OpenWrt support for Xiaomi AX3000T

I've ordered one of these routers from Ali 11.11 sale.
I will post my findings about the version I've received and hopefully will find the time to give some feedback on this thread.
Mine will be setup as a repeater with a gl-inet Flint2

works on ImmortalWrt 23.05 too...

perhaps this snapshot can be used?

23.05.5 < 23.05 branch, you should make a build from the current state of the 23.05 branch or 23.05.5 with a custom patch for “winbond” (because 23.05.5 was available at a date when `patch' was not yet applied to 23.05 branch).

Hi everybody, My neighbor reported that his AX3000T entered a boot loop (slow blinking orange light). His router is the new version with the AN8855 switch. The strange thing is that the UART pins are not responding. I tested with multiple TTL-USB adapters, and there was no response. COM port set to 115200 8N1. The only moment something is printed is when the ground is not connected (i.e., garbage data).

Do you guys have any idea what could be happening?

I did it using firmware-selector.openwrt.org
what could be more official? Or does this include selective changes? Snapshot generally 100% even new containers for package files, and for stable 23.05 nothing at all?

I don't know what "remittor" means.

It's like - 12zz, only - remittor

Thank you for your sincere information. teacher

Wow, that's not looking good at all.

Should I just put a hold on trying my bricked one with a TTL-USB?

After some time of correct operation with my router the same trouble happened.
Something broke the UART. I thought it was bad soldering (I doubt it).
I had to give it to relatives, because without this function it is not interesting to me.

Indeed!
I looked for this URL, thanks.

If you just downloaded 23.05.5 image then it does not contain fixes released after 23.05.5 (September 25). Fixes for Winbond (October 11) will be included in next stable 23.05.6, or you may try https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/23.05-SNAPSHOT/targets/mediatek/filogic/ that contains additional delta of code between 23.05.5 and current day

So he did merge, but that's not certain?))).
Okay, let's move on.

merged != deployed.
After merge action next step is build that will happen in next stable 23.05.6 release

I received the second AX3000T:

To be fair, the soldering on the antennas does not look good.

Not nice, but don't worry, they usually use non-active flux. You can use flux cleaner (e.g. isopropyl alcohol).

  1. Wrong connection between usb-ttl adapter and pcb.
    ( ttl.tx -> pcb.rx, ttl.rx -> pcb.tx, ttl.gnd -> pcb.gnd and don't plug +3.3v connector)
  2. Be sure to use only usb-ttl adapter with +3.3v output. If you connect an adapter with +5V, you may damage the tx-rx pins of your router's cpu.
  3. Other hardware failure with the router's cpu.

when is the next stable release due?

When it is ready, there are no due dates.
