The Wavlink WL-WN535K1 is a "mesh" router with 2 gigabit ethernet ports
and one fast ethernet port. Mine is branded as Talius TAL-WMESH1.
It can be found in kits of 2 or 3 (WL-WN535K2 or WL-WN535K3).
The motherboard is labelled as WS-WN535G3-B-V1.2 so this image could
potentially work for WL-WN535G3R and WS-WN535G3R with little to none
effort, but it's untested.

Everything works correctly.
Currently there is no firmware update available. Because of this, in
order to restore the OEM firmware, you must firstly dump the OEM
firmware from your router before you flash the OpenWrt image.
Backup the OEM Firmware
-----------------------
The following steps are to be intended for users having little to none
experience in linux. Obviously there are many ways to backup the OEM
firmware, but probably this is the easiest way for this router.
Procedure tested on WN535K1_V1510_200916 firmware version.
1) Go to http://192.168.10.1/webcmd.shtml
2) Type the following line in the "Command" input box and then press enter:
mkdir /etc_ro/lighttpd/www/dev; dd if=/dev/mtd0ro of=/etc_ro/lighttpd/www/dev/mtd0ro
3) After few seconds in the textarea should appear this output:
16384+0 records in
16384+0 records out
If your output doesn't match mine, stop reading and ask for
help in the forum.
4) Open in another tab http://192.168.10.1/dev/mtd0ro to download the
content of the whole NOR. If the file size is 0 byte, stop reading
and ask for help in the forum.
5) Come back to the http://192.168.10.1/webcmd.shtml webpage and type:
rm /etc_ro/lighttpd/www/dev/mtd0ro;for i in 1 2 3 4 5; do dd if=/dev/mtd${i}ro of=/etc_ro/lighttpd/www/dev/mtd${i}ro; done
6) After few seconds, in the textarea should appear this output:
384+0 records in
384+0 records out
128+0 records in
128+0 records out
128+0 records in
128+0 records out
14720+0 records in
14720+0 records out
1024+0 records in
1024+0 records out
If your output doesn't match mine, stop reading and ask for
help in the forum.
7) Open the following links to download the partitions of the OEM FW:
http://192.168.10.1/dev/mtd1ro
http://192.168.10.1/dev/mtd2ro
http://192.168.10.1/dev/mtd3ro
http://192.168.10.1/dev/mtd4ro
http://192.168.10.1/dev/mtd5ro
If one (or more) of these files are 0 byte, stop reading and ask
for help in the forum.
8) Store these downloaded files in a safe place.
9) Reboot your router to remove any temporary file in ram.
Installation
------------
Flash the initramfs image in the OEM firmware interface
(http://192.168.10.1/update_mesh.shtml).
When Openwrt boots, flash the sysupgrade image otherwise you won't be
able to keep configuration between reboots.
Restore OEM Firmware
--------------------
Flash the "mtd4ro" file you previously backed-up directly from LUCI.
Warning: Remember to not keep settings!
Warning2: Remember to force the flash.
Notes
-----
1) Router mac addresses:
LAN XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:E2 (factory @ 0x28)
WAN XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:E3 (factory @ 0x2e)
WIFI 2G XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:E4 (factory @ 0x04)
WIFI 5G XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:E5 (factory @ 0x8004)
LABEL XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:E5
2) The OEM firmware upgrade page accepts only files containing the
string "WN535K1" in the filename.
3) Additional notes 1,2,3 in the WS-WN583A6 commit are still valid

OpenWrt Project is a Linux operating system targeting embedded devices. Instead of trying to create a single, static firmware, OpenWrt provides a fully writable filesystem with package management. This frees you from the application selection and configuration provided by the vendor and allows you to customize the device through the use of packages to suit any application. For developers, OpenWrt is the framework to build an application without having to build a complete firmware around it; for users this means the ability for full customization, to use the device in ways never envisioned.
Sunshine!
Development
To build your own firmware you need a GNU/Linux, BSD or MacOSX system (case sensitive filesystem required). Cygwin is unsupported because of the lack of a case sensitive file system.
Requirements
You need the following tools to compile OpenWrt, the package names vary between distributions. A complete list with distribution specific packages is found in the Build System Setup documentation.
binutils bzip2 diff find flex gawk gcc-6+ getopt grep install libc-dev libz-dev
make4.1+ perl python3.6+ rsync subversion unzip which
Quickstart
-
Run
./scripts/feeds update -a
to obtain all the latest package definitions defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default -
Run
./scripts/feeds install -a
to install symlinks for all obtained packages into package/feeds/ -
Run
make menuconfig
to select your preferred configuration for the toolchain, target system & firmware packages. -
Run
make
to build your firmware. This will download all sources, build the cross-compile toolchain and then cross-compile the GNU/Linux kernel & all chosen applications for your target system.
Related Repositories
The main repository uses multiple sub-repositories to manage packages of
different categories. All packages are installed via the OpenWrt package
manager called opkg
. If you're looking to develop the web interface or port
packages to OpenWrt, please find the fitting repository below.
