Xiaomi mi wifi 3 support

There is no R3P LEDE support right now. This is the correct router https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Xiaomi_MiWiFi_Pro , right ? If yes, then u can build a lede firmware for MT7621 then flash it. But before that check if u have ssh access from lan & find a way to recover it without flashing the lede.

I have ssh acces and I can run the mtd command. I just don't know what to do right now. Should I try to flash the stock firmware image ? But which partition should I flash ? Padavan and the stock firmware have different partitions so I can't follow the instructions in this thread.

I posted a method in a Chinese forum.

Band width 40MHz not available please fix ptpt52
Thanks

Thanks y'all! The router is now running @ptpt52's latest "NATCAP"[1]. I've noticed that upon connecting some clients[2], the wifi goes into a crazy set of continous WiFi reboots. No workaround besides disconnecting the problematic client and rebooting the router.

That being said, has anyone built a stable lede/openwrt-based firmware that I could try?

Also, interesting commits by psyborg55 (rt2x00): https://github.com/psyborg55/openwrt/commits/master

Cheers!

does @psyborg commits fix the issues? @raz123
I should merge his commits for testing.

@raz123
The latest firmware has merged the psyborg55 commits. I am looking forward to your test feedback.

Thanks! Installed NATCAP build 20180126. Will provide feedback in ~48 hours.

Be patient, will be fixed soon

I finally had time to connect to the serial console. Seems like the kernel was somehow screwed.

The front LED is purple and i see no further output on console. What can i do to recover it?

Been a few days now. Have not noticed a single WiFi dropout! Thanks!

Just set up as a repeater, i'm noticing some dropout from the client connection (61 dbm - 69 dbm reported in web ui)

A post was merged into an existing topic: Xiaomi WiFi Router 3G

Just finished recovering from LEDE...

It might just work, but not for my needs. I needed a DUAL band repeater (which it isn't yet) and flashed it with hopes I can make it work. Not long it pleased (until I ran iw list).. No support for WDS whatsoever, although LUCI states it switches mode and even config says 'option wds '1' '..

ptpt52
In case it can be something done about it, please draw some attention to this matter.
Also, the "wide" channel selection for CN (and others) works only in AP mode. Switching to anything else gives BIG limitations (20dBm for both 2.4GHz and 5GHz; also 2.4GHz misses channels 12 and 13). I've read that some time ago people changed some 'regulations' database before compilation, but then again, since LEDE those have been hidden somewhere deeper than just cldr folder. If by any chance You could fix this as well, please contact me, I have some details for the signal strength that I would like to implement.

After all this done, would gladly install LEDE. Untill then - PROMETHEUS does the best job so far.

Good Luck and looking forward to hearing from You all soon.

Dear all,

Many thx

Ok, I did a stupid thing. I try to merge the pulls of @ptpt52 to lede-17.01 branch not the master. https://bitbucket.org/shibajee/lede-source . Flashed it, now getting a constant boot loop with yellow led. Is there anything to do before getting a serial console ?

I'm having some issues with 5 GHz wifi. Can't get my pc connected with ac, just a at 54Mbps and with 2.4 Ghz n is just at 72Mbps.
Is it solvable in someways?

new version failed to connect to bandwidth to 2,4 gz, connected with no network
Please check fix mir3

I flashed the router as listed and it worked perfectly. Thank you!
