Hello everyone!
I'm a new OpenWrt user and I want to install OpenWrt on unsupported router (netis N5, link on imformation about subject - )
I found a GitHub repository for my chipset (RTL8197F) and compiled this into OpenWrt .bin file, try to install this with TFTP by guide from manufacturer, but after installation router rebooting, flashing WAN indicator 2 times and don't booting
Link on .bin files
Can you help me with this?
Thank you in advance
Device is not supported by official OpenWRT. You need to ask authors of fork distribution for help.
It appears you are using firmware that is not from the official OpenWrt project.
When using forks/offshoots/vendor-specific builds that are "based on OpenWrt", there may be many differences compared to the official versions (hosted by OpenWrt.org). Some of these customizations may fundamentally change the way that OpenWrt works. You might need help from people with specific/specialized knowledge about the firmware you are using, so it is possible that advice you get here may not be useful.
You may find that the best options are:
- Install an official version of OpenWrt, if your device is supported (see https://firmware-selector.openwrt.org).
- Ask for help from the maintainer(s) or user community of the specific firmware that you are using.
- Provide the source code for the firmware so that users on this forum can understand how your firmware works (OpenWrt forum users are volunteers, so somebody might look at the code if they have time and are interested in your issue).
If you believe that this specific issue is common to generic/official OpenWrt and/or the maintainers of your build have indicated as such, please feel free to clarify.
