PrivateRouter's OpenWRT Build for Linksys 7350

This repository provides a build script and accompanying files to facilitate the compilation and installation of OpenWRT for the Linksys Router Model E7350.

⚙️ Installation Instructions

The Linksys E7350 router is a dual-boot partition model, which means it retains the ability to boot from one of two partitions. This allows for safer firmware updates and system recovery.

  1. Factory Image:

    • Start with the factory image. You can obtain this from the release section or compile it using the provided build script.
    • Navigate to the Linksys Advanced Config menu in the router's original firmware.
    • Use the option to update or flash the firmware and select the factory image file you've obtained.
    • Once flashed, the router will reboot.
  2. OpenWRT Boot:

    • Upon rebooting, the router should now boot into OpenWRT.
    • Navigate to the OpenWRT interface. By default, this is often at http://192.168.1.1/.
  3. Sysupgrade Image:

    • In the OpenWRT interface, go to the System Upgrade section.
    • Upload the sysupgrade image and proceed with the upgrade.
    • The router will reboot once more after the upgrade.

🔔 Reminder: Always ensure you're using the correct image for your specific model and version of the router. Incorrectly flashing can lead to a bricked device.

📝 Notes

  • Ensure you backup any essential configuration before performing system upgrades.
  • While the dual-boot partition provides a safety net, always be cautious during firmware updates.
  • If you face any challenges, revert to the other partition or seek assistance from community forums.
