Xiaomi mi wifi 3 support

hi is usb wan supported like usb broadband

Has SQM? Stable WiFi?

I think i just bricked my device. I cannot flash the firmware via USB. It is just a constant orange LED. Not blinking at all after i tried to push the reset button many times.

Any sugestion to unbrick my device?

use TTL serial adapter and connect to RX\TX pin

I just bought the TTL serial adapter, is there any tutorial to restore the firmware?
Before, i have promotheus to backup my firmware.

i have soldered the ttl but it shows noting on my console. any idea why is it?

suddenly it work, but it is just a random unreadable characters. After that my PL2303 became so hot. After i replug the PL2303, my PC won't detect the PL2303 anymore. Any idea why is it happen?

Not sure, but you can try using an Arduino. That's what I do. Look at my post history for details on how I do it.

Please describe how exactly (which pins) you connected the PL2303 to your device.

Hi there. It is working now. I can see the output on my putty. But it shows random characters. I use 115200 baudrate. Any idea why?

I connect tx, rx, and gnd.

connect rx\tx visa versa?
router-tx to PL2303-rx and
router-rx to PL2303-tx ?

just to give an update: Running ptpt52's ROM works fine if I deactivate 2.4 GHz WIFI. The WIFI symptons are the same as here, so I think a fix in the WIFI driver is needed:

I was wrong to download the firmware. I put the firmware of the xiaomi 3G router on the router 3. How can I restore it? I tried with the usb and the official firmware of xiaomi renamed in miwifi.bin. I press and hold the reset button, insert the power. But nothing happens. What can I do?
I have CP2102, is it possible to recover? is there a guide?

Your second command did not work for me, I had to do:

opkg list-upgradable | cut -d " " -f1 | xargs -r opkg upgrade
