Hi to all, I need to upgrade this router. Actually I restored it through failsafe mode (because tried to upgrade and do not work, bricked).
Actual data shows:
Model Zbtlink ZBT-WR8305RT
Architecture MediaTek MT7620N ver:2 eco:6
Firmware Version OpenWrt 18.06.4 r7808-ef686b7292 / LuCI openwrt-18.06 branch (git-19.170.32094-4d6d8bc)
Kernel Version 4.14.131
Any suggestions?
What is the correct and latest firmware I can use to upgrade it?
Can I upgrade it by LuCI console
https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/18.06.4/targets/mediatek/mt7622/
Is it correct? It is not MT7620 ( I can not find Mediatek 7620)
MT7620 is under the ramips target. This is because MediaTek was formerly known as Ralink.
This should be your model:
https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/18.06.4/targets/ramips/mt7620/openwrt-18.06.4-ramips-mt7620-zbt-wr8305rt-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
Yes, I installed it, but It seems to not recognize the external wifi antenna I have connected at usb.
Can you advice me another firmware or what can i do to achieve usb recognition?
LuCI interface is different now from original.
Thanks
USB wifi support is not built in to the distribution build but you can install packages. Identify the chip in your wifi adapter then find the appropriate kmod package.
I will try to investigate that.
Can I get the previous LuCI GUI?
Before upgrade I do Backup, I see this is a small file (235 KB, ...tar.gz).
What can i do with it?
What version did you upgrade from?
The backup is a so-called tarball of all of your config files, the Linux equivalent of a zip file. You can examine it with any utility that works with tar.gz files. Some of these files may still be compatible with the latest version, depending on how old the previous version was.
Perfect.
Is there any way to find and install previous version?
I upgraded from original (chinese seller version). Pictures here from previous LuCI GUI.
Do you know how to install a complete package and return it to original?
If you want to go back, you'd have to get a copy of the original firmware from the manufacturer. Its a custom build they did.
The recommended way to install packages is with the opkg command or the System---Software page in Luci. It will automatically find and download the proper version of the .ipk's that you want, as long as the router is somehow connected to the Internet.
Again the first step is to know which chip is in your USB wifi adapter.
Yes, I doing all this now, Installing all files ...usb...ipk I will try to fix it. Any recomendations?
Usb external card is realtek brand
Just answer about the chip.
If you cannot find this information - install usbutils, then run lsusb, post the output, it should be something similar to this:
# lsusb
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 148f:5572 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT5572 Wireless Adapter
Hi to all. I installed firmware and a lot of additional files (to get usb external card recognized). Now router is running but I can not configure it to work as wifi repeater.
Here are some pictures to show it (files installed and wireless/interface sections).
I will search and install PPPOe additional files.
Any suggestion?
opkg list_installed from a ssh session would give you a nice searchable list in text format you could copy'n'paste. This collection of screenshots is …inconvenient.
Everything needed for PPPoE support is usually preinstalled on OpenWrt (forgive me not to check the screenshots in detail).

Can you check there? if any additional file is needed or any file needs to be erased?
Your wlan1 USB device has a connection, that means the drivers are working. Look at the network and firewall configuration.
A common problem is if the WAN (the wifi network you are trying to use for Internet) also uses the 192.168.1.X address range, you can't route out to it. You would need to change the LAN IP of your router to a different range.
Hi mk, I´m trying to change LAN IP address with no success. Do the changes and Save and apply button but still 192.168.1.1 there... What can I do?
Wait until the "changes were reverted" box appears then click "apply unchecked anyway." Then you will need to re-DHCP your PC and enter the new address into your browser.
