Support for EAP225-Wall

Hello to all,

I have another question : Do you know how to force an EAP225-Wall that has a bad OpenWRT configuration to boot with the default configuration, by pressing the button in a specific way with a specific timing ?

Do you know the sequence to apply ?

It would be interesting to report this info on the EAP-225 OpenWRT Wiki page, because it will be useful for many users.

Kind regards,

Frederic.

I'm back I have the answer :

  • Change your PC IP settings to a static address : 192.168.1.100
  • Unpower the router
  • Connect your PC to any port of the EAP-225.
  • Repower the router, the LED will stay bright a few seconds, then it will start flashing slowly : Right after it starts flashing slowly, press repeatedly the home button 4 times per second until the LED is flashing fast.
  • The LED flashing fast means your are now booting into fail-safe mode, and can ssh to root@192.168.1.1, from here, original default settings can be restored by entering the command firstboot && reboot now

New issue found, with the Switch, I opened a separate ticket :


As a result, I have added this new section in the TP-Link EAP-225 series OpenWrt wiki page, concerning the embedded switch VLAN enabled Artheros AR8229 found in the EAP-225-Wall V2 and its configuration, I encourage you to read it if you don't want to bump your head on walls for weeks for its configuration :
