Custom Build for ZBT WE1626

Post by Gbee »

Hi all,
I have a router that came with OpenWRT 12.09 already installed but really need Gargoyle as I face the usage scenario described in the Wiki of capped monthly imternet and teenagers that can't control their consumption of data.

The router specs look like they should be up to it:
www.zbtlink.com/products/router/ZBT-WE1626.html

I can't find any reference to this router searching the site so figure I will have to do a custom build.
This is very new territory for me so any advice will be gratefully received.

Am I right in thinking that I can essentially build the full set of packages for the mt7620n architecture?

yes it is supported
enter uboot web interface by keeping your hand on the reset button and power it on and then release your hand until it start blinking fast.
set static ip 192.168.1.24
set gateway 192.168.1.1
set dns 192.168.1.1
and finally set the netmask to 255.255.255.0

go to web browser enter 192.168.1.1 and upload firmware

On my WE1626 the two alternatives suggested by dragonmax work just fine for v1.10.0. I have had the router running as an access point for a month using the second of the two firmware files listed below.

gargoyle_1.10.0-ramips-mt7620-xiaomi-miwifi-mini-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin

gargoyle_1.10.0-ramips-mt7620-wt3020-8M-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin

As always Gargoyle just works :D
