- MT7915 + MT7975 2x2 802.11ax (DBDC)
- 256MB RAM
- 128 MB flash
- 3 LEDs (red, orange, white), routed to one indicator in the top of the device
- 2 buttons (WPS in the back and Reset at the bottom of the device)
MAC addresses:
- LAN MAC (printed on the device) is stored in config2 partition as ASCII (entry factory_mac=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx)
- WAN MAC: LAN MAC + 3
- 2.4G MAC: LAN MAC + 1
- 5G MAC: LAN MAC + 2
The pins for the serial console are already labeled on the board (VCC, TX, RX, GND). Serial settings: 3.3V, 115200,8n1
Flashing via OEM Web Interface:
- Download openwrt-ramips-mt7621-dlink_covr-x1860-a1-squashfs-factory.bin via the OEM web interface firmware update
- The configuration wizard can be skipped by directly going to http://192.168.0.1/UpdateFirmware_Simple.html
Flashing via Recovery Web Interface:
- Set your IP address to 192.168.0.10, subnetmask 255.255.255.0
- Press the reset button while powering on the deivce
- Keep the reset button pressed until the status LED blinks red
- Open a Chromium based browser and goto http://192.168.0.1
- Download openwrt-ramips-mt7621-dlink_covr-x1860-a1-squashfs-recovery.bin
Revert back to stock using the Recovery Web Interface:
- Set your IP address to 192.168.0.10, subnetmask 255.255.255.25
- Press the reset button while powering on the deivce
- Keep the reset button pressed until the status LED blinks red
- Open a Chromium based browser and goto http://192.168.0.1
- Flash a decrypted firmware image from D-Link. Decrypting an firmware image is described below.
Decrypting a D-Link firmware image:
- Download https://github.com/openwrt/firmware-utils/blob/master/src/dlink-sge-image.c and https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openwrt/firmware-utils/master/src/dlink-sge-image.h
- Compile a binary from the downloaded file, e.g. gcc dlink-sge-image.c -lcrypto -o dlink-sge-image
- Run ./dlink-sge-image COVR-X1860 <OriginalFirmware> <OutputFile> -d
- Example for firmware 102b01: ./dlink-sge-image COVR-X1860 COVR-X1860_RevA_Firmware_102b01.bin COVR-X1860_RevA_Firmware_102b01_Decrypted.bin -d
