Supported Versions

TP-Link Archer C20 V4 TP-Link Archer C20 v4 is a router with a 5-port FE switch and non-detachable antennas, based on MediaTek MT7628AN + MT7610EN. As compared with the older v1 version, v4 is without any USB ports but has a third central antenna for 5GHz. It also appears to have reduced power consumption. Driver Model in U-Boot Design goals, architecture, benefits, test methodology, limitations, future U-Boot Mini-Summit 13-Oct-14 Simon Glass sjg@chromium.org. Platform is Windows. U-Boot 1.2.0 (May 20 2009 - 01:04:07) I2C: ready. Was trying to download the U-boot binary from the NAND device and instead finding a copy.

Installation

→ Install OpenWrt (generic explanation)

Please add the installation procedure here.

Flash Layout

Raw information

OEM easy installation

The instructions below are for Broadcom devices and only serve as an example.
Remove / modify them if they do not apply to this particular device!

This section deals with

• How you install OpenWrt from a device freshly opened
• The steps required such as reset to factory defaults if the device has already been configured

Note: Reset router to factory defaults if it has been previously configured.

• Upload .bin file to router
• Telnet to 192.168.1.1 and set a root password, or browse to http://192.168.1.1 if LuCI is installed.

OEM installation using the TFTP method

Specific values needed for tftp

Enter values for “FILL-IN” below

Raw default values:

Upgrading OpenWrt

→ generic.sysupgrade

These are generic instructions. Update with your router's specifics.

LuCI Web Upgrade Process

• Browse to http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/luci/mini/system/upgrade/ LuCI Upgrade URL
• Wait for reboot

Terminal Upgrade Process

If you don't have a GUI (LuCI) available, you can alternatively upgrade via the command line.There are two command line methods for upgrading:

• mtd

Note: It is important that you put the firmware image into the ramdisk (/tmp) before you start flashing.

sysupgrade

• Login as root via SSH on 192.168.1.1, then enter the following commands:

mtd

If sysupgrade does not support this router, use mtd.

• Login as root via SSH on 192.168.1.1, then enter the following commands:

Debricking

Failsafe mode

→ failsafe_and_factory_reset

Press the reset button for 10 seconds using a paperclip or pin (it is underneath the hole on the seam between the two halves of the case).

Basic configuration

→ Basic configuration After flashing, proceed with this.
Set up your Internet connection, configure wireless, configure USB port, etc.

Specific Configuration

Network interfaces

The default network configuration is:

Switch Ports (for VLANs)

Please fill in real values for this device, then remove the EXAMPLEs

Numbers 0-3 are Ports 1-4 as labeled on the unit, number 4 is the Internet (WAN) on the unit, 5 is the internal connection to the router itself. Don't be fooled: Port 1 on the unit is number 3 when configuring VLANs. vlan0 = eth0.0, vlan1 = eth0.1 and so on.

Buttons

→ hardware.button on howto use and configure the hardware button(s).Here, we merely name the buttons, so we can use them in the above Howto.

The GL.iNet GL-USB150 has the following buttons:

The white (pixelized) sticker contains the MAC address (AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF) in plain text form and as a bar code.

Opening the case

Note: This will void your warranty!

There's a small hole which allows to press the reset button. It can be reached with a paperclip or similar. Use that hole and wedge open the case. Be aware, though that it appears to be impossible to open the case without breaking a sort of (plastic) pin that seems to hold the two halves of the case together and at the same time hold the PCB in place.

Main PCB:

Serial

→ port.serial general information about the serial port, serial port cable, etc.

How to connect to the Serial Port of this specific device:

Three soldering pads/holes can be seen inside the red rectangle, marked TX, RX and GND.

Also:

• green: the two LEDs (LED2 and LED1, left to right)
  • LED1 shows for active hotspot (in the OEM variant of OpenWrt)

I tried connecting using a DSD TECH SH-U09C configured at 3,3 V and it worked like a charm. I did this after soldering three pins of a PCB pin strip (pin header) onto the PCB. It looks like this:
