Hi,
I am new to OpenWRT. I tried to install OpenWRT on I have Cudy WR1300 and I think I have somehow messed up the installation. Right now, the device wifi is not on and I cannot connect to it via SSH.
Does this device have a physical reset button? If so, you may try two things:
Hard factory reset: after the router is powered on and booted, press and hold the reset button for at least 10 seconds until the power led starts flashing. This will erase all configurations and return it to factory defaults.
Failsafe Mode: If the above does not work, you may try entering in Failsafe Mode. Basically after power on, wait for the power led start blinking. At this moment press and hold the reset button until the power led starts blinking very fast.
After this OpenWRT would start in Failsafe Mode and you should be able to SSH it to 192.168.1.1 without passwords.
However I am not sure if the "reset" button works in all devices. I tested and it does work with some TP-Link devices.
The OpenWRT-Version from Cudy is 19.xx, maybe its not possible to upgrade directly to pure OpenWRT 21.xx. I had no issues with Cudy 19.xx --> pure OpenWRT 19.xx --> all RCs --> pure OpenWRT 21.xx
Could be worth a try
