AR300M16 connection issues under version 4.3.7

  • How to switch to NAND for 128MB. Confusingly in Luci → System I see NOR at model and nand at target platform? I tried the Dip switch method in Uboot without succes. Will try again. I came to this topic here, but it is quite daunting and for me requires guidance tips.

From above quote to switch to NAND: Which file from here do I need to flash in u-boot ? I can confirm file openwrt-23.05.2-ath79-nand-glinet_gl-ar300m-nand-squashfs-factory did not work and remains in NOR.

From there follow below steps for U-Boot:

  1. Poweroff, connect Ethernet cable, press hold reset, power up (by power cable)
  2. In uboot enable DIP switch
  3. Do step 1 again and switch button to left
  4. select file to NAND flash

I did these approximate steps few times without succes. So I assume I am using the wrong file
