so I'm posting a message here to stop hacking me") :smiley:
  • The seller has to guess if they're compliant with Open Source Licensing *

*- I've always thought it was unclear if I'm allowed to sell a device with OpenWrt still installed. The last time I recall doing so, I attempted to create a CD containing the version's Image Builder, SDK, code, etc. (a URL would suffice these days, I suppose). I assume the correct method is to build the image locally and archive the entire workspace.
