Comment:
Currently if your device has the Boya BY25Q128AS chip DO NOT install Openwrt. There is no driver for that chip and the install will fail. You will have to use serial recovery to fix it

Installation • >>

Installation Method 1: ssh -------------------------- 1. Connect PC to the lan port. Set the PC IP to 192.168.10.100 if required. 2. Navigate to http://192.168.10.1/ 3. Log into the Wavlink WebGUI. Default username/password is admin/admin. 4. Use WebGUI to upgrade the firmware to WAVLINK_WN586X3-A_M86X3A_V240113_WO-GDBYFM-modified.bin downloaded from https://github.com/themaverickdm/firmware-misc/tree/main/wavlink/wl-wn586x3 Warning: All settings will be lost! 5. Wait about 5 minutes, and after flashing is completed, log into the router using (with admin123 as password): ssh root@192.168.10.1 6. scp the openwrt image file onto the router, usually under /tmp somewhere. openwrt-mediatek-filogic-wavlink_wl-wn586x3-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin 7. Flash openwrt image file like so: mtd write \ openwrt-mediatek-filogic-wavlink_wl-wn586x3-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin \ firmware Warning: Previous firmware will be overwritten! 8. Wait about 5 minutes, and after the flashing is completed, set the PC IP to 192.168.1.100 if required and log into the router like so: ssh root@192.168.1.1 Installation Method 2: u-boot ----------------------------- 1. Connect UART: TX-> 586X3 RX, RX-> 586X3 TX, GND-> 586 GND. 2. Connect PC to the wan (not lan!) port. 3. Setup the tftp server on PC, set IP to 192.168.10.100, 4. Power on the device. Select '2' to upgrade firmware in Uboot. 5. Input the image name and start to upgrade.
