Flashing via the Linksys UI will only flash openwrt into one of the 2 partitions. 10 + 11 +If your router currently has stock Linksys firmware, flash the "squashfs-factory.img" via Linksys UI. After you flashed the factory img one time, you should set root password (do not configure/restart), log in via ssh and download the "squashfs-sysupgrade.bin" into /tmp and run sysupgrade to flash this .bin to both firmware partitions. 12 + 13 +If you are on my 18.x below, doing sysupgrade to 19.07.x will not work. You have to manually mtd write the "squashfs-sysupgrade.bin" into the firmware1 & firmware2 partitions. 14 + 15 +Subsequently sysupgrade from 19.07.x should work but it will **not **save config! Back up your config and other files in the router before you sysupgrade. 16 + 17 +Wifi seem to work at 30-40MB/s with a MacBook Pro. 18 + 19 + 20 += 18.x = 21 + 6 6 9bebafcb5dfe37f25285fa18fb8bfe7b68011267 (with wifi support) Download: 7 7 8 8 * [[initramfs-kernel.bin>>attach:openwrt-ramips-mt7621-linksys_ea8100-initramfs-kernel-9bebafcb5dfe37f25285fa18fb8bfe7b68011267.bin]]
