Support Asus RT-AX52 Pro (very similar to RT-AX52 no-pro)

idris441 · September 18, 2025, 5:47pm

Hello, I bought a new device. Can I install OpenWrt?

My device doesn't have a USB port. Would transferring the img file using SCP and performing the installation work?
Is the Ax52 img file suitable for the Ax52 Pro version?

Thank you for your help.

Unless confirmed identical, no.

brada4 · September 18, 2025, 7:17pm

What is the name of config backup file?

If it says no PRO devices are identical

Kind of downloadable fw files are identical….

It is not 100% same, maybe @achterin can offer expert advice?

Enable SSH - login/password is same as web UI and restart router and collect boot log.

Create code box </> and paste the log in the box (vi text editor like notepad++)

idris441 · September 18, 2025, 8:57pm

Is this safe?

brada4 · September 18, 2025, 9:44pm

Obviously disable SSH on the router after. It is same user and password as web, just different client…

no permanent change on the router, I am just trying to get some info once author of AX52 support tunes in

achterin · September 18, 2025, 9:56pm

Looks like the same hardware to me, when comparing the listed specs on their page. But we can only be sure if one opens up the case and takes pictures of the board.

brada4 · September 18, 2025, 10:07pm

I still hope to snoop flash chip passport from boot logs It is same oem trx, maybe try luck with serial tftpboot?
