RAISECOM MSG1500 X.00 is a 2.4/5 GHz band 11ac (Wi-Fi 5) router. Apart from the general model, there are two ISP customized models: China Mobile and China Telecom. Specifications: - SoC: Mediatek MT7621AT - RAM: 256MiB DDR3 - Flash: 128MiB NAND - Ethernet: 5 * 10/100/1000Mbps: 4 * LAN + 1 * WAN - Switch: MediaTek MT7530 (SoC) - WLAN: 1 * MT7615DN Dual-Band 2.4GHz 2T2R (400Mbps) 5GHz 2T2R (867Mbps) - USB: 1 * USB 2.0 port - Button: 1 * RESET button, 1 * WPS button, 1 * WIFI button - LED: blue color: POWER, WAN, WPS, 2.4G, 5G, LAN1, LAN2, LAN3, LAN4, USB - UART: 1 * serial port header (4-pin) - Power: DC 12V, 1A - Switch: 1 * POWER switch MAC addresses as verified by vendor firmware: use address source LAN C8:XX:XX:3A:XX:E7 Config "protest_lan_mac" ascii (label) WAN C8:XX:XX:3A:XX:EA Config "protest_wan_mac" ascii 5G C8:XX:XX:3A:XX:E8 Factory "0x4" hex 2.4G CA:XX:XX:4A:XX:E8 [not on flash] The increment of the 4th byte for the 2.4g address appears to vary. Reported cases: 5g 2.4g increment C8:XX:XX:90:XX:C3 CA:XX:XX:C0:XX:C3 0x30 C8:XX:XX:3A:XX:08 CA:XX:XX:4A:XX:08 0x10 C8:XX:XX:3A:XX:E8 CA:XX:XX:4A:XX:E8 0x10 Since increment is inconsistent and there is no obvious pattern in swapping bytes, and the 2.4g address has local bit set anyway, it seems safer to use the LAN address with flipped byte here in order to prevent collisions between OpenWrt devices and OEM devices for this interface. This way we at least use an address as base that is definitely owned by the device at hand. Notes: 1. The vendor firmware allows you to connect to the router by telnet. (known version 1.0.0 can open telnet.) There is no official binary firmware available. Backup the important partitions data: "Bootloader", "Config", "Factory", and "firmware". Note that with the vendor firmware the memory is detected only 128MiB and the last 512KiB in NAND flash is not used. 2. The POWER LED is default on after press POWER switch. The WAN and LAN1 - 4 LEDs are wired to ethernet switch. The WPS LED is controlled by MT7615DN's GPIO. Currently there is no proper way to configure it. 3. At the time of adding support the wireless config needs to be set up by editing the wireless config file: * Setting the country code is mandatory, otherwise the router loses connectivity at the next reboot. This is mandatory and can be done from luci. After setting the country code the router boots correctly. A reset with the reset button will fix the issue and the user has to reconfigure. * This is minor since the 5g interface does not come up online although it is not set as disabled. 2 options here: 1- Either run the "wifi" command. Can be added from LuCI in system - startup - local startup and just add wifi above "exit 0". 2- Or add the serialize option in the wireless config file as shown below. This one would work and bring both interfaces automatically at every boot: config wifi-device 'radio0' option serialize '1' config wifi-device 'radio1' option serialize '1' Flash instructions using initramfs image: 1. Press POWER switch to power down if the router is running. 2. Connect PC to one of LAN ports, and set static IP address to "10.10.10.2", netmask to "255.255.255.0", and gateway to "10.10.10.1" manually on the PC. 3. Push and hold the WIFI button, and then power up the router. After about 10s (or you can call the recovery page, see "4" below) you can release the WIFI button. There is no clear indication when the router is entering or has entered into "RAISECOM Router Recovery Mode". 4. Call the recovery page for the router at "http://10.10.10.1". Keep an eye on the "WARNING!! tip" of the recovery page. Click "Choose File" to select initramfs image, then click "Upload". 5. If image is uploaded successfully, you will see the page display "Device is upgrading the firmware... %". Keep an eye on the "WARNING!! tip" of the recovery page. When the page display "Upgrade Successfully", you can set IP address as "automatically obtain". 6. After the rebooting (PC should automatically obtain an IP address), open the SSH connection, then download the sysupgrade image to the router and perform sysupgrade with it. Flash back to vendor firmware: See "Flash instructions 1 - 5" above. The only difference is that in step 4 you should select the vendor firmware which you backup.

Project ImmortalWrt
ImmortalWrt is a fork of OpenWrt, with more packages ported, more devices supported, better performance, and special optimizations for mainland China users.
Compared the official one, we allow to use hacks or non-upstreamable patches / modifications to achieve our purpose. Source from anywhere.
Default login address: http://192.168.1.1 or http://immortalwrt.lan, username: root, password: none.
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 ImmortalWrt, 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.
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
To build with this project, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS is preferred. And you need use the CPU based on AMD64 architecture, with at least 4GB RAM and 25 GB available disk space. Make sure the Internet is accessible.
The following tools are needed to compile ImmortalWrt, the package names vary between distributions.
- Here is an example for Ubuntu users:
-

-
Note:
- For the for love of god please do not use ROOT user to build your image.
- Using CPUs based on other architectures should be fine to compile ImmortalWrt, but more hacks are needed - No warranty at all.
- You must not have spaces in PATH or in the work folders on the drive.
- If you're using Windows Subsystem for Linux (or WSL), removing Windows folders from PATH is required, please see Build system setup WSL documentation.
- Using macOS as the host build OS is not recommended. No warranty at all. You can get tips from Build system setup macOS documentation.
- For more details, please see Build system setup documentation.
