Saw this 30€ per device offer on Amazon and this 15€ per device offer at Mediamarkt (EditΒΉ: both offers require to buy at least two devices for the discount to be recognized) and was wondering if it is possible to make OpenWRT work?

I am not sure where to find what chips are used in the device and if driver or firmware support is uplifted into the kernel like Mediatek does. EditΒ²: Now I do. It was answered in this comment

I know that there is currently no support for the device. I am asking if future support is likely? - The answer is yes.

If you can't find specific information on the web, you need to buy one and disassemble it - that's how lots of devices become eventually supported by OpenWrt.

Often you can find a GPL dump on the vendor website, but I could only locate one for the DAP-1860 (not DAP-X1860). Wikidevi has no page for this model, either.

currently a bad choice.
you might take a look at an older thread: there were some attempts on the router-brother (not sure if same chip though), but currently there seems no more new news: Adding OpenWrt support for D-Link DIR-X1860 (MT7621 + MT7915 AX1800)

Astonishingly, newer MT Wifi-AX devices in general seem cheaper that the previous MT Wifi-AC based devices.

If interested in a solid supported D-Link device, try a dir-1960 or dir-2660 in the meantime. Once a while, you find some for 40-60€.

Depending on your country and prices, the RT3200 might be a good AX alternative.
Or the Wax202, which is often also available for 30€.

4

I specifically look for a small AX repeater to plug into a socket. Routers and big access points like the wax202 or RT3200 are not desired by other people living with me. Currently the place I live in, my computer has to cross 3 walls via WiFi to reach the router and it sucks. Using cat cables and drilling holes are currently not an option. Maybe in a few years, but not now.

The last repeater I bought to shorten the distance is slightly old, has old firmware and most importantly had a flash size of 4mb (so can't even flash OpenWRT), which I only noticed in hindsight and although the speed is great (can reach up to ~ 860 Megabit), it regularly looses the connection for a minute or two (roughly once to three times a day).

Was hoping one of the newer devices (especially 802.11ax) could help decrease latency and prevent loss of connection.

5

With DBDC, they're saving the cost for one radio… you get only 2x2 that way, but the buzzword bingo gets to tick 802.11ax from the list.

6

Awesome, I just happened to find the same offer, unfortunately limited to two devices per customer :innocent:

I've had this on my list for a while, bought one when they were new and expensive, did some basic teardown... chipset is MT7621 which is supported, the factory image encryption is solved as well, only annoying part remaining for now would be the ELX header.

As this device is manufactured by Edimax, the factory image will require an ELX header, which currently has a somewhat horrifying implementation in OpenWrt... :joy: And maybe the support for a few additional header fields might be needed here:

Fun fact: There currently seems to be no working (i.e. unencrypted) recovery image available for these devices, I had even asked tech support for an image after accidentally bricking mine (probably unplugged on boot or something?), but the regular Web Update image is not accepted by the recovery web interface.

So, eventually these things may pile up cheaply on ebay, as customers won't be able to recover them with the downloadable firmware provided by D-Link...
Also the amazon reviews are quite bad, if you filter for only this device. So that's another reason they give us great hardware for a reasonable price, just because OEM firmware apparently sucks so bad :innocent:

Let me know if there is indeed interest in getting this supported quickly (I could prioritize it on my huge list of devices :joy: )... Testers willing to solder UART to their devices are welcome :wink: But beware, this thing is awfully annoying to disassemble.

7

Uff, sorry, was not aware the 30€ only counts if you buy two of them.

I am not sure if you should make it a priority. It is my first time even hearing of UART. The good thing about this device is its cheap price, but honestly, if we are looking for performance, for my specific needs (since I need to cross these walls) I would rather prefer to go for something like

and those are available for 75-80€, which is just slightly more expensive than buying two of the D-Link DAP-X1860 (none of those I just listed are supported by OpenWRT at the moment).

Furthermore, it would be even better if a new repeater device were to be at least a little bit future proof cpu wise for handling traffic shaped output that can reach up to 1 Gigabit (Is that even possible for wifi? - Would qosify/CAKE work?)

Thank you all for the replies so far though!

8

In all fairness, most clients tend to be 2x2 only. I am seeing throughput improvement with my 802.11ax devices (also with the WAX202 :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:).

9

That's a two-sided coin, yes, your clients are only 2x2, but 802.11ac/ wave2 and 802.11ax rely increasingly on Mu-MIMO and beam-forming, which profits a lot from more rf chains (unless you have too many connected clients).

I don't doubt that the results are still faster than 802.11ac (the situation might switch around with multiple active clients though, which could be served by independent spatial streams), but that nevertheless is the reason why there can be cheaper 802.11ax devices than there were 802.11ac ones (they are not equivalent).

What the... D-Link really seem to want to get rid of them?
https://www.mediamarkt.de/de/product/_d-link-ax1800-mesh-wi-fi-6-range-2723624.html

Apparently even cheaper with pickup in the store :thinking:

Time to hoard a few more :joy: // edit: only two per customer as well

11

o.O I am really tempted.

@s_2 do you have more info about specs?

  • flash space? I really don't want to buy another low flash space device :((
  • Ram?
  • which chips are responsible for the wifi radio? Is it MT7915? Are there one or two radios?

Thanks!
I decided and bought 2 of em.

Me too. The price is too good to be true for a small AX1800 device.

What's wrong with uartlite after initialization :thinking:

Irregular burst of more gibberish are received, so it's still the right pin but wrong baudrate... will solder a logic analyzer tomorrow to measure actual baudrate; what does base_baud = 3125000 mean here?

In mt7621.dtsi there is an attribute clock-frequency = <50000000>; being set, wonder if this is relevant. Any advice?

16

UART baudrate is reduced to 57600 from that point, any ideas how to keep it at 115200?
// edit: the chosen { bootargs = "console=ttyS0,115200"; };
boilerplate indeed fixed it, totally unexpected... :innocent:

I guess ethernet port is next, should probably configure it as lan first...

Any ideas how to spot the mtd-eeprom dump in the manufacturer's partitions?
For ath10k caldata I kinda just know it when I see it... but not so familiar with mediatek yet :innocent:

17

Also check the u-boot variables, some vendors like to set the MAC from there.

18

The EEPROM data usually starts with the reverse notation for the radio, e.g. for MT7615 that would be 15 76 ... but that still doesn't get you the offset. I'd check the /proc/mtd contents in the OEM firmware for the partition names and boundaries (that's what OpenWrt will copy in the DTS). Usually the calibration data is on a partition called 'Factory' or something for those newer MT7621 TP-Links. Following the MediaTek logic your calibration data would start at 15 79 ... and 75 79 ... somewhere in that partition.

Thanks, it seems like there is only a single eeprom dump required for DBDC, and &factory 0x0 looks good already (although / also there is a mac address at 0x4, which is probably normal?)

Should there be further output than this?
I still don't see the SSIDs coming up, even though the wireless config shows up in uci.

// edit: Current state:

Neither LAN nor Wifi are working at the moment, maybe I'm just missing basic stuff regarding mt7621?

20

You have no switch defined in the DTS from what I can see? Or is this a single port device? If it's not, another DBDC MT7621 device is the Netgear WAX202. Maybe that helps for DTS pointers.
