In this video, we will install X-WRT on the Xiaomi Mi Router 3 with Serial console (via the USB TTL adapter). X-WRT is a fork of OpenWRT snapshot tree with LuCI pre-installed and supports of Chinese routers, such as the Xiaomi Router 3. This device has been around for 3 years but we have no official support from openwrt.org, that why I will give a try with X-WRT. • The router come with Padavan room installed and the previous owner has no idea how to access the router management IP, therefore I established a USB serial connection to communicate with router serial port to identify it. • After that, I used the router's Ralink Uboot to boot the OpenWRT initramfs image (Initial Ram Disk) with TFTP. Once get inside LuCI, I performed the permanent flash to the NAND with the sysuprade image. • The same method can be use for devices which has Uboot and Serial port (4 TTL pins). It be used to recovery your bricked router, too! • Video timeframe: • 00:00 - Xiaomi Mi Router 3 disassembly • 00:56 - Solder TTL pins (for Serial connection) • 01:53 - Boot up the Mi R3 with Padavan - Console output • 03:32 - Download X-WRT firmware for Xiaomi Mi Router 3 • 04:46 - Set static IP for network adapter of the PC • 05:01 - Start tftpd64 (TFTP server) • 05:14 - Open Serial Port with Putty • 05:28 - TFTP boot the Mi R3 with OpenWRT initramfs • 07:11 - Access LuCI on X-WRT (192.168.15.1) • 08:10 - Permanently flash OpenWRT image into router NAND with sysupgrade image • 10:17 - NAT throughput and WiFi speedtest • Resources: • X-WRT firmware for Xiaomi Router 3 - https://github.com/astolfogit/miwifi-... • Xiaomi Mi WiFi R3 (Mi Wifi Router 3 / MIR3 / MI3) • OpenWRT document - https://openwrt.org/toh/xiaomi/mir3 • OpenWrt Forum - Xiaomi Mi WiFi 3 support - https://forum.openwrt.org/t/xiaomi-mi... • Thanks for watching and I will see you in the next video!
