Netgear WAX214 is a 802.11 ax dual-band AP
    with PoE. (similar to Engenius EWS357APV3)

    Specifications:

        •     CPU: Qualcomm IPQ6010 Quad core Cortex-A53
        •     RAM: 512MB of DDR3
        •     Storage: 128MB NAND (Macronix MX30UF1G18AC)
        •     Ethernet: 1x 1G RJ45 port (QCA8072) PoE
        •     WIFI:
              2.4GHz: Qualcomm QCN5022 2x2 802.11b/g/n/ax 574 Mbps PHY rate
              5GHz: Qualcomm QCN5052 2x2 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax 1201 PHY rate

        •     LEDs:
              4 x GPIO-controlled LEDs
                - 1 Power LED (orange)
                - 1 LAN LED (blue)
                - 1 WIFI 5g LED (blue)
                - 1 WIFI 2g LED (blue)
                black_small_square  Buttons: 1x soft reset
                black_small_square  Power: 12V DC jack or PoE (802.3af )

            An populated serial header is onboard, format is
             1.25mm 4p (DF13A-4P-1.25H)
            RX/TX is working, bootwait is active, secure boot is not
            enabled.

            The root password of the stock firmware is unknown,
            but failsafe mode can be entered to reset the password.

            Installation Instructions:

                - obtain serial access
                - stop auto boot (press "4", Entr boot command line
		  interface)
                - setenv active_fw 0 (to boot from the primary rootfs,
                  or set to 1 to boot from the secondary rootfs
                  partition)
                - saveenv

                - tftpboot the initramfs image
                - bootm

                - copy
		  openwrt-qualcommax-ipq60xx-netgear_wax214-squashfs-factory.ubi
                  to the device
                - write the image to the NAND:
                   - cat /proc/mtd and look for rootfs partition (should
		     be mtd11,
                     or mtd12 if you choose active_fw 1)
                   - ubiformat /dev/mtd11 -f -y
		     openwrt-qualcommax-ipq60xx-netgear_wax214-squashfs-factory.ubi
                - reboot

            Note: the firmware is senao-based. But I was unable to build
                  a valid senao-header into the image.
                  Maybe they changed the header format and senaoFW isn't
                  working any more.

OpenWrt logo

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!

Download

Built firmware images are available for many architectures and come with a package selection to be used as WiFi home router. To quickly find a factory image usable to migrate from a vendor stock firmware to OpenWrt, try the Firmware Selector.

If your device is supported, please follow the Info link to see install instructions or consult the support resources listed below.

An advanced user may require additional or specific package. (Toolchain, SDK, ...) For everything else than simple firmware download, try the wiki download page:

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 python3.7+ rsync subversion unzip which

Quickstart

  1. Run ./scripts/feeds update -a to obtain all the latest package definitions defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default

  2. Run ./scripts/feeds install -a to install symlinks for all obtained packages into package/feeds/

  3. Run make menuconfig to select your preferred configuration for the toolchain, target system & firmware packages.

  4. 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.

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.

  • LuCI Web Interface: Modern and modular interface to control the device via a web browser.

  • OpenWrt Packages: Community repository of ported packages.

  • OpenWrt Routing: Packages specifically focused on (mesh) routing.

  • OpenWrt Video: Packages specifically focused on display servers and clients (Xorg and Wayland).
