Support for Huawei AX3 Pro

Guys,
Despite of having an 300mbs internet speed, sometimes I have some connection issues when playing and my wife is watching YouTube or Netflix.

Today I saw the "WMM" option in the router and tried to disable it. What I was expecting was to increase my connection at the cost of my wife´s connection, but what really happened was that my connection was reduced from 170mbs to 30mbs!

So, did I get something wrong?

You really want to talk to Huawei for help with this device, as OpenWrt support for it is unlikely at best (no mainline support for SOC and wireless).

But to cut it short, WMM is a hard requirement of IEEE802.11n and up. If you disable it, you're down to IEEE802.11g - 54 MBit/s gross/ ~20-30 MBit/s net. A knob to disable WMM on 802.11ac/ ax devices doesn't really make sense (yes, OpenWrt offers this option as well, but more for historic reasons than contemporary intent).

That explain why my speed decreased so much, but it so weird as WMM is a feature for multimídia streaming, why does that influences in setting up transmission speed.

Сlosing port 3333 on debug & demo firmware:

# killall app_sdt

and other debug applications:

# killall app_acs
# killall app_nlc

a few years back, There was someone who turned an ip camera on the HiSilicon CPU into a openwrt routet https://github.com/ZigFisher/openipc-1.0 so dunno if any help to someone.

is there a way to change the WiFi region? maybe by editing one of these files?

My WS7100-20 is missing 5gh wifi channel 149 and up. Seems it was incorrectly set as EU region instead of US.

there are no such channels (149-165) at all

firmware in read only mode

p.s. Don't they get shot in the US for buying Huawei products? :crazy_face:

Hello!
Greetings to all!
What would be the most current version with maximum power but with all languages?
The European versions are very low in power and coverage and I prefer to install the Chinese version but with languages.
Thanks!

For those looking for the open source part of the firmware, Huawei list "all" of their open source here https://consumer.huawei.com/en/opensource/detail/?siteCode=worldwide&fileType=openSourceSoftware&pageSize=10000&curPage=1 though it's not actually complete.
According to https://consumer.huawei.com/en/opensource/ you should be able to send an email titled 'Open Source Codes Issue' to mobile@huawei.com and they should respond.

Hope this helps someone!

I´ve send an email. I will inform later if they respond me.

hello, I need the firmware version c500, WS7200-30. Does anyone have a download link? huawei support not responding

10.0.5.33 (C500) last for WS7200-30 BR version

I needed the .bin download link. I got the ws7200 download link, through tcpdump, I got the ws7200-20 url, but I needed this ws7200-30.

I will post the direct huawei link of the ws7200-20.

Tell me for the future, what command did you find out the address using tcpdump?

probably C500 is a pre-release 华为路由AX3 Pro-WS7200-20(现存)固件汇总 - 风流云的博客 (qyyd5g.top)

pt-BR present in changelog

1 - Disable the modem's auto update, the update must be run when tcpdump is in listener
2 - Configure a linux to share the internet, configure the WAN port of the Huawei to receive the internet through linux with Fixed IP to facilitate.
3 - Install tcpdump on linux and run the command:

tcpdump -i $INTERFACE -w log.cap

$INTERFACE is the network card where the Huawei WAN was connected (ex: eth0).
4- Run update on Huawei.
5 - Stop tcpdump and Copy the log.cap file and open it in Wireshark, and filter by http protocol. It will show the htttp requests, and one of them will have the link used to get the binary.
6 - The ideal is to do the procedure only with the modem connected to the network, because a large number of requests makes the debug difficult.

After much study, I got the download link for the ws7200-30(c500) version.

He follows

http://update.hicloud.com/download/data/pub_13/HWHOTA_hota_900_9/fc/v3/8EhQM9ZZQb2AhEzsR960tw/WS7200-20_10.0.5.33(C500)_main.bin

I don't know why they put the firmware with the name ws7200-20, since it is the ws7200-30 version, I believe that because it is a variant of the international version.

Firmware WS7100-20_10.0.5.33_main.bin probably fit Huawei WS7100-30 and HONOR Router 3
