[SOLVED] Where I can flash my firmware on OpenWrt?

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hi everybody,
I'm new here. I bought an router on Aliexpress (WE826-T2).
They give me an bizarre firmware (like that: http://prntscr.com/n34b30), and when I tried to contact the seller, he said to me: "install this customized openwrt version on your router".
But he doesnt give me installation instructions...
Can someone help me?
I tried to flash firmware via the interface, but I have this error: Unknown firmware model
Thanks, that's for educational purposes, so I really need your helps guys!
Thanks

Firstly, update the firmware to the /tmp directory. (You can use scp.)
Then use the sysupgrade command with '-n' and '-F' options.

For example:

scp myfirmware.bin root@192.168.1.1:/tmp/myfirmware.bin
sysupgrade -n -F /tmp/myfirmware.bin

Hi, what was your solution? I have the same exact problem. I can't do scp to the modem, I get ssh timeout on port 22.

"Exact same"?

Same router? Same seller?

Or just a problem with SSH/SCP in general?

did you ever manage to fix this, I seem to have the same issue 'incorrect model'.
Which image worked for you
