Netherlands..
Is there a way to extract the running firmware?
If so i can try. But need a cookbook for it.
Finally. I have received 10.0.5.26 via OTA! So my router was not stuck on 10.0.5.17 because of the manual upgrade.
please , could you share version 10.0.5.26. ?
and could someone explain what is the way to add static routing?
try https://192.168.3.1/html/index.html#/more/nat
if that is what you mean.
"more functions", security, NAT
is not related to the security setup,
These are routing settings. For example, adding a static route to another network that is behind another device.

I had the same issue, and I open a ticket with Huawei and they basically told me that there's no static route option here.
Firmware 10.0.5.27, available.
And is there anything else new?
any link for download?
Hello guys, I think this will be usefull.
I buy in November an AX3 PRO from official spanish site (global version), and I set up fine (AI Life recognized, wifi activated, etc). But recently I buy another AX3 PRO from Aliexpress...and this isn't global version, is chinese (my fault). I've been busy all afternoon trying to configure it (using google translator and translator integrated in Chrome), and this is the results:
-
Global version (max v.10.0.5.27) is recognized in app AI Life good, it's possible to configure in spanish trought web browser or with app AI Life, and all works fine with wifi activated. The router have the first port WAN (1) and the other three ports LAN (2-4).
-
Chinese version (max. v.10.0.5.46) works similar that Global version with the particularity of that all of four ports are WAN/LAN (1-4)
-
MESH feature activating the Chinese version (with factory reset) as repeater with the AILink button (wifi 2.4g connection, not wired between routers) works, but too bad: 2 ssid are set, the repeater use their standard wifi ssid without any security (and connected to Internet through the wifi mesh link, open my network omg), and the main router use the original wifi ssid.
-
MESH feature with similar configuration (Chinese as repeater) but using wired connection between routers it's not possible, the repeater not auto-configure when I conected LAN port (1) of main router (Global) to any WAN/LAN ports (1-4) of repeater router (Chinese), they can't comunicate.
-
MESH feature with Chinese as main router and Global as repeater using a wired connection from any WAN/LAN Chinese ports (1-4) to WAN Global port (1)..don't WORKS. But if you first configure both routers separately with the same SSID and password connecting to configure to the same internet conection and later you connect one to the host router by a wire...works, but this is not a MESH network it's only two routers with the same SSID. (I don't test this configuration with wifi connection because I need use wired to obtain max speed, but I think that also works). This only have the issue that I can't use AI Life app because don't recognize the Chinese host router, and when we activate mesh feature only 'exists' the host router, so I will have to resign to use web browser (translating...) to manage this network.
I hope that when Global version is update this could work with Global router hosting the wifi mesh network.
Best regards!.
Edit: Testing both...China version is much better than Global version, double coverage, isn't necessary wifi mesh. Does anybody knows if this is a diference in hardware or is only capable by software?
Hardware.
Chinese version is better because it has a signal amplifier.

Thank you, Yes I have read the same this morning, China version have signal amplifiers that Global version don't have because international restrictions.
I have see too that there are other new Global version WS7200-30 (maybe for Mexico) that include signal amplifiers too. Anyway I'm too happy with Chinese version because, furthermore there have a best signal, there have a lot of new configurations that Global don't include...(yet?).
Guys.. don't forget he key od this post.. Please support huawei ax3 into openwrt, otherwise we are in hands of Chinese government.
Chances for that to happen are extremely low, as there is zero mainline support for the HiSilicon SOC, nor the Hi1152 wireless chipset. While nothing is impossible, I don't see this happening (neither soon, nor at all), given that there are alternatives that have much better starting conditions (ipq807x+qcn50x4, ipq60xx, ipq50xx, mt7622+mt7915e, …).

As far as I know the AX3 Pro (WS7200) uses Linux, does it mean Huawei must release their source code?
Sure, have a go at it.

Even having access to some partially proprietary vendor SDK doesn't magically give you a set of concise patches to add support for a new SOC or WiSOC, it may act as a starting point, but you will have to invest a lot of work on top of that, to beat it into shape for mainline or OpenWrt, and to keep it working with future kernels.
I don't mind trying, but what source should I ask them to disclose?
Dear Frifox!
I have a Huawei AX3 pro quad core router. Chinese language. I'd like to add global firmware. You have uploaded a link, but unfortunately it is no longer there. Would you please send me global firmware for this type if you have it? I can't handle Chinese. kunlaci0817@gmail.com
Thanks
Global software does not work on chinese version!
There are differences in hardware.

Hi all,
I bought yesterday a WS7200_20 (global version) updated to the latest version (Current version: 10.0.5.27).
I noticed that, strangely, as per default settings “Bandwidth” does not activate 160Mhz; after the setting update my Intel AC9650 card connects at a maximum speed of 1,7 Gbps but the “tested” speed is very unreliable and quite similar to a WiFi5 Tp-Link C7 AC1750 (80Mhz bandwidth and max 866 Mbps). Does anyone tested the 160Mhz bandwidth stability and the WS7200_20 performance against robust WiFi5 router?
Finally I used WiFi Scanner and discovered 2 “hidden networks” (one in 2.4 and one in 5.0Ghz), see picture (note: guest WiFi is off); does anyone know why WS7200 is broadcasting these hidden networks?
