Supporting the Cudy TR3000 in OpenWrt

For Developers
83

I did, they have a few improvements for USB modem handling (and not only). It is my main reason to use OpenWRT on TR3000, as the stock firmware from Cudy currently does not support it.

84

Is this one with wireguard included? I have GL-MT300Nv2 but it is too slow. I would like to replace it with TR3000. I would use Wifi / tethered with iPhone and wireguard. So it would be great if there is an image with all those I need already included.

there's no such image.

if you know which packages you need, you can customize the image by adding the names of the packages by clicking the tiny arrow in https://firmware-selector.openwrt.org/?version=SNAPSHOT&target=mediatek%2Ffilogic&id=cudy_tr3000-v1

It works fine for me with this build

Hello, you can also buy the TR3000, which also has 128mb + 512mb with 3x3 mimo + 2.5g and the price was 56.90 euros 4 weeks ago at alza.at

Now it costs more again unfortunately

wr3000s is also ok 256+512mb with 3x3 mimo

but I have to say something because many people say it with a problem

I always had problems with the wr3000 and also with the original firmware. The problem was aborted until it was restarted, so the problem is with the cudy wr3000

I sent it back and got the Xiaomi AX3000T and it runs 24/7 with an outdoor router without any problems

P.s.

TR3000

at Amazon promotion 90.66 euros - 20% so about 72-73 euros

but too expensive since it was 56.90

but good wifi 6 router

not officially released yet, but it's in the 23.05.4 currently being built.

Thx a lot guys, for support Cuddy TR3000, especially to @frollic and @enmaskarado (I really love your UART connection style :rofl:)

I'm interested in buying a Cudy TR3000. Is anyone here experiencing any issues with OpenWRT? Does this router have a fan? Also, would the USB tethering work once OpenWRT is installed? My alternative to this would be the Gl-Inet Slate Plus.

Thanks!

91

Tried scrolling through the thread ?

Yes

92

I did read every single post and I couldnā€™t find any mention of a fan. I know the Beryl AX uses the same chipset and has one, thatā€™s why I was asking. Thanks!!

93

And the photos, did they show any fan?
Did you see any mounting points fitting a fan, or a power connector for a fan ?

Here's the complete set of internal photos https://fccid.io/2APRGRT02 (although it's not really showing the TR3000).

No, there's no fan.

I have this device and for your questions:

  • No it doesn't have a fan. Passive cooling.
  • Works if you follow the guides from openwrt wiki on USB tethering. I tried with both iPhone and Android, no issue.

Both snapshot and stable releases are working great

Thanks for all the answers! I purchased the router, and I can confirm installing Openwrt was straightforward. I configured and tested a wireless wan (client mode), usb tethering (Android and iPhone), ethernet tethering (Android only), Wireguard (client only) and configured the hardware slider to turn the VPN on/off.

Hello! I updated the device to 23.05.4. If you select a frequency of 160 Mhz, then wi-fi is not visible on other devices. Tell me, what is the problem?
