Installing OpenWrt on Netis WF2409E

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hello openwrt,

I have a Netis WF2409E router and I'm keen on installing OpenWrt on it. Unfortunately, I couldn't find official support for this model on the OpenWrt website. Despite this, I'd like to give it a shot.

Here are my questions:

  1. Has anyone successfully installed OpenWrt on the Netis WF2409E?
  2. Are there any compatible firmware versions or community builds that I can use?
  3. What are the risks involved in attempting to install OpenWrt on an unsupported router?
  4. Can you provide a step-by-step guide or any tips for the installation process?

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!
Muhammed Hasan

hi @CodeByHasan

most dangerous things:

  1. you could overwrite boot loader, so only external FLASH programmer could save you :frowning: if you have a backup
  2. you will destroy WIFI calibration data stored on flash chip if image you try to flash does not have same partitions/layout. Without this, your wifi is dead
