Zyxel NWA90AX Pro LED controls are not working

Hardware Questions and Recommendations

I've managed to flash Openwrt on the device - had to use serial cable and TFTP with initram image.
Any other binary was not accepted.

I have Openwrt running on it right now, but I can see that i.e. LED controls are not working (on any of the LED color). LED itself works in 'default mode', so fast blinking, slower blinking and steady light like any other device by default.

My theory is that support needs more customisation. than in this merge request: https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/19257

Firmware I was trying to update was some 6.6 revision from 2023. Standalone mode.

Despite that, device works :slight_smile:

and reports itself as:

Model Zyxel NWA50AX Pro
Architecture ARMv8 Processor rev 4
Target Platform mediatek/filogic
Firmware Version OpenWrt SNAPSHOT r30600-0e4a69e340 / LuCI Master 25.206.68149~5857572

@orlando would you know anything about this ?

Quite strange. I was able to customize the LED color and behavior with "LED configuration" page in LUCI.
Did you try @drut?
Same installation procedure.

Strange, now it works. Could be that one more reboot was needed or I don't have other ideas.

Does it show you the same 'model' value tho?
Shame it has to be uploaded via serial - good thing it's accessible.
