Device is the same as Xiaomi Mi Router 4A Gigabit, except of: - 5G WiFi is MT7663 - addresses of leds, wifi and eth ports are slightly changed Specs: SoC: MT7621 CPU: 2 x 880 MHz ROM: 16 MB RAM: 128 MB WLAN: MT7603, MT7663 MAC addresses: WAN **** factory 0xe006 (label) LAN *:f7 factory 0xe000 2.4 GHz *:f8 factory 0x0000+0x4 (mtd-eeprom+0x4) 5 GHz *:f9 factory 0x8000+0x4 (mtd-eeprom+0x4) Installation: Factory firmware is based on a custom OpenWrt 17.x. Installation is the same as for Xiaomi Mi Router 4A Gigabit. Probably the easiest way to install is to use the script from this repository: https://github.com/acecilia/OpenWRTInvasion/pull/155 In a more advanced case, you can do everything yourself: - gain access to the device through one of the exploits described in the link above - upload sysupgrade image to /tmp - overwrite stock firmware: # mtd -e OS1 -r write /tmp/sysupgrade.bin OS1 Recovery: Recovery procedure is the same as for Xiaomi Mi Router 4A Gigabit. Possible options can be found here: https://openwrt.org/inbox/toh/xiaomi/xiaomi_mi_router_4a_gigabit_edition One of the ways is to use another router with OpenWrt: - connect both routers by their LAN ports - download stock firmware from [1] - place it inside /tmp/test.bin on the main router - configure PXE/TFTP on the main router - power off 4Av2, hold Reset button, power on - as soon as image download via TFTP starts, Reset can be released - blinking blue wan LED will indicate the end of the flashing process, now router can be rebooted [1] http://cdn.cnbj1.fds.api.mi-img.com/xiaoqiang/rom/r4av2/miwifi_r4av2_firmware_release_2.30.28.bin Signed-off-by: Dmitry Sokolov <e323w@proton.me> |

OpenWrt Project is a Linux operating system targeting embedded devices. Instead of trying to create a single, static firmware, OpenWrt provides a fully writable filesystem with package management. This frees you from the application selection and configuration provided by the vendor and allows you to customize the device through the use of packages to suit any application. For developers, OpenWrt is the framework to build an application without having to build a complete firmware around it; for users this means the ability for full customization, to use the device in ways never envisioned.
Sunshine!
Download
Built firmware images are available for many architectures and come with a package selection to be used as WiFi home router. To quickly find a factory image usable to migrate from a vendor stock firmware to OpenWrt, try the Firmware Selector.
If your device is supported, please follow the Info link to see install instructions or consult the support resources listed below.
An advanced user may require additional or specific package. (Toolchain, SDK, ...) For everything else than simple firmware download, try the wiki download page:
Development
To build your own firmware you need a GNU/Linux, BSD or MacOSX system (case sensitive filesystem required). Cygwin is unsupported because of the lack of a case sensitive file system.
Requirements
You need the following tools to compile OpenWrt, the package names vary between distributions. A complete list with distribution specific packages is found in the Build System Setup documentation.
binutils bzip2 diff find flex gawk gcc-6+ getopt grep install libc-dev libz-dev
make4.1+ perl python3.6+ rsync subversion unzip which
Quickstart
-
Run
./scripts/feeds update -a
to obtain all the latest package definitions defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default -
Run
./scripts/feeds install -a
to install symlinks for all obtained packages into package/feeds/ -
Run
make menuconfig
to select your preferred configuration for the toolchain, target system & firmware packages. -
Run
make
to build your firmware. This will download all sources, build the cross-compile toolchain and then cross-compile the GNU/Linux kernel & all chosen applications for your target system.
Related Repositories

different categories. All packages are installed via the OpenWrt package
manager called opkg
. If you're looking to develop the web interface or port
packages to OpenWrt, please find the fitting repository below.
