GL-iNet AX1800 OpenWrt firmware

Alex3 · 2024-12-13T13:26:16.545Z

Dear Solidus1983, thank for your effort to support AXT1800 owners, its a good piece of equipment which really needs new updates to survive.
I have installed your r26072 to run V2rayA with vless. The tunnel established without troubles, however the "tproxy" tranparent proxy option in setup returnes the following error. Other proxy options also do not route properly. I have same setup with Mango and Beryl, no such problems with them. Any idea how to solve?

failed to start v2ray-core: not support "tproxy" mode of transparent proxy: ExecCommands: iptables -w 2 -t mangle -A TP_OUT -p tcp -m addrtype --src-type LOCAL ! --dst-type LOCAL -j TP_RULE iptables v1.8.8 (nf_tables): Couldn't load match addrtype':No such file or directory Try iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information. : exit status 2

is it possible to have cups and relative packages for it from your repo?

Great News!

The pull request adding AX1800/AXT1800 into main OpenWrt has just been merged and firmwares are available in snapshots:

I feel stupid to ask, but how to do test this test image?

hecatae · 2025-03-25T13:04:48.497Z

OpenWrt snapshots lack a graphical user interface, so after flashing this you would need to install Luci via ssh

jeva · 2025-03-25T14:13:42.097Z

any quick walk through ?

I tried that Snapshot last night when I first saw it available...Tried several times installing...Wound up with a brick each time...Could not connect to it and could not SSH into it (Did not keep settings when flashing from gl.inet firmware)...Could not even ping it...You'll also notice you can't build a customized version yet on the Firmware Selector... I think it's still a work in progress...

how to fix this?

Do not try to upgrade directly as a sysupgrade image from the GL-Inet software, even from luci over in advanced... Installing sysupgrade will likely result in a device that can't talk - it's not bricked however, uboot recovery can get things back up and running...

qualcommax: ipq60xx: add GL.iNet GL-AX1800/AXT1800 support
    
    Specifications:
      SoC:     Qualcomm IPQ6000
      RAM:     512 MiB
      Flash:   128 MiB NAND
      ETH:     Qualcomm QCA8075
      WLAN1:   2.4GHz 802.11b/g/n/ax 2x2
      WLAN2:   5GHz 802.11a/n/ac/ax 2x2
      Button:  Reset, Switch
      USB:     1x 3.0
      SD slot: 1 in GL-AXT1800
    
    Install via stock firmware:
      Upload factory.bin in stock firmware's upgrade page,
      do not preserve settings.
    
    Install via uboot web failsafe:
      Push the reset button for 5 seconds, then use broswer
      to access http://192.168.1.1, and upload factory.ubi.
    
    Afterwards upgrade can use sysupgrade image.

factory.ubi from u-boot recovery works fine for first flash over from gl-inet firmware.

sfx2000,

Thanks...That's interesting because I can flash Snapshots from GL.inet Flint2 firmware without issue...If I flash factory.ubi from uboot on the Flint 1 can I get back to GL.inet Firmware (easily)??

You'd have to ask the GL-Inet support folks - that being said, with the right image, you should be able to go back from u-boot recovery...

motox22a · 2025-03-26T01:10:21.648Z

sfx2000,

Thanks for the info...Did not realize that about the factory.bin and factory.ubi files...
I'm back on GL.inet firmware right now...Will try again later with factory.ubi.

I think it's still a work in progress...

Snapshot/Master is always a work in progress - going there is a decision not taken lightly.

Just know that being now on the mainline in OpenWRT is a good thing - but for most folks, it's really early, and better off waiting a bit...

The stock firmware from GL-Inet is quite good - most are better off here for now.

motox22a · 2025-03-26T01:13:05.950Z

I've been on OpenWRT Snapshots on the Flint 2 since last year with very little trouble but that's been my only experience.

sfx2000 · 2025-03-26T01:19:56.967Z

MT6000 is a very different platform compared to the AX/AXT1800's...

Nice to see at the moment as we can have an apples/apples compare between MediaTek and Qualcomm - MT6000 has an advantage with the 4*4:4 radios and more clocks, but Qualcomm's radios are generally better, IMHO...

Anyways - it'll be interesting to see how things go - I've got a Flint2 on hand, and a SlateAX as well - and a Flint(1) on order...

motox22a · 2025-03-26T03:46:12.021Z

Well what happened was a whole lotta nuttin'...
Armed with factory.bin, factory.ubi, and sysupgrade.bin (All for the AX1800 from the Firmware Selector Page)...I first tried factory.bin from the gl.inet web interface...Had to do a forced install...
Did not work and required entering into UBOOT...Next I tried factory.ubi from UBOOT...Nothing...Had to get back into UBOOT...OK..Tried Factory.bin from UBOOT...Nothing...Had to get back to UBOOT...And I had previously tried sysupgrade.bin from UBOOT and GL.inet Web interface and I already knew that didn't work either...Not sure what is going on...My UBOOT version is 2.0 which I believe is the most current for the FLINT 1 Router...So I just flashed GL.inet 4.70 firmware back and retored config for now...The FLINT 1 serves as just a backup router for my Flint 2 (I owned the Flint 1 about a year before the Flint 2 came out)...Guess I'll just standby on this and monitor the forums and see what the uptake is on this...
