OpenWrt support for Xiaomi AX3000T

If the cable from the computer is connected to Ethernet port #3 and all other cables are disconnected, what happens?
If when the browser enters the first page of Luci on 192.168.1.1, hold down the RESET button for 10 seconds, what happens?
If, according to the instructions from WIKI, use the MIWIFIRepairTool.x86 utility, what happens?

When you say 3 how does your numbering start and are you including the WAN port?

When I say port #3, I mean to make it clear that it is not the one on the far left or right))).

I moved to the GUI windows version of Putty in case it was a Linux problem. The speed is correct. The other parameters look familiar for what I set in terminal on Linux though. I’m not sure what Putty defaults to with the others.

Only the far right port I did not try. I’m pretty sure no different happened but will double check. I didn’t work I know that for sure.

Thanks. The machine is now attached to Windows incase it was a Linux thing, so I’m using the standard PUTTY GUI, but those look like parameters I used in Linux. I will double check what PUTTY does as default. The speed is correct I know though.

I searched tread but couldn't find as you say 3000+ post. I try Miwifi repair tool and only chinese firmware can replace.
Thanks!

I don’t even get the Luci Page in Firefox (I usually use Brave).

Tried left central port again in Firefox. Maybe Brave browser was caching the start page.

Putty seems to default to 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and no parity so I think I had the right parameters already.

I’ve read the Luci page that flashes up on brave briefly. It says “LUCI” “enter Liz configuration page”. Tried clicking on that link. Still errors in same place.

Yeah, I switched back to brave. Still get the Luci page and then fails on http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/Luci/

Yeah, reset the cache on Brave and even that initial page disappeared.

Is this a windows thing or can I run it on my Linux (Mint 21) laptop that is on?

Windows, I don't know, maybe on Linux on some emulator.

This one?

I’m looking for the wiki page.

Yes

Miwifirepairtool.x86 is a standard utility for restoring Xiaomi routers and instructions from other routers are suitable, only the firmware for your router must be specified in the settings.
This is an automated TFTP server that automatically changes network card settings, renames the firmware file, etc.

Hi ,

I have read the whole topic, thanks to whom contributed to this awesome work.
I made lots of research and decided to replace my Buffalo WZR-HP-AG300H openwrt router with AX3000T. My main router is Xiaomi BE3600 2.5G which is not supported officially by openwrt.

My device (AX3000T-RD23) has ESMT Nand and MediaTek MT7531AE switch.
I installed OpenWRT 24.10 and configured it as a wifi router then upgraded to Snapshot release.
It runs pretty well and stable, but wifi speed test somehow did not satisfied me.

After activated the WED wifi speed significantly improved for all connected devices. Especially for ranges greater than 10M ( with 2-3 brick walls ).

Please enable WED as default for this device.

To enable WED manually add the line below to the "/etc/modules.conf" and reboot.

options mt7915e wed_enable=Y

thank you all again,

Kind Regards,

Actually, this is WED (Wireless Ethernet Dispatch) - MediaTek's hardware offloading mechanism.

The Beamforming feature can be explicitly enabled in the /etc/config/wireless

config wifi-device 'radio1'
...
option he_su_beamformee '1'
option he_bss_color '8'

I m sorry my bad , I have read this on banana forum, I aplied and it improved wifi speed significantly. Thanks a lot for correction.

Does WED increases WiFi latency? According to GL.iNet GL-MT6000 wiki:

WED enables hardware offloading of wireless traffic. The caveat being it will also bypass AQL which may result in higher WiFi latency

I am using AX3000T as an access point (custom build without firewall/dnsmasq). According to this same Wiki, when using devices in AP configuration (routing disabled), in addition to enabling WED, it is also required to install bridger package "(...) which does some BPF (Berkeley Packet Filter) magic to track and offload bridged streams(...)".

Considering I am getting good Wifi performance with AX3000T with WED disabled, I will not change this config for now.

Thanks for sharing this info. I will test this someday to see if the bridger package will reduce the latency on my AX3000T which is acting as a dumb AP (routing disabled).

handle bridge local rx/tx - on or off?

Yes, it's possible.
