Router’s original interface no longer available - 2

Routers
1

The first version of this topic can be found here:

After trying to repeat the procedure decribed in the old thread to fix the same issue with a second router, I had to open this (new) thread, because there does not seem to be any firmware anymore on the page at
GL.iNet download center (which is now automatically fowarded to a URL that includes the subdirectory "stable")

A search for firmware AR750 leads to other pages, the URLs I cannot mention in this post (limited to 2 URLs), but most of those pages also end up linking back the aforementioned page, and the end result is that I cannot download the firmware.

So the question is now, "where can I download the latest firmware for AR750?"

Thanks again in advance for relevant advice.

Hello,

Which one version firmware did you want? I try to download it and share to you via other URL.

Accidentally deleted my reply. :frowning: Let's try that again (next post)

Thanks for the offer, @bruce - here is the information I have:

Router with the oldrer firmware (and the interface issue):

|Hostname|GL-AR750|
|Model|GL.iNet GL-AR750|
|Architecture|Qualcomm Atheros QCA9533 ver 2 rev 0|
|Firmware Version|OpenWrt 19.07.10 r11427-9ce6aa9d8d / LuCI openwrt-19.07 branch git-22.099.58928-786ebc9|
|Kernel Version|4.14.275|

Router with the updated firmware (working fine):

|Hostname|GL-AR750|
|Model|GL.iNet GL-AR750|
|Architecture|Qualcomm Atheros QCA9533 ver 2 rev 0|
|Target Platform|ath79/nand|
|Firmware Version|OpenWrt 22.03.4 r20123-38ccc47687 / LuCI openwrt-22.03 branch git-23.093.57104-ce20b4a|
|Kernel Version|5.10.176|

So I guess I'll need version 22.03.4 unless there is a newer one...
Thanks in advance!

Hello,

Since these are the openwrt and kernel info, Sorry I cannot learn about what GL firmware version.

If you require to get one of the GL firmware, please let me know the GL version on the GL GUI > SYSTEM > Upgrade

Hi again,
I cannot do that check with the router without the GL CI, but the previously updated router shows the following information:

 Current Firmware
    Version 4.3.18
    Firmware Type release1
    Compile Time 2024-08-23 14:53:25(UTC+08:00)

So I imagine I should install Version 4.3.18 on the other router, as well, unless you can provide a newer version that I would then install on both routers...

Thanks again.

@gulkun did you tried to reset it? Hold "reset" button for ten or more seconds. It must help

10

Hi @wmel, yes. When I use the reset button the router reboots and moves righ to LuCI, and all the network settings have been reset to their default settings.

11

@gulkun so there is only way to Uboot

13

@wmel @bruce
UBoot needs to have the firmwae, and bruce was going to make it available here via a new link... :slight_smile:

You can download the AR750 latest firmware here:

It is downloaded from GL firmware download center:

Thanks for the software!
I'll try to install it in the router and then report back here.

16

Update: I flashed the router and got it to work like the other router, that is, with both the GL interface and the LuCI.

I could not have guessed that the no longer working URL
https://dl.gl-inet.com/router/ar750/
had been replaced by
https://dl.gl-inet.com/router/ar750/stable

Anyway, I have now made backup copies of the binary file on USB memory, as a backup...

Thanks again to @bruce and the other helpful forum members.

A follow-up: after receiving a security update for the router (Creta), I checked to see if I could download an updated binary file from the archive.

What I expected to see in the archive was at least this

plus possibly a new version of the binary file that would incorporate the security update.

But I did not see any files at
https://dl.gl-inet.com/router/ar750/stable
this time... is there a different URL I need to know?

Thanks!

Further information: on the page at

there is the following reference:

GL-AR750 4.3.25 Native OpenWrt 22.03.4 Maintenance March 27th, 2023 March 27th, 2025

So where do we find the versions between 4.3.18 (which I recently downloaded from the page shown in the image) and version 4.3.25 ? (0^0)

Click the location of the red box to download the .bin file, this is the firmware.

There is no firmware version released between stable versions 4.3.18 and 4.3.25, for internal tests or beta version numbers. Latest stable firmware is 4.3.25.

Seeing your screenshot I realised that my browser was playing tricks on me

I used a different browser, which showed all files. Downloaded the update OK.

Thanks!
