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.

- 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.

Hi, I bought some AP3000 WAPs specifically because I saw there was OpenWRT support. But now, in attempting to convert them over to vanilla OpenWRT, I see that there is no longer an intermediary firmware image, as the OpenWRT site describes (I see AP3000 Wall and AP3000 Outdoor, but neither work). This is unfortunate. Is there support for this or intent to support soon, or do I need to return this and go another route?
@Dear Alexander,
Yes. You can. We have updated the intermediate firmware in the Google Drive. OpenWrt forun also has updated the OpenWrt firmware to 24.10.5 which support the new FLASH. So. please do it.
“I have WR3000S with SN 2547. Could I flash Cudy’s intermediate OpenWRT firmware for the migration to clean OpenWRT?”
@Dear Andrey,
So far as I know, there is no OpenWrt firmware for WR1300 4.0 currently. Some developers are working on this. We will upload the intermediate firmware for WR1300 4.0 when they finish the development of this job.
“Hello. Just took WR1300 for use with openwrt, but version is 4.0. Can you send me instructions for install openwrt to this model, or I have to return it?
Also have WR3000 V2.0 with same problem. Thanks.”
