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 conrad,
Our technical support has sent you the new intermediate firmware via email. Please check.
“Dear Support !
I have already connected the serial port and restored the functionality of the cudy AP3000_P v1.
But your transition firmware does not have a recovery mode and does not support the new Motorcomm YT8821 PHY LAN chip.
Could you provide an updated version of the transition firmware for openwrt so that I do not have to restore the access point using the serial port in the future?"
Hello support!
I was create prereleased OpenWRT binary for Cudy WR1300S.
This kernel https://github.com/5yoda5/openwrt/releases/download/first_release/openwrt-ramips-mt7621-cudy_wr1300s-initramfs-kernel.bin
and Sysupgrade https://github.com/5yoda5/openwrt/releases/download/first_release/openwrt-ramips-mt7621-cudy_wr1300s-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
Can you make intermediate transition firmware to switch from stock firmware to OpenWRT ?
Hello Cudy Support,
Could you please send me the intermediate firmware for the AP3000D?
I would like to test installing custom OpenWRT firmware.
Best regards

@Dear conrad,
The only way to restore it is to remove the AP’s cover, solder the serial port, and then connect the serial port to restore it. Is it possible for you? If yes, we can offer you the instruction to recover it via the serial port.
“Dear Support !
Purchased AP3000_P v1 access point.
Tried to flash according to the instructions from your website in openwrt through the transition firmware taken from you on google drive.
After flashing to the transition firmware, the access point lost access via lan cable ( wifi is not enabled ).
On the openwrt website found information:
As of jan. 2026, some devices are shipped with an alternate chip for single LAN port.
Now the access point is not available via lan or wi-fi.
I also can’t download the factory firmware via Recovery using the instructions on your website because the lan port is still not available.
What should I do to get the access point back online?"
