Xiaomi WiFi Router 3G

I looked there, too many opinions I could not decide. What do you suggest ?

ipq40xx (AVM Fritz!Box 4040) would be within that price bracket, it should have better CPU performance than mt7621, but might not quite reach its WAN to LAN routing performance.

@xaviiz

For the Moment it´s nice to play with the Xiaomi R3G - but it´s not ready for daily use -> sure it will be in future!

A good Pick is the Archer C7 v2 for example.... grab eBay for a second Hand Device.

For me is very stable.
Uptime 11 days with OpenVPN server (2 connected clients), SQM, samba, upnp, ddns, minidlna, MLdonkey running on USB HDD (Thanks to mstm).
2.4 GHz (Channel 1) -> 8 devices
5 GHz (Channel 36) -> 3 devices

The only problem are these warnings on kernel log

how to upgrade firmware LEDE on my MIR 3G ?

There on russian forum 4pda one user integrate SPI FLASH http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?s=&showtopic=837667&view=findpost&p=65661552

Thank you w2w, I should have checked 4PDA earlier...

So, as far as I understand it:
-- on the MT7621 SoC, NAND and SPI buses are muxed on the same pins (therefore you can only use one at a time)
-- J10 and J11 jumpers need to be closed to enable and select the SPI flash as boot source
-- a 4.7k resistor should be soldered between pin 3 (WP) and pin 8 (VCC) of the SPI flash to disable write protection
-- we can use U-Boot from ASUS RT-N56U B1

So I soldered a blank W25Q64 (8MB) chip and discovered that you can't boot from NAND again unless you remove the SPI flash.
I also did not flash U-Boot on the SPI flash beforehand, thinking I could do it in-system using a SOIC clip; I still have to find a way to keep the MT7621 in reset (maybe through the PORST_N signal/ball).

no. you need compile u-boot for mt7621 and flash U-Boot on the SPI flash beforehand.
and you can register on 4pda and write QMS for 4pda user Sedy http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showuser=80862

I flashed breed using mtd write but now the led doesn't power on and it doesn't reply to 192.168.1.1

Hello! How do I perform sysupgrade, if sysupgrade file has .tar but not .bin extension?

You must use the .tar file

Did you follow the instructions in the first message?

No, I flashed BREED only so as to have a failsafe bootlaoder for recovery (ironic in hindsight :slight_smile: ) and would flash LEDE after that through BREED. Is it possible to recover without serial now? LED doesn't poweron, only the ethernet link status led (green) blinks when a cable is connected.

If not how do I recover with serial? I wrote breed to the Bootloader mtd partition

mtd write breed.img Bootloader

How does one flash lede using BREED? I've tried to do this a couple of times without success.

deleted is not working

How did you install BREED?

on WEB GUI ?

Interesting :roll_eyes: MT76 precompiled drivers (mediatek wifi is useless in MT7628)

i got my device today and tried @hammer guide, but i cannot get ssh to work

On a PC, visit http://d.miwifi.com/rom/ssh46 and sign-in to you account. You will get to a page that should display your router, the root password and a download button. Hit the button to get miwifi_ssh.bin

i always get this error:
502 Bad Gateway

The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Please report this message and include the following information to us.

has anyone had the same problems? or is it just temporary downtime?

visit http://d.miwifi.com/rom/ssh46

It is http://d.miwifi.com/rom/ssh (there's no "46" in the address). Also, most of the times (at least for me), xiaomi's server is broken, so you must try another time...
