can someone please find me the correct openwrt firmware for this router. the logo seems little bit different for some reason. its a chinese one bought from aliexpress. MIR4A is the model mentioned on package
thank you. it seems firmware download link is removed from the page. not sure why
use https://firmware-selector.openwrt.org/ for images.
There are two builds: openwrt-23.05.5-ramips-mt7621-xiaomi_mi-router-4a-gigabit and openwrt-23.05.5-ramips-mt7621-xiaomi_mi-router-4a-gigabit-v2. Xiaomi is really bad about changing the internal parts without any indication it is a different hardware on the outside.
if I use the wrong firmware, will the router become bricked?
yes. it will brick
check the firmware version like
fw version 2.30.20 is v2 mentioned by the wiki
it will be better if you backup the whole router firmware with spi chip flasher.
on the internet there is no full backup published for this router for now. so who did brick the router hard didn't recover
i have firmware version 1.0.34 . so i guess it's v1.
thank you for the info. ill check on telegram groups about more info
