Preparing for flashing§

  1. Download and unpack the firmware archive The “Download” button is in the panel under the device name.
  2. Connect the router to the computer with a cable (Ethernet) Flashing over Wi-Fi is not possible.

Installing from stock firmware§

First install the Breed bootloader (steps below), then choose one of the two flashing methods — Method #1 (via KeenBOOT, recommended) or Method #2 (via Breed and Telnet).

Installing the Breed bootloader§

  1. Running the script In the Установка Breed (Breed installation) folder, run Start_MTC.bat.
  2. Downgrading the firmware (if needed) If the current firmware is newer than 2.00.18, the script tells you so. The data folder contains MTC_2.00.18.bin for a downgrade with a regular update through the web interface.
  3. Backup After the script finishes, open Breed at 192.168.1.1 and save the Full backup from the second section in case you want to return to the factory firmware.
  4. Preparing the EEPROM The data folder will contain the original EEPROM. Open the “Set MAC” tool, load the file, enter the MAC address from the sticker and download the generated eeprom.bin.

MethodINew, recommended§

  1. Replace the bootloader with KeenBOOT.
  2. Upload Firmware, EEPROM and U-Config from the archive one by one through the web interface, following the instructions.
  3. Reboot the device.

Done!

    Tip

    To minimize installation problems, it is recommended to set the IP address 192.168.1.2 on the network card.

    Static IP on the network card

  2. Flashing over Telnet Start PuTTY, connect over Telnet to 192.168.1.1 on port 23 and paste the commands with the right mouse button, waiting for the previous one to finish.

    Warning

    • Turn off your OS firewall and antivirus beforehand.
    • The messages skipped bad blocks and Flash erasure failed with -5 after entering the commands are normal.

    Caution

    • Each line is a separate command. If it fails, run it again.
    • Compare the IP in the wget commands below with the IP shown in HFS. In the Breed bootloader it always starts with 192.168.1.xxx.
