Support for Asus RT-BE14000/ZenWiFi BT8 Tri-band Wifi7 (Mediatek MT7988)?

Hardware Questions and Recommendations
1

I recently looked for routers having similar hardware as the Banana Pi BPI-R4 and asked if anyone had tried the TP-Link BE805 (not BE800)

At this link you can see wifi7 hardware in different routers and the recently released Asus Zenwifi BT8 (RT-BE14000) has a similar Mediatek setup.

However, I noticed that models that have support for Openwrt all use the MT7988A cpu and Asus has a MT7988D

And there is a older model from TP-Link: TL-7DR7230/7260 - that has the same MT7988D cpu that does not have Openwrt support.

I can get a hold of a Asus Zenwifi BT8 soon, would it be a waste of warranty to open it up and look for a serial connection ?
(there does not seem to be any FCC images)

BTW, I already have a Banana Pi BPI-R4 with Wifi7 - Im just interested in finding more OpenWRT compatible equipment :slight_smile:

The MIPS MT7621 SoC family - which is still pretty popular here - had multiple flavours as well. I expect this Asus to be supportable based purely on the SoC. However, it also depends on whether one is able to gain access to the boot loader, or if there is another way to get a shell through e.g. an exploit. That gets progressively harder as manufacturers lock down their hardware more and more every generation.

The other devices you mentioned are most probably unsupported because nobody capable either has them or is interested in porting them. Keep in mind BE hardware is still rather new and not all the necessary code is available or accessible (especially for non-MediaTek SoCs).

OK, the Asus BT8 seems to be widely available, at least in Europe and US.

I will probably open it up, take some pictures and get back here :slight_smile:

Got the device :slight_smile:

There is one 2.5Gbps wan, one 2.5Gbps lan, two 1Gbps lan and one USB 3 port.

To open it up - remove the rubber feet at the bottom to revile some screws.

Then push the front upwards to remove it and unscrew 7 more.

Then you have to pry to remove the top cover (its helpful with a plastic tool for this)

Inside you will find what is actually the wifi cooler - to remove the entire structure from the case you just snap off the two plastic holders on the right and left of the cooler.

And what do you know - how convenient :slight_smile:

This is as far as I have gotten, have not even tried to connect it (or even start the device) yet.

Betty thoughtful of Asus. Remember not to connect VCC.

I actually had to reverse tx and rx to make it work even though its clearly marked on my serial-adapter as well as on the motherboard.

I have not done anything more at this point and I want to play it safe since this is uncharted territory.

But I guess that the same procedure as with the Acer Predator could work ?

Fetch a OpenWrt initramfs (in this case Banana Pi BPI-R4) image with TFTP and
configure U-Boot to allow loading unsigned images ?

If it is possible - how safe is it just to (try to) boot an alternate image ?

8

You can't go wrong with trying an initramfs. If the bootloader does not like it he'll refuse to boot it.

Thanks, will try this today.

Should I go with the:
bananapi_bpi-r4-initramfs-recovery.itb
mediatek_mt7988a-rfb-initramfs.itb
or
smartrg_sdg-8734-initramfs-kernel.bin ?

10

mediatek_mt7988a-rfb-initramfs.itb looks generic enough to me, but I'm not the one to ask.

11

Trial and error?

It's not like it's going to take you 5 hrs to try them both, and it's nondestructive.

12

Just checking since i have only used .bin when doing this before :slight_smile:

Will get back later with an update.

13

It looks like the ethernet is different with that chip. The R4 has the PHY inside the SoC afaik and here you got them separate on the outside. Two of each, 1Gbit and 2.5Gbit.

I love the custom cooler. I wish we had something like that for the R4.

I just wonder though, why is there only a thermal pad to connect the SoC but not the wifi chips? There should be three more as was on the BE14000 reference NIC from Banana Pi.

Have you looked under that RF shield? Which also doesn't exist on the R4 and is probably the reason people complain about high noise values on their radio.

Interesting to see that they use a relatively recent uboot. But then again, support for that chip wasn't added before that. I wish and hope Asus contributes back to both the uboot and openwrt code bases.

14

The Wifi chip(s) are not under the same cooler as the cpu - there are in fact 2 separate boards with their own cooler on each side of the router.

I forgot to take a overview picture with the wifi-cooler off, but I took some chip pictures and they do have thermal pads.

One of the pictures I took yesterday that is not in my previous post.

Right now Im struggling with silly things like setting up a TFTP server correct since Ubuntu changes this with every new version and my previous notes on how to do it becomes useless.

Ah, of course. It was in the images, I just overlooked it. Thanks!

I wonder what the interface if, if you disassemble the whole thing. :smiley: But I guess it's the same PCIe connection like the R4 has. Maybe with a proprietary connector.

The SoC board even has a JTAG connector to the right. Which would allow you to access and/or change the bootloader inside the SoC, if you had the right hardware.

And I wonder what those things are:

The yellow guy near the power supply.
The jumper on the left near the usb. And the chip in red.

The chip to the top right of the shield is probably the NAND.

This looks like a very interesting device. How much did it cost?

16

I hope no one is in a hurry for TFTP results, I got angry when it did not work and took some pictures for totkeks instead :smiley:

And finally the picture with wifi cooler off :slight_smile:

I could buy a one-pack in Europe and it is about 310-340€ (?) otherwise they are sold in two and three packs.

On the American Amazon site they are only available in 3-packs at the moment.

only 2.5gig ports ? really ? meh , another electro garbadge...

18

If you live in the US, I would go for this one - TP-Link Archer 805 It has 10Gbps and its probably possible to install OpenWRT. Its not available in Europe anymore AFAIK and I would have to pay around 230$ extra in import dutys and taxes if I got it from the american amazon site.

Or you can get the Banana Pi BPI R4 of course :slight_smile:

19

Nah, tp-link is too big, i have already 2 bpi's r4 and after one year full support isn't even finished. I'll stay wires/ fibres and pfsense.

20

I think I almost got it working :slight_smile:

I had some initial problems and it turns out it was the (compressed) itb file - the smartrg bin file worked better.
