Installation
------------
Flash the initramfs image in the OEM firmware interface
(http://192.168.10.1/update.shtml).
When Openwrt boots, flash the sysupgrade image otherwise you won't be
able to keep configuration between reboots.
(Procedure tested on fw M33A8.V5030.190716 and M33A8.V5030.201204)
Restore OEM Firmware
--------------------
Flash the firmware update available online directly from LUCI.
You can download it from:
https://www.wavlink.com/en_us/firmware/details/
f2d247ecba.html
Warning: Remember to not keep settings!
Warning2: Remember to force the flash.
Notes
-----
1) Router mac addresses:
LAN XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:63 (factory @ 0xe006)
WAN XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:64 (factory @ 0xe000)
WIFI 2G/5G XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:65 (factory @ 0x04)
WIFI 5G XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:66 (factory @ 0x8004)
LABEL XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:65
In OEM firmware the DBDC wifi interfaces have these mac addresses:
2G) 82:XX:XX:XX:XX:65
5G) 80:XX:XX:XX:XX:65
While in OpenWrt the addresses are:
2G) 80:XX:XX:XX:XX:65
5G) 02:XX:XX:XX:XX:65
2) radio0 will show as 2G/5G interface but only 2G is really usable.
3) There is just one wifi led for all wifi interfaces.
It currently shows only the radio0 GHz wifi activity.
4) My unit was shipped with M33A8.V5030.190716 firmware which contains
the http://192.168.10.1/webcmd.shtml page. Entering "telnetd" in
the input box it will start the telnet daemon. Now you can access
the telnet console on port 2323 with these credentials:
username: admin2860
password: admin
5) The M33A8.V5030.201204 firmware version, doesn't contain anymore the
webcmd.shtml page. If your router is shipped with a previous firmware
version and you want to back it up, you can follow the back up
procedure of the WS-WN583A6.
