Xiaomi WiFi Router 3G

For me, there is no difference in “did not acknowledge authentication response” with r5117

I updated to r5117-fbde9ac (Oct 20 build) and the "did not acknowledge authentication response" issue still reproducing, but after some reties I'm able to connect to the 2.4GHz.

Sorry now I have only 150 Mbps clients

I can not reproduce the problem anymore, tested with:
Samsung Tab A 10.1 2016
Honor 6X (Two devices)
Moto G4
Lenovo ideapad 700-15ISK
Samsung Tab A 7 2016
Samsung J3 2015

Are you using some particular configuration?
This is mine

Hi @craz, comparing to your setting I have the addition configurations:

config wifi-device 'radio0'
        option distance '15'
        option country 'IL'

config wifi-iface 'default_radio0'
        option disassoc_low_ack '0'
        option wpa_group_rekey '1800'

I'll try to match my configurations with yours and hopefully that will finally solve the issue.

Hi @dror,
I used
option disassoc_low_ack '0'
for a long time without any problems but with option
option wpa_group_rekey '1800'
I had problems, many clients after 30" stay connected but without internet/lan.
With this option I had the same problem also with wrt1200ac.
Sorry for my bad english :roll_eyes:

I have a problem with connecting the Samsung J7 2016 (Android 7.0)
The smartphone connects to 2.4GHz without any problems, but after a while, after the smartphone sleep loses access to the Internet (status "Internet may not be avaliable"), but the wifi remains active.
helps only for 2.4GHz switch "N" mode in router config to "Legacy" mode.

@craz + @w2w

Please try with default settings / options "first" - flash Firmware without keep settings - set up your WiFi / Network - connect Your devices - Test!

In my Environment most of the devices will connect without to touch them.... :slight_smile:

Hi,
I tested LEDE snapshot on my R3G, and it seams that there is an issue with the integrated switch and VLAN support.
After some search, I found the same issue on a post about D-Link DIR-860L (which use MT7621) : https://forum.openwrt.org/t/mt7621-dir-860l-does-not-support-vlans/1714
And the workaround is the same for the Xiaomi : VLANs need to be incremented to work fine (if you want to use VLAN 1 and 3, you need to add VLAN 1, 2 and 3).
I don't see any patch for this issue, do you think that could be corrected in future release ?

Only pending patch for MT7621 is one to improve stability
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/808121/

just installed the latest snapshot of LEDE on my miwifi R3G and i confirm that when the wifi 2.4Ghz Chanel is set to AUTO it doesn't work. you have to set it manualy to any number to get it to work.

Thanks for the tips.

Does anyone know where to find this mediatek Openwrt version that we can see in this video @ 2:27 ?

is this an optimised version of Openwrt ?

That is "stock" firmware of that router.
ZBT uses OpenWRT 14.07

Hello everyone,
I just got two of these awesome devices and easily managed to flash snapshot r5217, which does seem to work fine beside some small issues (I did not do any extensive testing, btw).

While you may be ok with the stock U-Boot, I was wondering if it would be possible to port a newer version or to add useful features like mtd or a web interface like pepe2k's u-boot_mod for ar9331.
Since U-Boot is GPL2-licensed, should we expect Xiaomi to release the source or do they believe in open source as much as Mediatek does?
The other option would be to grab everything (datasheets, u-boot sources for other mt7621 boards, etc) I can find online and try to make something out of that.

I also need to sort out JTAG connections if there are any (like test pads or on passive components) but after a first look at the board they do not seem to be there...
An alternative would be to install an SPI flash in the unpopulated layout, and put a backup bootloader in it in case we need to restore the NAND... If Xiaomi decided to even put the layout there, there must be a way to make it work.

I am a programmer and embedded electronics enthusiast myself but I haven't really ever dived into this kind of system programming and/or hardware reverse engineering, so any recommendation or advice is appreciated.

Thank you guys

Hi,
I'm looking for the best router for LEDE, to use it as a all-time-online linux box for file sharing, bittorrent, etc..
Is this the best I can find for under 100$ ?
it's 50$ on aliexpress/ebay.
It don't seems fully supported right now but I think it will be, it's a best seller on those websites.

Right now, this is not the best choice... It's still in the works and it's based on the mt76 wifi driver which is not yet production-ready (AFAIK, I don't really have an extensive experience with this driver).

You could look in these two sticky topics:
