OpenWrt support for Xiaomi AX9000

TempestJunior · March 6, 2023, 7:38pm

What openwrt version are you running, did you build the image yourself?
The speed should be similar if the wireless settings are similar except radio interference in your area.
You could test using LAN connection at first.

Below is my openwrt version, I'm running the public build from sysupgrade server

Soromeister · March 6, 2023, 8:26pm

Literally today's build, taken from here.

Apache14 · March 6, 2023, 9:36pm

My AX3600 And DL-WRX36 can both cope with traffic (DHCP client / NAT)

AX3600 - 920Mbps (limited to the 1Gbit WAN)
WRX36 - in excess of 1.2Gbps

These where tested over WiFi with software offloading and packet steering enabled.

The AX9000 should be able to do the same as the WRX36

I get 800-900s download on wired and wireless with OpenWRT and 700-800s upload. So must be some settings or so. Obviously to get those speeds I wasn't far from the router. I have Gigabit FiOS/Fiber

Soromeister · March 9, 2023, 9:59am

Which antenna are you guys connected to in order to get that speed?

radio0 (5GHz AN)
radio1 (5GHz AX 80MHz only)
radio2 (2.4GHz)
radio3 (5GHz AX 160MHz)

xiaomi ax9000 5.2Ghz band wifi 6 160Mhz enable..wifi client samsung s23 ultra,xiaomi poco f4 gt and laptop gigabyte g5 ge wifi 6e card

TempestJunior · March 9, 2023, 6:36pm

I've just noticed that enabling radio0 causes the ax9000 to reboot, there're no visible logs generated on the serial connection when the enable button is pressed. The router freezes for about 15 seconds then starts to reboot and I can see boot logs on the serial during the reboot.

One observation, the router appears to wait for 20 seconds and restarts when the following lines are shown during the boot process

Could this be a hw problem, has anyone encountered this issue on this thread?

mgibbons51 · March 9, 2023, 10:42pm

Same as Clark. Radio 1 80mhz also yielded me some really good results. But the Radio 3 with 160mhz gave me even better because the 160mhz

mgibbons51 · March 9, 2023, 10:44pm

Whenever I've used the IoT radio (radio 0) I've mainly had good luck with 2.4ghz which did work for me

TempestJunior · March 9, 2023, 10:55pm

It's a bit strange, I have 2 of these devices. One in use as router and recently ordered another as AP on the second floor. The router exhibits no such symptoms, the IoT radio has functioned flawlessly for a while now.

I just installed openWrt on the second router for use as an AP and immediately noticed the router would reboot and revert settings when radio0 is enabled.

They both made separated choices with openwrt installed I disabled radio0 for now and the AP works nicely

Xcat2008 · March 11, 2023, 6:05pm

First of all, thank you. My english is not the best and old to learn more Ive purchased this router only because of the wireles power.. Found out that Europeans Router got limitations.. And my old Asus AC68U still rocks and i got about the same result's.. Distance is the same.. And xioami web ui is so #### basic.. i'm used to merlin firmware.. jez... Well, ive done the SSH thing and it's working, i'm on the latest firmware (3.0.40) for the AX9000 and works everything.. The only thing i had troube, it was to find the console of the browser lol Under Firefox, right click and "Inspect" "Portuguese = Inspecionar ", then click over the console and paste all the code inside the file you eve provided. And follow everything and will work like a charm.. Well, when you upload the bin files you will get the router got memory full something like that, error to forget and move on, still works because router restart. Now big question for me, what i need to do to install Openwrt? Kinda noob on those things, can someone guide me what do next? SSH it's working. Next steps? Thanks

clark · March 12, 2023, 3:09am

set to 2.4Ghz wifi n 20Mhz bandwith..im using it for my wifi cctv connection..so far never had problem like yours

mgibbons51 · March 12, 2023, 11:27pm

That's how I had mine setup as well. Same settings. I had about 10 IoT devices connected to it without an issue.

Xcat2008 · March 13, 2023, 12:24pm

Hello once again.. sorry to ask too mush.. but wanna really install openwrt on my EU AX9000! And my english is as bad as my portuguese lol So, as i understand there is no way to flash now with ssh, only UART.. ok ive soldered the pin's lol Waiting my USBTTL arrive 1.8V. https://www.amazon.es/dp/B07WX2DSVB?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
Question, noob question, to start flashing router OFF and VCC 1.8V connected and will boot normally? I know the procedure, but only have dbout if the router stays on or off when we connect the 4 pin's to the uart. Do not want to damage the router.. Already lost warranty just because ive open it lol Need the Wireless power at max... EU option never again!

Thanks

mattimat · March 13, 2023, 6:55pm

Please read the page https://openwrt.org/toh/xiaomi/ax9000 carefully. There you can see that you should not connect the vcc pin in uart.

Xcat2008 · March 13, 2023, 7:21pm

Thanks for the answer. I read that, it just says to be careful not to put 5v or 3.3v on vcc. ON and only those 3 wires connected will work? Or router OFF and connect VCC 1.8V?! That's my question
*EDIT "There you can see that you should not connect the vcc pin in uart." Ok understood Thanks

Matezon · March 13, 2023, 9:46pm

Router OFF --> Connect only RX, TX, GND --> Connect UART adapter to PC --> Open console --> Router ON --> Magic

Xcat2008 · March 13, 2023, 11:18pm

Thank you Thank you Maybe tomorow if the shipping company deliver my USB TTL i will be flashing tomorow night As the usual i guess RX (Router) -> TX USB TTL and vice versa for connection

Soromeister · March 14, 2023, 9:40am

How did you get the 160MHz antenna (radio3) to work?

I know radio1 is supposed to be set to 80MHz and have country set to US, but what about the radio3?

I have installed wpad-mbedtls by doing opkg remove --nodeps --force-depends wpad-basic-mbedtls && opkg install wpad-mbedtls & reboot. Other than that, I have LuCi installed.

The Wi-Fi signal is not that good though. I have less speed over Wi-Fi than directly from the router.

SpeedTest from the router CLI (which is exactly how much the subscription is for:

I used CN as region since this seems to be the best one for my case. I still cannot use channel 13 on 2.4GHz and I am unable to change phy#0 with iw reg set CN:

I used the fix outlined here for the BDF file and also set proper (755) permissions on the board-2.bin file. This was the original post with the BDF file. Not sure if it's still required, but I seem to have had more stable connectivity with this via radio1, although radio1 only supports 80MHz compared to radio3 with 160MHz, but can't really seem to figure out how to make radio3 work. It's showing like this:

I am new to OpenWRT and really have no idea what I'm doing, but noticed the OEM firmware had much better Wi-Fi in general so I'm struggling with this particular aspect of this router under OpenWRT.

Any help would be much appreciated.
