Arcadian AW1000 is a 5G(NR) Wifi Router marketed by Telstra as Smart Modem. It has a built-in Quectel RG500Q-EA 5G modem.
Installation
1. Download the initramfs image, rename it to initramfs.bin, and host it with tftp server.
2. Set your PC’s IP address to 192.168.1.10 and connect it to your router's yellow port 1.
3. Connect to your router via serial using an USB to UART/TTL adapter (serial parameters: 115200 8N1)
4. In your serial software, press Esc-key to interrupt U-Boot while turning on the router and run these commands:
setenv serverip 192.168.1.10
setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1
tftpboot initramfs.bin
bootm
5. Continue with ubiformat or sysupgrade.
1. Prepare a USB drive and insert to USB port. Adjust of=/dev/sd**X** to match your USB device.
dd bs=1M if=openwrt-qualcommax-ipq807x-arcadyan_aw1000-initramfs-uImage.itb of=/dev/sdX
2. Set your clients’s IP address to 192.168.1.10 and connect it to your router's yellow port 1.
3. Connect to your router via serial using an USB to UART/TTL adapter (serial parameters: 115200 8N1)
4. In your serial software, press Esc-key to interrupt U-Boot while turning on the router, and run these commands:
usb start
usbboot 0x44000000 0
bootm 0x44000000
5. Continue with ubiformat or sysupgrade.
Ubiformat: Coming from Telstra stock firmware
6. SCP ubiformat steps
scp factory.ubi root@192.168.1.1:/tmp/factory.ubi
ssh root@192.168.1.1
ubiformat /dev/mtd18 -y -f /tmp/factory.ubi
Sysupgrade: Coming from an OpenWRT firmware
7. SCP sysupgrade steps
scp sysupgrade.bin root@192.168.1.1:/tmp/sysupgrade.bin
ssh root@192.168.1.1
sysupgrade -n /tmp/sysupgrade.bin
Making USB boot permanent
1. Set your PC’s Ip address to 192.168.1.10 and connect it to your router on port 1 of the yellow ports 2. Connect to your router via Serial using the usb to uart/ttl adapter (serial parameters: 115200 8N1) 3. In your serial software, press Esc-key to interrupt U-Boot while turning on the router and run these commands:
setenv bootusb 'usb start && usbboot 0x44000000 0 && bootm 0x44000000' setenv bootcmd 'run bootusb; bootipq' saveenv reboot
4. If you have a USB device with a compatible initramfs attached it will boot from it. Otherwise it'll boot like normal.
Modem configuration
Embedded Quectel RG500Q-EA modem can be configured according to the general recommendations: How to use LTE modem in QMI mode for WAN connection
Both QMI and MBIM modes are supported by this modem.
Upgrade modem firmware
The modem firmware can be upgraded from OpenWrt console. Be careful! Depending on the firmware version downgrade may not be possible. The modem might be bricked or it might not reboot into the correct operating mode!
1. Install qfirehose firmware upgrade tool:
root@OpenWrt:~# opkg update
root@OpenWrt:~# opkg install qfirehose
2. Copy the folder containing firmware to /tmp on the router using your favourite tool supporting scp protocol (WinSCP on Windows needs to be configured to use "scp" instead of "sftp").
3. Run the upgrade:
root@OpenWrt:~# cd /tmp
root@OpenWrt:~# qfirehose -f firmware_folder/
