GL-MT2500A Wan issues openwrt

Routers
1

Hello All,

I have been reading all over the interweb, but haven’t found anything related.
What I want is to get a working version of openwrt 24 and upwards on it so I can use my usb wifi.

Getting openwrt on it is no problem but no matter what version I use the Wan is not working.
It seems like there is no connection, no blinking lights at my switch.
I tried different cables, switches, routers and modems but no luck.
The older versions of Gl.inet firm also have this issue on my brume 2, it states no cable connected to wan port.
Wan works on gl.inet firmware 4.6.2 and up, with all devices and cables I tried before, and the light are flashing on my switch.

I am no expert with linux or openwrt so could realy use some help.

is there any other way to identify this MT2500A v2 version?

Not shure what you mean.
When I type this I get a not found reply.

When compiling the OpenWRT-24 firmware, you need to modify the DTS and add the en8811h driver

Ok.. Thanks

I tried but keep getting errors when compiling.
Will setup my desktop with linux and give that a go later this week.
My laptop take hours to end up with an error.

Well no luck compiling an image.
Been trying for almost a week now but cant get it done.

I did create 1 with wifi drivers installed last week but no nothing I do works.
That one I used to get connected and install the en8811h drivers but stil no lan.
Is there a way to compile online or could someone send it to me?

I can compile successfully, but you might have encountered a device tree syntax error. Please revise the dts file

Thank you very much!!!

This worked.. in your first reply it was just "d" and not "0xd" like you show me here or I misunderstood it...
Compiling was don in les the 10 minutes, before it took hours :astonished:
And now it works like a Charm.

Would you also happen to know how I can add an extra tap in luci?
I am hoping to link to Adguard home in the service tap .
So I can just click on te tap and adguardhome opens .
I have been reading all I could find about it but I cant seem to be able to find the Lua files on my device.
I have been using winSCP to brows through the folders but no luck so far.

Thanks again.

Hello Pyotr...

https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-developer/toolchain/use-buildsystem

This is the guide I followed.
My first tries took a long time.
You can either use a linux computer/laptop or run vm.
I use a linux mint laptop and Debian vm.

Personally I like to use a linux machine and modify the files in the gui.
Then make a minimal image for the device.
When I know all is working.. I make the image whit all the extras I like.

Thanks a lot!
Already compiling on my Ubuntu VPS...
But it takes too long time :frowning:
May be you can share ready binary?
