 Posted: Sat May 05, 2018 7:50 Post subject: NEXX WT3020 DD-WRT TESTED AND WORKS |
 |
The WT3020F, WT3020H and WT3020AD have the same hardware. They run on MT7620N. It is supported by many (gargoyle, openwrt, rooter, etc.) but listed as "donated router needed" at DD-WRT.
For me, WT3020 works splendid with DD-WRT. DISCLAIMER:
I AM UNABLE TO PROVIDE ANY SUPPORT, USE BELOW INSTRUCTIONS AT YOUR OWN RISK. DO YOUR RESEARCH.
The Buffalo WHR-300HP2 runs on MT7620A. It has more ports. It's firmware is what I used, successfully.
Procedure:
Start with the stock firmware.
>> If you already flashed (openwrt, gargoyle, rooter, etc all have firmwares for this router), go back to stock. I did not need to try it, but found a stock here:
https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?pid=279257#p279257
direct link: https://app.box.com/s/5ksqqy14i8eb8vbcf9almn7h1it8hqi8
Proceed by upgrading u-boot with breed-mt7620-reset1.bin from hackpascal: https://breed.hackpascal.net/breed-mt7620-reset1.bin
>> It is chinese, use online translater services. A few English hacks of unknown source can be found online if you're adventurous.
Uboot upgrading instructions described at:

| Quote: | offer (the uboot bin) via http, so it can be downloaded from the router
$ python -m SimpleHTTPServer
directly connect the router via the lan port to your computer.
$ sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.8.5
$ telnet 192.168.8.1 (login: nexxadmin pass: y1n2inc.com0755 )
# cd /tmp/
# wget http://192.168.8.5:8000/u-boot-nexx-3020-7620.bin
// proceed only, if you successfully downloaded the new uboot file
# mtd_write unlock mtd0
GetFileSize: No such file or directory
Unlocking mtd0 ...
# mtd_write erase mtd0
GetFileSize: No such file or directory
Unlocking mtd0 ...
Erasing mtd0 ...
Erase char is 255
# mtd_write -r write u-boot-nexx-3020-7620.bin mtd0
Unlocking mtd0 ...
Writing from u-boot-nexx-3020-7620.bin to mtd0 ... [w]
it hangs now, just wait another minute and then power it down and start it up again
To check if the new uboot works, press and hold reset-button, then connect power.
Once the led flashes several times, you can release the reset button.

Download latest DD-WRT for Buffalo WHR-300HP2 here:
ftp://ftp.dd-wrt.com/betas/
I used a build early April and also the latest as of this writing:
ftp://ftp.dd-wrt.com/betas/2018/05-04-2018-r35874/buffalo_whr_300hp2/
I went the safe way:
first from uboot: firmware.uimage
then from DD-WRT: buffalo_whr_300hp2-webflash.bin
Configure at will.
Bugs / limitations:
1. LAN and WAN are inversed in DD-WR
2. reset button does not work in DD-WRT (which is why I recommend flashing uboot first in case you brick it, or simply forget the GUI password)
Works fantastic for the last month, and super stable for me.
