Hi,
I'm noob with OpenWrt, In list available firmware I can see the Archer mr200 but not the Archer mr400. Is it possible to try to install the mr200 firmware ? is it possible to easy customize the mr200 firmware for mr400 ?
Second question I try to use the mr400 for access with voWifi, the router access to internet with simcard. This function is not supported by original firmware (do not reply to ISAKMP and ESP message). OpenWrt can help for this ?
In general, you can't install firmware for one embedded device on another, even if they have the same chip set. Trying to do so may destroy unrecoverable, instance-specific data in the flash (and potentially other problems).
If you have basic C and shell skills and access to a Linux-based development box (or VM), then you could try to port OpenWrt to the device (assuming the hardware is compatible)
Hi I am using MR6400v5 openwrt firmware on my MR400v2 router. But the wifi chip can only work under 300Mbps rate, with adequate researching I find the only difference between MR6400 and MR400 is that MR400 has a AC1200 Mbps wifi chip. So how can I patch a driver module or build a firmware that supports AC1200 wifi chip? Or someone know how to do that then help me?
OK, finally I successed to drive MR400 AC1200 5G radio wireless chip. It's a PCIE chip, model is MediaTek MT7613BE 802.11ac/n.
I have constructed this project and added the new device into openwrt image builder source code.
Next problem is how to commite the git code changes.... who can tell me?
Yes, there must be something wrong. And my mr400 now doesn't have 4G mobile data. Only 2.5g and 5g wifi. But to use it only as a wireless extender AP is my requirement. It has only 8MB flash space, so only very few packages I can install in the router.
