As in the tittle:
My Belkin RT1800 does not work with OpenWrt ...
Test with Linksys E7350 OpenWRt & same
A little info:
I tried with my build for the Zyxem Multi M1 WSM20 and it started
Obviously I have problems with the lan ports and probably leds and buttons but I have 3 lan ports and the 2.4 / 5Ghz Wifi which work
Wifi speed is correct 550/436 with another OpenWrt Ap & STA in WDS
Is anyone sure that the OpenWrt release has really been tried or are there more versions of this box?
so map the ports like that.
Not a problem , i have the OEM dts

Which firmware version was your rt1800 using, was it booting from the first or second partition?
Please see Linksys E7350 Serial Port Problem or downgrade method for ideas.
I suppose the question was about the initial OEM firmware version.
If you have any OpenWrt version running on the router, try sysupgrade with the proper sysupgrade image from the Firmware Selector.
Otherwise try to tftp the kernel image in the bootloader ("load image") and then sysupgrade from the OpenWrt.
Unfortunate. I tried to make it as painless as possible. No idea if it's possible to make compatible with newer firmwares.
Hi guys, I'm new to the forum, I apologize for the newbie questions.
I was thinking to get a Belkin RT1800 but now I have doubts. Are there going to be problems with OpenWRT support for this model? Are there different versions of it? How come it works for some but not for others? Thanks for any input.

The main difference is the initial (OEM) firmware version.
Hi Andrew, thanks for your reply.
I had seen that thread and I was glad to read your post saying you could flash OpenWRT on your RT1800 after updating it to the latest available OEM firmware - ver. 1.1.00.016, released a year ago, which I duly downloaded 
- so I thought there would be no issue, but this thread suggests there are problems with some units.
This one doesn't sound like the issue with the corrupted boot partition 1 as @Annick was able to flash a different build, but then what do I know (very little about OpenWRT YET! 
) Still, I've just ordered a TTL-USB CP2102 on Aliexpress.
It'd be interesting to know from Annick which OEM firmware version he had on his RT1800 and if he updated it.
Thank you, so that's the initial OEM firmware release from September 2020, according to the release notes linked on the other thread by @AndrewZ, then that could be the cause of the problem.
The correct installation of a firmware is always done by the U-boot
Normally it has nothing to do with the OEM firmware version that is loaded next
If it does not work it is that the built firmware is not correct
So it is important to correct this
I built very quickly a firmware factory ( the sysupgrade for example does not work )
Not problem with different versions of the OEM firmware with the tftp
openwrt build depend of type_fw_date fw_ver ???

Good job for continuing to dig into this. this is an interesting device now that the RT3200 is harder to find here in Europe.
I already have two Netgear WAX202 running OpenWRT as APs, but they don't have an USB port which I need on the router, so I'm running OpenWRT on my old Asus RT-AC87U (wired only) for now. The idea would be to replace it with the RT1800 and have 3 wifi boxes with the same chipsets and drivers for optimal coverage. Hopefully the RT1800 will route 1 Gb/s too with the latest patches.
I've ordered one on Amazon Warehouse, I'll update it to the latest OEM firmware then try to flash OpenWRT. I'll keep you posted. Thanks guys for all the great info on this and the other thread.
FYI - there is no "MAC problem" in the official OpenWrt build, see Bad MAC adress for Belkin RT1800 - #2 by AndrewZ
Thanks, appreciated.
