High brick risk. A bad flash, unlock, or downgrade can permanently disable the device. Read the specialist guide for this exact model and firmware before you touch it.

How-to

How to

Flash OpenWrt/custom firmware via vendor web UI, TFTP or serial per the OpenWrt Table of Hardware page

Follow the specialist sources linked on this page. If this path is a jailbreak, unlock, or flash, the specialist wiki is the how-to — we do not copy those steps here.

Notes

It replaces the stock OS (custom U-Boot + Debian), which is full root.

Not the NSA310S (separate bodhi entry, no OpenWrt device page).
