m2 for 5g moudle not show up on my openwrt build
Any progress on this? I bought the same router.
If you can give dump for some partion i will back to work
My device you can send me mail
[Admin edit: email removed. Please use PMs to coordinate]
I have a semi working OpenWrt snapshot for WS1610. I have fixed most of the dts
5G modem works, Wifi works, 1G Lan port works.
However the 2.5G LAN/WAN port RTL8221 is a b*tch. The stock firmware seems to use some out of tree “glue” to make it work and right now I haven’t been able to figure it out.
If anybody else is interested in working on this device I can push my stuff to git so others can take a look.
Been running Openwrt on this router for 2 weeks now and it has been stable. I fixed my PR and all of the test passed. I’d be glad if anybody else would like to test on their device / review the PR so it could be merged.
great work
The device with OpenWrt has been keeping my HA instance accessable at my summer cottage over the winter without issues.
I am attaching my latest personal build here in case anyone wants to try.
This has baked in custom repo from:
https://github.com/4IceG/Modem-extras-apk
Included packages:
WiFi is also enabled on first boot.
Flashing instructions can be found in my PR. Unfortunately it has not been merged yet.
Update, do not use these builds as they are outdated, because I pushed a newer PR that changed the partition layout
wifi only 80mhz
I have a fully debuged custom build that ill post for whoever wants on my github soon. I used georges build as the platform and added a bunch of qualcomm modem tools, multiple vpn support, xray, terminal+at terminal, 464xlat, and a few other bits. Tried to get pcie working but it appears these boards didnt connect the lanes for m2
Glad to see more devs/users of this device here.
@Typhon999 I had a comment about the pcie being disabled and not routed in the dts, but I was asked to remove it as it was “redundant”.
Meanwhile I think I have figured out A/B partition flashing support together with some easier commands to flash from stock firmware. I will push that some time later when I am confident that it works reliably.

Update 19.07.26 : I’ve replaced the earlier vendor A/B implementation in PR #24274 with an all-in-UBI layout.
The A/B flashing mostly worked, but the bootloader didn’t tell Linux which slot it had selected. Supporting that safely would require device-specific kernel or initramfs logic.
The new layout uses OpenWrt U-Boot with a single UBI partition that maximises available space and has working TFTP recovery. It’s simpler, more maintainable and free from vendor setup constraints
This router has an internal 4pin fan port, that from factory is left unused. Its not defined by the factory dts. I figured out the pin mapping and enabled it. I also swapped the fan on my unit so it can be quiet and not run the fan at 100% all the time.
I have created a personal branch with CI that builds a automatic transition image that can be flashed from original FW. Taking a backup beforehand is neccesary, in case something goes wrong.
That said the device is pretty much unbrickable as long:
- It's not physically damaged
- You have a valid Factory partition backup
- access to uart adapter and PC with mtk_uartboot installed
I have tested it few times without falt and included some logs in the /docs folder
Install guide is here and files available under releases
wan not work lasest build
expect if you change lan to wan and no led
The WS1610 original fan is permanently powerd from the 5v and GND from the uart port. The device however has unused 4-pin fan header: (GND, TACH, PWM, 5V). I mapped out the port by my self. It wasn't even defined in the original DTS. Idk why they cheaped out on that.
I swapped out the fan and created an pwm fan control app. The app has been tested with ws1610, h5000m and beryl7. It should work on any OpenWRT router that has a built in fan and that pulls in "kmod-hwmon-pwmfan" package by default. The app can be installed from my CI build repo shared below.
- I using this theme when taking the screenshots.
You should post this in the community builds sub forum.
