hi guys! Good news for you! One good man from Russia adapt Padavan's firmware for Xiaomi Mi Mini Router.
Сatch the URL: https://gitlab.com/Track/xrmwrt
I just wanted to share my good experiences with this great value for money device.
I have this device running since DEC-2014 replacing one of my old APs. (not heavily stressed around 10 devices at a time)
I am only using it as an AP not as a router!
I wish we have DD-WRT for this.
I have physically dropped this router from 3.5 meters to concrete. while the antennas open. I have mo damage at all other then some scratches. the antenna popped out of its socket and i just pushed it in.
2.4GHz coverage is great, compared to many other devices I have tested in the same spot.
5.0Ghz coverage is not as good as my ASUS RT-AC68U but better than many others again.
I have no dropouts that i can recall or notice.
Sadly I use chrome translate to do any settings. there is an English companion app for the PC and i guess Android. (but why would you need a separate software when you can do it on the web interface DUH..) _________________ ~niPPit~
any news on this router getting dd-wrt? I've received it yesterday and had a chance to play with it. I have ssh access etc., planning on using it as a client repeater. DD-WRT would be perfect for this case, sadly it's not in the list of supported devices and there's no much hope it will be as I understand it's for China market only. Although it would be very good to see someone porting dd-wrt to this super cheap router!

I don't think they are working on it...
Oficial firmware has been updated and it's really good, much improved. Try the new version, 2.2.5.

Indeed, i can confirm with the latest firmware version you get Chinese 404 error page forwarded to their server.
I found this awesome post with A LOT of technical info about this, it seems they wanted to deliver ads, well at least that is what THEY CLAIM it is, but a more deep tech analysis reveled that they might be stealing our users/passwords.
On the MI forums one guy posted a question on HOW to disable this 404 redirects, one guy replied:

The only cause of 404 redirection is only when I activate the ad-blocker. We can see this feature on MiWifi official app.
So i tried to do it but when i try to ADD this green umbrella thing it gave me an error, couldn't install it.
So this is what i did:
1.- Install the developer firmware version
---> Dont know if its necessary or not, you can try the STABLE (normal) firmware
GUIDE: http://forum.miui.co.in/forum/mi-devices/mi-accessories-reviews-guides/2842-guide-how-to-flash-mi-wifi-router-mini-with-developer-or-stable-rom
2.- Install the Android APP to the phone
3.- Create MI ACCOUNT
4.- Pair mi Router with the APP
5.- Connected a FAT32 2GB USB Flash Drive to the USB Port in the back of the router
6.- in the android app, went to FILES SECTION and it took a while, it was scanning my USB DRIVE, i thought it couldn't read it or something but it turns out the Router INSTALLS a mini folder structure into the USB, so give this a couple of minutes.
--> Once the section FILES refreshes and you can see folders and files that MiWifi mini just created
7.- go to PLUGINS section and ADD the green umbrella thingy
8.- Once installed open it and turn it off by tapping the blue switch.!!
dd-wrt does support this chipset already. but we still have problems with the switch chip (wan port isnt working yet). we are working on this for other products as well

I wouldn't mind using this one for a travel router.
Does this mean DD-WRT still run fine on it except no cabled WAN port working? Or is WAN broken altogether? (to use for Wifi repeater mode) _________________ DD-WRT v3.0-r40270M kongac Netgear R7000
