Support for Huawei AX3 Pro

this hidden network appeared recently to me, i can't tell exactly the time, but i'm sure that it wasn't there when i first bought the router, i'm suspecting that this wifi appeared when i updated to the firmware v10.0.5.33 (i have the ax3 quad core global), i contacted huawei support trought e-mail but i haven't got a awnser yet, if you could reset the router to test if the hidden wifi will disappear that would help, i can't do because my network will get disconnected and i would have to contact the ISP :confused:

@Bond06 do you mind to share old firmware bin for AX3 non pro china (WS7100?) Preferably 10.x.x.x

Or if anyone else have it, that would be really appreciated. Thank you.

I just tried to flash the (old) Chinese firmare from this post

But the Brazilian ax3 pro rejected it, unfortunately.

i have the ax3 pro global version, and my router also doesn't downgrade using the normal global firmware, i found this one (link below) that it gets flashed, but i haven't found any differences between this and the most updated
here is the link: https://www.mediafire.com/file/un4xaping18nnnu/WS7200-20_10.0.5.26_main_debug.zip/file

Thanks for your answer Brandon.

But what I am trying to install in the Brazilian router (WS7200-30) is the Chinese firmware, not the global one, because I want to be able to keep using the additional amplifiers that this hardware has. I would like to flash the Chinese version because I have another router which is actually a Chinese version (WS7200-10) and I want to make them work in a mesh setup.

I'm in a similar predicament

I have an ax3 pro chinese version (ws7200-10) that I want to mesh with an ax3 english version (ws7100-20)

So I need to flash the Chinese firmware on my English version ws7100

If you find a solution please update

I will note that there is also a new revision of the AX3 Pro now being sold with a slightly different model number (WS7206), using a Qualcomm IPQ5018 + QCN6102.

It appears to be fairly recent as the one I'm looking at on Ali has a 08/2021 manufacture date, and the CMIIT id is new enough not to show up on a couple CMIIT search sites.

I wouldn't get your hopes up about OpenWrt support on this model for a long while (if ever), between the device probably being locked down, ipq50xx not being a supported target yet, and the nand flash on the new model probably needing a new driver. (DS32M1GA, however the datasheet is available...)

What can you say about that processor versus the previous one (I don't know what is)?

Unlock version 10.0.5.41 update issue
from this version 10.0.5.38 you can already update to the latest version.
Works bro

I wrote about the global version which sadly refuses updating to chinese firmware. Are there any more recent versions for the global AX3 Quad Core model?

it could be in the yandex russian search engine

What is the right model version for the "Brazilian" device?

Why you keep talking about Huawei firmware here when there is no version of OpenWrt ???

Because this is the closest thing I've ever seen of a technical discussion of ax3 router

Why ??

Exist Huawei Enterprise Support Community

Because ax3 is not an enterprise device. And that support won't help to get firmware updates

For WS7x00-20/30 versions:
WS7100-20_10.0.5.26_main_debug.bin

WS7200-20_10.0.5.17_main.bin - version with disable search update
WS7200-20_10.0.5.26_main_debug.bin
WS7200-20_10.0.5.30(C888)_demo.bin - version with disable search update
debug & demo versions boost wifi power and have open 23 (Telnet) and 3333 ports, type shell and after su for enter.
