Hi OpenWrt forums, I'm new to the router firmware flashing scene and I'm looking for some help.

Currently I have a Totolink A3002RU router acting as a gateway to the internet. I wanted to load OpenWrt on it because I'm pretty sure it has a backdoor in its factory firmware. I've looked at OpenWrt and DD Wrt supported device lists but I don't see A3002RU or Totolink listed.

From the device requirements page it seems OpenWrt will work, since my device has
Realtek chipset (RTL8197DN (600 MHz)),
8 MiB of flash(GigaDevice GD25Q64BSIG),
64 MiB of Ram (ESMT M14D5121632A-2.5B)

There's a place to upgrade the firmware, but I haven't tried anything in case I brick my router.

Thanks for your help.

Hello, I'm pretty sure it has a backdoor too (at this price we cannot have everything!) I'm also looking for an openwrt firmware, thank you in advance!

I would also be interested in getting OpenWrt running on this router. It's well-built with decent features for the price, just that the stock firmware is not great to say the least. I'd be happy to try to provide any information I can from the router. There's even a.. rather convenient.. "System Command" page.

Bad news: Not a single device with RTL8197 in the ToH which is supported:
https://openwrt.org/toh/views/toh_dev_a … 5D=RTL8197

Search the wiki for Realtek / RTL8197 to see the current support status for this SOC.

e.g. https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=46606
