U-Boot web recovery for WL-WNT100X3

I'm trying to put my WNT100X3 into recovery mode with the following steps: 

  • Disconnect PC from Wi-Fi

  • Connect an Ethernet cable from your PC to the LAN port of the router.

  • Set a Static IP on your computer   (test separately with 192.168.1.1  and 192.168.20.1)

    • IP Address: 192.168.1.2

    • Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

    • Gateway: 192.168.1.1

  • Power OFF the router 

  • Use a paperclip to press and hold the Reset button through the pinhole.

  • While holding Reset, plug the power back in.

  • Keep holding the button for about 10–15 seconds

 

No luck with 192.168.1.1, 192.168.20.1, 192.168.2.1.  Any other suggestions?

Corrections. I found some documentation: https://docs.wavlink.xyz/feature_guide/travel_router/uboot/ Connect an Ethernet cable from your PC to the WAN port of the router. Set a Static IP on your computer : IP Address: 192.168.10.100 Keep holding the button for 6 seconds.

I noticed on the web site there is a "sysupgrade image" : https://docs.wavlink.xyz/Firmware/?category=all&model=WL-WNT100X3-A , but there is no "Factory Image" that contains the BL2 and FIP sections. I wasn't smart enough to dump mtd0 and mtd1 before my testing, so still need those if they are available, so I can re-flash the FIP.
thats right.

I backed up BL2, FIP, and DTB through SSH and uploaded them to GitHub. I hope this can help you. https://github.com/LeiYuJ/backup-file/tree/main/T100X3
