hi , i just bought mr200 v5.3 today only for installing openwrt and now i see its very hard to installing on this device .
i used lan cable on windows pc and a tftp tool. i set the pc ip to 192.168.0.66 with mask 255.255.255.0 and 192.168.1.1 as gateway.
but nothing transfering at all , nothing log at all in log viewer tab .
and i press reset button for 5 second with connectin the power cable.
what did i do wrong? why there is no official manual for v5?
because it's not officially supported ?
Hi
This is how I did it on my MR200v4:
TFTP server IP address 192.168.0.225 netmask 255.255.255.0. Turn off all firewalls.
its worked like a charm, thanks a lot.
but i cant find simcard setting to set APN. what should i do?
the original frimware is accessible? it hade the setting
you need to install the packages required for LTE/modem support.
can you give their names or links ?
modem is 4g and its need APN .
help me to install packages without internet .
this is the list of installed packages :

i also modified /etc/config/network and /etc/config/firewall according to :
https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/wan/wwan/ltedongle
but nothign happend
share internet from your phone, connect the MR200 to the phone's wifi.
or use https://firmware-selector.openwrt.org/ to create a sysupgrade image containing all the extra packages you need for your modem.
did you do the verification described in https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/wan/wwan/ltedongle#sample_installation ?
everytime i want to get builded images from frameware-selector error this :

the packages i need : kmod-usb-serial-option kmod-usb-net-qmi-wwan uqmi luci-proto-qmi picocom sshtunnel luci-app-sshtunnel qmi-utils adguardhome
Feel free to review the PR though @amatur: https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/15041
If there's anything not working (properly) just comment there.
so, wifi never came up again. i think i destroyed the modem
btw, every time i put qmi-utils in custom package installation in frimware-selector, its unable to build the images . i will do a PR for that later
Your device have insufficient flash space, no PR in the world is going to fix it.
i done the tftp again and device was up again , then i tried to systemupgrade bin upload. nothing happend yet
This is the minimum packages required to get the LTE modem to work:
kmod-usb-net-qmi-wwan
uqmi
luci-proto-qmi
If you don´t have internet access to your router, use WinSCP to move files from your computer to the router and install manually.
thanks , but where to download them
use the firmware selector again, and add them to the list of packages.
if it still fails, try an older release.
If you use 23.05.3, otherwise switch to your release.
kmod-usb-net-qmi-wwan and uqmi : https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/23.05.3/targets/ramips/mt76x8/packages/
luci-proto-qmi : https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/23.05.3/packages/mips_24kc/luci/
how run them after download? ./file?
