FAQ:
What models are currently supported? At the moment, hardware support is as follows:
- The younger models of the first generation Keenetic Series (white) are fully supported: Keenetic Lite revB, Keenetic 4G revB (built on a Ralink RT5350 processor, 8 MB flash drive)
- The average models of the first generation Keenetic Series (white) are fully supported: Keenetic Lite revA, Keenetic 4G revA (the hardware is identical to Keenetic, but the flash drive is reduced to 4 MB, the Lite is not USB)
- The older models of the first generation Keenetic Series (white) are partially supported: Keenetic (no problem), Keenetic Giga (there is a problem with the built-in gigabit switch - it works in the dull hub mode) (built on the Ralink RT3052 processor, 8 MB flash drive)
- The younger models of the second generation Keenetic Series (black) are fully supported: Keenetic 4G II, Keenetic Start - hardware identical to Keenetic 4G revB and Keenetic Lite revB, but the built-in flash drive is halved (up to 4 MB)
- Secondary models of the second generation Keenetic Series (black) are partially supported: Keenetic Lite II, Keenetic Omni (built on the Ralink (MTK) MT7620N processor, 8 MB flash drive)
- The older models of the second generation Keenetic Series (black)NOT SUPPORTED: Keenetic II, Keenetic Giga II, Keenetic Ultra (built on the Ralink RT6856 processor, 16 MB flash drive)
Support for second-generation medium models will soon improve somewhat, support for older models is not planned (OpenWRT does not currently support the Ralink RT6856 processor on which these routers are built, and it’s not known when it will start (and whether it will start at all)).
No routers have HwNAT support (the younger models do not have it stupidly, but it is not supported in the OpenWRT for middle and senior ones, and will not be supported).
Models with 4Mb memory and USB (Keenetic 4G revA and Keenetic 4G II at the moment (temporarily) were left without an update. But not everything is still lost, assemblies for them will still be released.
What is the difference between Factory and Sysupgrade firmware? Factory can be flashed via the web interface of the original NDMS firmware, and Sysupgrade is designed to update the already installed OpenWRT
What will happen if I flash the Factory version of the firmware into the already installed OpenWRT? Nothing wrong. Sysupgrade simply uses the space in the internal memory of the router more efficiently.
How to return to NDMS? Just flash the NDMS firmware through the web interface of the router.
Why does the router’s web interface not open after returning to NDMS? Clear your browser cache.
What if there is not enough space to install packages? Copy the contents of the / overlay / directory to the partition from the ext2 / 3/4 file system on a USB drive and mount this section into the / overlay / directory
Instruction:
OpenWRT on routers of the ZyXEL Keenetic series (Post # 30621746)What to do if there is not enough space to install packages and there is no USB? Pichalka to you = (
Changed the Wi-Fi channel - and Wi-Fi says that "The wireless network is disconnected or not connected" and does not work. I changed the channel back - Wi-Fi did not work. What to do? You can change the channel, but you need to change
HT mode at 20MHz for complete happiness. Or configure HT Mode correctly:
If you leave
Second 40MHz channel below and put the channel
less than 5 or put
Second 40MHz channel on top and select a channel
more than 9 - WLAN chip is blocked until the device is reset on power (a simple reboot does not help). Reset
not needed- simply set the correct channel and restart the router on power.
This is N mode - there are only 2 non-overlapping channels available: 3 (HT mode = Second 40MHz channel from the top) and 11 (HT mode = Second 40MHz channel from below).
When you leave these (3 and 11) channels, the connection speed drops dramatically (interference, yes). And without a second 40MHz channel, you cannot reach a speed of 150 / 300Mbps, only 65 / 130Mbps will remain.
The choice of channel 11 as the default setting is due to the fact that there is a slightly higher radiated power from some sources, which means there will be better coverage.
Still - I advise you to read the article
Wi-Fi: unobvious nuances (for example, home network)for a better understanding of how to configure Wi-Fi.
How to configure OpenWRT tosteal neighbor Wi-Fi and give it to yourselfconnect to the provider via Wi-Fi? You need to delete all the networks, then click the "Scan" button and add the network to which you want to connect
to the WAN zone. Then you need to return to the networks screen (there the connection to the network that we added will be displayed there) and click the "Add" button. They won’t let you choose a channel (Binding to channel 3 used by the Soseda_NET Client) - we use what they give. But the ESSID and network protection can be changed. Add
thisthe network follows the LAN zone.
And do not forget about the channels (see the question above), otherwise you can get a chip lock and nothing will work!
How to install packages with kernel modules (kmod- *)?
You need to add to the /etc/opkg.conf file (in the web interface, this is System->Software->Configuration) line:
src / gz kmod http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/100376233/zyxel/openwrt/test/44/packages
Where 44 is the firmware build number (modules from one assembly will not fit the other - do not forget to update this line when updating the firmware!).- since build 47 is not relevant
Packages with kernel modules (kmod- *) were installed, but then stopped (Multiple packages (kmod-figovina and kmod-figovina) providing the same name marked HOLD or PREFER. Using latest.). The kmod repository has been added. What to do? The problem is that the trunk is updated, and accordingly the kmod packages in it become newer than those in the repository for firmware, and OPKG tries to install newer versions of these kmod packages from the general repository (and breaks off).
After opkg update, do the followingee:
zcat / tmp / opkg-lists / barrier_breaker | awk 'BEGIN {RS = "\ n \ n"}! / ^ Package: kmod -. * / {print; print ""}' | gzip>/ tmp / opkg-lists / barrier_breaker_new; mv / tmp / opkg-lists / barrier_breaker_new / tmp / opkg-lists / barrier_breaker
Or just upgrade the firmware (but it will break again after a while, sooner or later).
Packages are not delivered with the Unknown package 'package_name' error. How to fix? Update the package lists with the command:
Warning: this must be done after each reboot of the device!
When updating the package list, I get the error: wget: not an http or ftp url:https: //dl.dropboxuser...nt.com/.../Packages.gz
Recently (discovered July 9, 2014) Dropbox (on which kmod repositories are located) has broken access via http. To make opkg work, do the following:
opkg update
opkg install wget
mv / usr / bin / wget / usr / bin / wget-real
echo '#! / bin / sh'>/ usr / bin / wget
echo 'wget-real --no-check-certificate $ @'>>/ usr / bin / wget
chmod 755 / usr / bin / wget
opkg update
More details:OpenWRT on ZyXEL Keenetic Series Routers (Post # 32741844)- since build 47 is not relevant
What changes have been made to the OpenWRT code to build these images? Patch can be found at
svn_44.diff(where 44 is the firmware assembly number).
Starting from build 47, patches can be found at
svn_47.diff(where 47 is the firmware assembly number).
The OpenWRT router worked, but then stopped. It responds, but neither Telnet, nor SSH, nor the WEB interface opens. After flashing through TFTP to the official firmware, the router works, when I try to flash OpenWRT, everything returns to what it was, nothing works. What to do? The JFFS2 area in the router memory was destroyed. This happens, the reason is not clear.
To restore OpenWRT, follow the instructions in the message.
