Im desperate for help at this point. Im trying to install openwrt on cudy wr3000 and i cant get it. Can someone please give me the steps to install it

Don't need anything with WAP functionality as I use unifi APs for Wi-Fi. Need something that's easy to set up port forwarding for my unRAID server and reverse proxy and will allow VLAN tagging for guest and other networks I want to segregate on my network.

Hi everyone. Currently running OpenWRT on a dell optiplex (on a proxmox VM). Also have 2 x Tenda WiFi access points but I’d prefer them to also run OpenWRT (I have the axe5700 which I’m told can’t run OpenWRT) . Any suggestions would be great. One being an outdoor point would be very helpful .

Thanks

I'm using this factory snapshot for the linksys MX4300:
https://firmware-selector.openwrt.org/?version=SNAPSHOT&target=qualcommax/ipq807x&id=linksys_mx4300

I've got it up and running, but I'm having wireless issues. It's got 3 radios:
5ghz low channels
5ghz high channels
2.4 ghz

I've tried just about every combination of channel, mode, and width on each.
Current settings and Fastest I can get is are WPA3-SAE, AX, auto channel, 80mhz width. With that configuration, I can get wireless speeds of ~1200mbps on my galaxy 23 with that, which is fantastic. The problem is that the fastest I can get on either of my windows laptops is ~80mbps. The old Asus router with stock firmware that I'm trying to replace can get a little over double that...

This is my first openWRT build, I'd love some pointers on what I might be doing wrong. Thanks so much.

Hi, I'm looking for a good used router to install openwrt. I found a Phicomm K3C AC1900 for a good price, looks like an interesting router, but I didn't find much information if there is openwrt support for this model. Could someone help me?

Hello,

I have an RT-AX53U router with Openwrt wich i have been happily using for a couple of years now behing an Vodaphone Cable Router in Modem mode. But recently i moved in with my Girlfriends Appartment and she has an Telekom DSL Connection with an Speedport 4 Router. I now have tried a multitue of things to get an connetion but no sucess so far :(

I tried to connect it to the speedport 4 in modem mode and found https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/wan/isp-configurations but i dont really get where i am supposed to tag my wan port to VLAN 7 but the only place i see to configure VLANs is in the lan_brige wich doesnt have the wan port also creating a vlan 802.1q and adding the wan port didnt work i just get an connetion error.

The next question is the RT-AX53U is listed on the Devices with supported integrated modems list https://openwrt.org/toh/views/toh_modem_supported does this mean i can use it directly on the dsl wire without the speedport 4 ? When i connect it that way i dont even get any packages sent on the wan port ?

Thanks for any help

Hi,

I just finished setting up an GL-iNet Flint 2 with OpenWRT 23.05.5. Things seems to be working ok, except I can't get any of my Alexa devices (Dot or Show) to connect to the Internet. I've reset the devices several times, but they won't complete the setup, which I assume means they are not talking to the Alexa servers.

I never had any specific firewall rules on my previous router to allow Alexa traffic (it all just worked out of the box).....do I need something now with OpenWRT??

My logs are filled with time.android.com and it breaks some whatsapp functionality

daemon.warn dnsmasq[1]: possible DNS-rebind attack detected: 
time.android.com

Totally new to this.... how would I tell when the update for a Linksys MX5300 is going to be added to the stable version? Thanks!

Hey guys,

I think I need some help. I want to route all internet bound traffic of one LXC through a Wireguard VPN to the Internet. So I thought it would be a good idea to set up OpenWRT to handle the routing.

I installed OpenWRT, added a new virtual bridge in Prox (vmbr1) witha vlan tag and added both the "real" bridge (vmbr0) connecting OpenWRT to my usual network and the virtual bridge to openwrt. I am not sure how I can get openwrt to now route the traffic coming over the vmbr1 to vmbr0 now?

Can someone help me out?

Hello all,

I'm a fairly descent veteran when it comes to networking. I don't do it professionally anymore so I usually can figure this stuff out. I'm at a total loss today.

What I have I am using a Linksys WRT1900AC v1 running OpenWrt 23.05.5 r24106-10cc5fcd00. Everything seems to be running normally on all lan ports and wifi. I needed to expand my switch so I purchased a TPLINK TL-SG108. For some reason I can't get the devices connected to the TPLINK to talk to the Linksys. So when I plug in my raspberry pi directly into the Linksys it works instantly and can reach the internet, I plug into the TPLINK with the TPLINK connected to the Linksys. there is no connection. Interestingly enough, each device on the TPLINK can talk to each other. I did switch out the TPLINK for another switch, thinking that maybe something is wrong with the switch. I also tried replacing all my cables and I even tried an old patch cable to see if that old issue had anything to do with it.

It is almost like the Linksys can't read the MAC addresses on the TPLINK. I can tell this is the case because if I disconnect all the device on the TPLINK and only leave my Raspberry Pi the Pi can ping the router and Google just fine. So I am assuming I am missing some setting to allow multiple devices on one port.

any ideas?

Olá à todos! Instalei o openwrt num roteador antigo tp-link wr840n e ficou muito ruim. O wifi funciona, mas demora muito para abrir um site. A conexão a cabo não funciona na tv, conecta a internet mas não abre nem o ytube. Tem alguma solução? Tem como reverter para o original?

Hello everyone,

I've just bought a Zyxel wifi AP for my home network and am now wondering if I should go the extra step to install openwrt on it to use it with my OPNSense router.

Hello

I have a AP with 2 ports from PUSR it is built ontop of openwrt it has 2 ports 1 2.5GPOE WAN/LAN and 1 1G LAN port It is powered via POE, my POE switch is 1G ports only. can i use the second port in a bonded pair currently it is just a switch

I have an EAP225 outdoor with openWRT. I have an existing network with OpenWRT as the only OS in use. All APs apart from the EAP225 are connected to the router via Ethernet and are dumb APs. I have a device I'm trying to get to show up on my main router via the singular Ethernet port on the EAP225 over the existing WLAN. However, when trying to set everything up, it's not appearing to use the Ethernet MAC address or such for the device attached, but rather the NIC on the router. Can anyone help me with this? I'm just trying to get my Pentair system bridged into my network over WiFi. The Pentair system provides PoE power to the EAP225 and obviously is what I'm trying to get to connect to my WLAN

On the original Cudy firmware, speeds exceeded 800 Mbps.

Where could the problem be?
It seems that something is artificially limiting the speed to around 400 Mbps. How can this be resolved?

Is there a way to revert to the original Cudy firmware?

Hi,

last week I bought a Cudy WR3000H and flashed it with an OpenwRT 24.10 snapshot release.
Everything was working fine and today I tried to replace my existing TP-Link Archer AX23 which is running on 23.05, but connecting to my ISP didn't fully work due to trouble with the DS-Lite package as it seems. On the new router no IPv4 addreess can be retrieved/assigend and then stops and starts the automatically created interface in a loop. Unfortunately in the system logs I cannot see any dedicated entry that points to a certain issue, just the messages the xyz_6_4 interface is removed and created again.
The configuration of the PPPoE interface is the same as on the AX23 with which the DS-Lite connection is working fine (see the snippet from /etc/config/network):

config interface 'VDSL'
option proto 'pppoe'
option device 'wan.7'
option username 'vodafone-vdsl.xyzxyz/xyzyxyzxyz'
option password '12345678'
option ipv6 'auto'
option mtu '1492'

Does anybody have experience with the DS-Lite package and configuration on OpenWRT 24.10 and could help?

Hello everyone.

VPN provider(hideme) has script for setup, but it went in wrong way https://postimg.cc/wynzSD9K Tech support asked my about logs ( https://pastebin.com/xWr4Qxpy ) and disappeared after that. May someone have idea what went wrong ?

Randomized MAC addresses are basically easy to detect (hw address/mask: 02:00:00:00:00:00/02:00:00:00:00:00). However, as I saw from the source code, hostapd does not support MAC masks in "deny_mac_file". I could simply do it via ebtables but I don't even want them to associate with the AP. Any ideas?

Hello OpenWrt Community,

I would like to switch my home network to openWrt. However, I would like to test whether everything works without any problems beforehand. Is there a tool for setting up a test environment?

The plan is not to convert the existing FritzBox to openWrt (it belongs to my ISP), but to use a Cisco Meraki MR18 as a WLAN access point. The Meraki AP will then be operated with openWrt, and the openWrt one will probably be added later.

Many thanks for the tips :-)

Feeling like quite the noob here - first time working with one of these devices and no matter what I do I can not get it to boot from either SD or USB, it will only boot to the stock Android install that it came with. I've used their tool and others like Rufus to write various images to a MicroSD card and USB drive, that process completes but I'm left with a drive with a ton of small/various partitions - I'm assuming those are all the various Linux partitions that I just can't read from Windows.

Regardless it will only boot to Android, I feel like I'm being stupid and am missing something very basic - but I don't see anything in the docs that indicate anything - just "boot from SD" which it never does.

What am I missing? In what exact way am I being so stupid??

Resolved.

Trying to access the web GUI from another subnet. I can access when plugged into the AP and setting a static ip on my laptop but when connected to my firewall and trying to access from my laptop on another subnet I can’t access the web gui.

I’ve had a look around and can’t see anywhere to allow this in the openwrt config. I’ve tried adding a traffic route from my laptops subnet to the ap device but still not getting any joy.

My firewall was allowing the netgear web gui before changing to openwrt so believe it’s something in openwrt.

I’ve set the br lan interface as a static IP with the firewalls gateway etc.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

There have been following updates to my packages for #OpenWrt:

1. pbr 1.1.8-r6 (OpenWrt 24.10/snapshots)
   • bugfix: more reliable/robust start thru special on_boot trigger
   • bugfix: negation in dest_addr
2. adblock-fast 1.1.3-r1 (OpenWrt 24.10/snapshots)
   • bugfix: more reliable/robust start thru special on_boot trigger
   • bugfix: proper processing of additional StevenBlack lists
   • improvement: remote block-list in default config: CERT Polska - Dangerous Websites
3. https-dns-proxy 2023.12.26-r2 (OpenWrt 24.10/snapshots)
   • bugfix: more reliable/robust start thru special on_boot trigger
   • improvement: better DNS Hijack logic

The luci apps for those packages have also been version bumped to the same version. The luci-app-pbr and luci-app-adblock-fast will let you know if an update is required, otherwise you can run an older version of the luci app than the principal package.

Hi, in addition to the magic adblock does on my OpenWRT router and the clients connected to it: What do I have to do to ensure that my OpenWRT router uses Cloudfair's DNS Server as upstream DNS server?

Thanks a lot!

I have multiple WAN interfaces (three ISPs) and I'm already using MWAN3 for load balancing.

I can create a WireGuard interface and route some traffic through it (but not all) using MWAN3's policy-based routing.

However, I don't see any options for specifying which WAN connection WireGuard should use. I want to control this instead of letting it default to the connection with the lowest gateway metric.

Can anyone tell me how to specify which WAN interface WireGuard should use to establish its connection?

I am using an x86 with ext4 running 23.05.3, I have dockers running on the openwrt using the normal dockerd in the /opt area.

Previously, the statement about attended system upgrade on the wiki was:

Use sysupgrade: this is default upgrading procedure but the least recommended option for x86 machines. Proceed to Sysupgrade for details.

But now the statement says:

On most embedded devices that run OpenWrt, upgrading is much simpler than the first installation and consists of simply executing the sysupgrade command. This holds true for the x86 platforms as well.

So I'm confused. If I do a sysupgrade on my x86 install, will it blow away my partitioning and dockers? I want to upgrade from 23.05.5, but I can't tell if doing so well break everything or how is best to proceed.

And yes, always do a FULL backup.
