I see. I just followed the instructions posted from your site. Will give it a try when no one is using the internet. Thank you again!
Yeah I was still able to ping 192.168.1.1
No problem. Are we talking about the website instructions.
If so which section and how would you change it and i will adjust it once i have had my coffee, as i have been up till 4am on all this.
Sorry for the trouble. Yeah, from the site where your images are hosted. For uboot flash, it has to be in http://192.168.1.1/uboot.html

I have now edited the website hosting the files so it now shows
Release the reset pin and head to http://192.168.1.1 , If you are flashing uboot then head to http://192.168.1.1/uboot.html

New build, with Fan Control for the AXT1800.
Download
Link: R21361
GL-AX1800 (Flint)
Whats working :
- LAN
- WAN
- WiFi
- USB
- Reset Button
- WPS/Sync (Assigned as WPS)
Whats not working:
- Please let me know
GL-AXT1800 (Slate AX)
Whats Working:
- LAN
- WAN
- WiFi
- SDCARD
- USB
- FAN (Please read further down)
- Toogle (Assigned as WPS)
Whats not working:
- Fan_control doesn’t start on boot known issue open ssh and execute
/etc/init.d/fan_control start
Important!: The fan control now controls the fan speed to the following temp markers and fan speed.
Temp = Percentage (Value in cur_state)
45c = 0% (0) Fan speed
58c = 50% (128) Fan speed
85c = 100% (254) Fan speed
The fan tuning will be required and over time it will be adjusted. However for now it should be sane enough. The fan_monitor in /usr/sbin/ is where the fan speeds and temp markers are at and can be edited with vim If you have a suggestion that is better please let me know.
Testing
What needs to be checked:
- Fan works correctly after running
/etc/init.d/fan_control startin SSH - WiFi is stable (Speedtests and logs please)
- VPN Performance (Speedtest please and logs , OpenVPN and Wireshark)
Thanks to @anomeome for the fan script!
Solutions
- Fan boots at 100% ssh or open Terminal in LUCI then issue
echo "0" > /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/cooling_device0/cur_state "this stop the fan but allow the monitor to continue controlling the fan.

I have another problem. I’m getting update failed error when flashing uboot file. Does this have anything to do with a refurbished device?
I could be wrong in flashing as well.
What I did:
- Downloaded openwrt-ipq60xx-generic-glinet_gl-ax1800-squashfs-nand-factory.ubi
- Set my PC IP to 192.168.1.66 and subnet 255.255.255.0
- Pressed and held the reset button while turning the router on, waited for 10 seconds until the LED turns white
- Headed to http://192.168.1.1/uboot.html and flashed the file I downloaded
- Got the error above
Please tell me if I was doing it wrong
You was doing wrong, the factory image must be flashed in http://192.168.1.1 area uboot update files normally have uboot in the name and only then you flash in http://192.168.1.1/uboot.html`

/etc/init.d/fan_control enablethen/etc/init.d/fan_control start
Important!: The fan control now controls the fan speed between 45c to 70c via an 8 step fan curve. If the process is killed the fan will go to 100% unless you issue /etc/init.d/fan_control disable and reboot to which the fan will remain off.
The fan tuning will be required and over time it will be adjusted.
However you can adjust the fan curve by editing /usr/sbin/fan_monitor you can also set DEBUG_MODE=false to DEBUG_MODE=true and run the script in ssh and it will show both the temps and fan speed as an output.

Thanks to @anomeome for the fan script idea.

http://192.168.1.1/uboot.html This address is for flashing uboot itself.

Thanks for the clarification.
That’s what I did yesterday. I went to http://192.168.1.1/ and waited, but the router didn’t reboot. I’ll try again soon from a Linux machine.
Just an update, I have tried flashing through my Linux machine and also changed LAN cables several times to no avail. The firmware was uploaded successfully according to the firmware update page (http://192.168.1.1) but the device did not restart. The LED light blinked rapidly for a few seconds right after clicking on the Update Firmware button then becomes solid.
Is it okay to update firmware with the sysupgrade.bin file?
Do not flash a sysupgrade file in uboot.
What version of uboot do you have installed?
Got into uboot page and look under the submit button let me know version number as you might need to update your boots.
It’s version 2.0. Where can I get an update for uboot?

Have fun and remember logs logs logs, for any issues.
Now you have flashed the factory you can now just use the sysupgrade images and flash via the webgui.
