Installation:
Update Mofi 5500 to at least stock firmware version 4.8.6. (Available on the Mofi website.)
Previous versions are untested in the upgrade process. Log into the LuCI web interface,
usually at 192.168.10.1 and visit the 'System->Backup/Flash Firmware' page.
Upload and flash the firmware as usual.
Note to Maintainers: Do not remove SUPPORTED_DEVICES from the Makefile!
The customized Mofi version of OpenWRT (stock firmware) expects to see mofi5500 as the device
name. The stock firmware does not allow for forcing an installation.
Without this line, users cannot upload the new firmware through the stock Mofi firmware.
This device uses cell modems that could use QMI or MBIM.
Add LuCI Modem Manager to allow people to use these. Also, if they have
two cell network cards, ethernet, USB, or other kinds of networks, they may wish
to use MWAN3 to allow failover amongst their networks.
Please compile it with mwan3 for multiple WAN connections.
