Mercku M6a Shell

For Developers

A little disclaimer I am not responsible if your brick or damage your router in any way.

To get shell access is fairly simple the process involves opening up the router browser and logging in
Once logged in change the url to make sure that the 192.168.127.1 is the address of your router if not use your routers address.
http://192.168.127.1/web/setting/super
set your root password
then go to
http://192.168.127.1/web/advance/telnet
and enable telnet

Once that is done you should be able to telnet to the router on the standard telnet port

bonus:
if you want to access luci by default and access the mercku ui via port 8080 edit
/etc/config/uhttpd

config uhttpd 'main'
        list listen_http '0.0.0.0:8080'

If you want ssh access you have to update your package lists and then install the dropbear package.

I cannot find any firmware that appears to be built for any devices based on this hardware so if you find packages that work let me know please.

Two people have not had luck with this though :neutral_face:
