Is there any way to get Hilink 4G modems (4G modems configured as routers presenting a DHCP assigned IP to the router) working with dd-wrt? I'm trying to get an E3372-S working...
Where can I get the original CFE parameters for EA6300v1?
I mean devinfo part and how to write it back to the router. I have serial access.
Read this thread starting from the last page and going backwards. Most of the info is in here. _________________ I am far from a guru, I'm barely a novice.
CFE from a unit that does not have the exact same hw is not useful unless the firmware is modified in order to use the same radio params. Every model has specific radio params for the hw, since some have external antennae some internal, different power amps etc.
Also sometimes vendors adjust calibration params in the driver, e.g. for power amps, in order to fully support the hw.
Using wrong params can lead to:
-increased or lowered output
-quick aging of radios
-extra noise
-...
It is important to use either device embedded params, that exists in factory flash parts or params extracted from a running device with oem firmware.
If you use the CFE from another device, then most likely the device is recognized as a different unit and therefore different params are used.[/quote]
kong - thank you for clarifying the dangers.
what a number of us in this thread have been using is a cfe modified by LOM to contain the radio, gpio, switch, vlan info from the devinfo parameters for an ea6300v1/ea6400.
idividual users then must do further modification of the MAC addresses to make the cfe unique for their router.
i would be very interested to know what the limits of this approach are, since obviously the cfe has many hardcoded assumptions that are not modfiable just by changing the few variables in the nvram section.
thnak you kong, lom, bs, all devs and contributors...
This is my history:
- coming from 09-28-2015-r27858.
- Still some reports of nvram size problems so I followed some previous posts and Administration panel > Commands > copy the following line:
Then click on Save Startup
After that Save Shutdown
Run command
- scp r28112 or wget the image
- mtd write linksys-ea6400-webflash.bin linux2
- mtd write linksys-ea6400-webflash.bin linux
Note: the mtd seems to report some errors but it succeeds. go figure.
Everything seems to be running smoothly though there seems to be a small uptick in the temp by a degree or two.
Flashing r28112 (from r27805) via telnet/wget/mtd, the router hanged while flashing "linux" partition. Used Asus restoration tool and finished installation. It runs smooth now.
But repeater mode is still broken. At first, it was possible to connect to the VAP (virtual access point) with WPA2. Then, only with security disabled (on the VAP). And finally, the 5ghz radio stopped working. Not even clearing NVRAM restores the 5ghz radio in my router, although I made minimal testing. When I have more time, I'll try to do further testing. Or maybe I'll just skip to r28139.
Note: Just as long as the terminal isn't locked up you should be good as #4 and #5 can take a while; just be patient. You may also see a message about 'unlocking', etc. failing these seem to have no effect.

Good Luck!
Did the same yesterday. Works . Step 4 can be skipped because linux2 is not available.
