YunCore / KuWfi CPE200 Installation Process?

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hi there,

I have my hands on a KuWfi CPE200, which is as far as I can tell, identical to the YunCore CPE200.

It appears to have a firmware image (https://firmware-selector.openwrt.org/?version=24.10.0-rc7&target=ramips%2Fmt76x8&id=yuncore_cpe200), but unfortunately installation doesn't seem to be as simple as flashing through the WebUI. When I do this, the system takes a while to process, and then reboots top the original firmware (albeit to a slightly broken version of the original firmware with labels missing). If I reboot again, it goes back to the original firmware. I have tried flashing it with it in "client" and "master" mode switches.

I did find this guide which appears to be similar, but I am a bit reluctant to try a similar process since this was written 6 years ago and it wouldn't surprise me if a lot has changed in that time: https://github.com/grosjo/OpenWrt-Kuwfi-CPE830#option-1

If anyone has managed to flash this, I'd appreciate some insight on how to get this done safely. Thanks!

See the commit message for details.

Neat. I'm not worried about DFS personally, my region has plenty of non-DFS channels I can use. Thank you muchly. TLDR for anyone reading this:

Installation:
The installation can be done via the recovery HTTP server which is built
into the bootloader. Hold down the reset button while connecting the
device to power and keep holding a bit more than 3 seconds. Connect to
http://192.168.0.100/ and upload sysupgrade.bin file.

Great - in Europe, there are none. I found out about the non-working DFS after flashing OpenWrt.
