OpenWrt Software Download

Update: December 24,2025 Good news!

The OpenWrt forum has merged the pacth which supports the new Flash F50L1G41LC and update the OpenWrt firmware to the version 24.10.5. So if you download the OpenWrt firmware version 24.10.5 or newer version in the future to update the Cudy related models. There will be no problem.

Important Notice:  November 24, 2025

Cudy AX3000 series routers manufactured starting in November 2025 (TR3000, SN code start with 2543 or later. 2543 in the SN means the 43th week in the year 2025 ) use the new Flash F50L1G41LC.  Upgrading to older versions of OpenWrt intermediate firmware or OpenWrt firmware will prevent the device from booting. Therefore, we will be releasing new firmware updates for these products to add restrictions. If the device is detected to be using the new Flash, it will not be able to upgrade to older firmware versions 2.3.X or earlier. Additionally, previously provided OpenWrt intermediate firmware for older Flash devices will not be compatible.

Affected models include: AP3000 Outdoor 1.0, AP3000 Wall 1.0, M3000 1.0/2.0, TR3000 1.0, WR3000E 1.0, WR3000H 1.0, WR3000S 1.0, and WR3000P 1.0.

Cudy has released the new OpenWrt intermediate firmwares, which have been updated to Google Drive. Please switch to the new intermediate firmware.

Regarding the OpenWrt firmware, we are still waiting for the official OpenWrt forum to release an OpenWrt firmware compatible with the new Flash. Once released, please use the new OpenWrt firmware.

If the SN code is less than 2543. It uses the old flash. There is no such problem.

Warnings

This webpage lists software of devices which support OpenWrt system, before download and install the software, please note that OpenWrt Project is a Linux operating system targeting embedded devices. Instead of trying to create a single, static firmware, OpenWrt provides a fully writable filesystem with package management. This frees you from the application selection and configuration provided by the vendor and allows you to customize the device through the use of packages to suit any application. For developers, OpenWrt is the framework to build an application without having to build a complete firmware around it; for users this means the ability for full customization, to use the device in ways never envisioned.

@Dear Dan,
Do you remember what is firmware version before update to the OpenWrt firmware? If it was 2.4.7, you can recover it via the TFTPD tool. Please refer to this article.
https://www.cudy.com/blogs/faq/how-to-recovery-the-cudy-router-from-openwrt-firmware-to-cudy-official-firmware?pos=1&_sid=b2bfff253&ss=r

If other firmware version, please keep using the OpenWrt firmware. Can not be recovered.

“Dear Cudy support team,
I am trying to restore the factory firmware after OpenWrt on AP3000 V1.0, but I am facing a problem.
Device information:
- Model: AP3000 V1.0
- Serial number: AP3000_P251600697 EU1.0
- Current firmware: OpenWrt 25.12.0
The problem is:
When trying to flash through the openwrt web interface (without saving the settings):
I downloaded the file “AP3000-R49-2.4.7-20260115-152710-sysupgrade.bin”, but the router rejects it with the error “Invalid file”.
According to the instructions for returning: Connected directly to a PC with IP:192.168.1.10, holding reset
Connected the power. But in this case, I can’t connect to the router. The special interface for specifying the firmware file doesn’t open at the address 192.168.1.1.
For the OpenWrt firmware, you provided a special firmware for the transition. I understand that you also need a special version to return to the factory firmware.
Please help me return to the factory firmware.

Thank you for your assistance. Best regards, Dan

@Dear Александр,
The OpenWrt firmware is not developed by Cudy but by the developers. We need the OpenWrt forum official support the router at first, then we can release a middle firmware for you, then you can use and upgrade to the OpenWrt firmware.
For WR3000 V2.0, it is impossible to develop the OpenWrt firmware currently.

“Please tell me when the OpenWRT firmware for WR3000 V2.0 will be available.”

@Dear Андрей,
I just uploaded the intermediate firmware for WR1300S V1.0 to the Google Drive. You can download it.

“When will there be an openwrt for WR1300S ? The kernel and sysupgrade were previously sent”
