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.

Description

  1. This file can only be used when your router works under Cudy web UI.
  2. If the router already works under OpenWRT UI, user should restore it to Cudy official firmware first. And then upgrade the router with this firmware.
  3. How to restore the router to Cudy official firmware? Please read the readme in the file downloaded.

@Dear Bruno,
Our technical support has contacted you via email. Please check. The file is correct.

“Hi, I have a Cudy WR3000H V1.0 with:
Stock firmware: 2.4.5-20250515-105059 (it came pre-installed).
I need the correct intermediate firmware to install OpenWrt on my WR3000H v1.0 (SN: WR3000H25430***** – new flash chip).

I tried flashing:

cudy_wr3000h-v1-sysupgrade_20251119.bin

The file from your official Google Drive (WR3000H 1.0.zip)

Both attempts failed with the same error at ~75%: “File is invalid. Please retry.”

Since my SN starts with 2543, I believe I need the intermediate firmware specifically for the new flash chip. Could you please send me the correct file and any special instructions?

I already emailed support@cudy.com requesting the correct OpenWrt intermediate firmware for this exact hardware revision, but I have not received a reply yet.
Could your technical support please check my email and send me the correct intermediate firmware compatible with this unit?
Thank you."

I’m looking for the signed intermediate firmware download file openwrt-ramips-mt76x8-cudy_lt500-outdoor-v1-squashfs-flash.bin that was mentioned in the upstream openwrt commit at https://github.com/rodriguezst/openwrt/commit/b5ea3abd60238804303295862a5116c123c40651.
Is this available somewhere, or can it be provided here in the future?
