I stuck at the install the Breed step. I did do everything with this final instruction

"mtd -r write breed-mt7620-xiaomi-mini.bin Bootloader" and it show



Writing from breed-mt7620-xiaomi-mini.bin to Bootloader ...
Rebooting ...



and also downloaded the Padavan firmware but I'm not able to get

"power off your router, look for a pinhole on the back, power on your router while pressing and holding the button inside the pinhole;"

But I didn't see any orange/yellow light blinking, I just see the blue light blinking.

Even I try to restart the router without doing the pinhole, I still able to get into the XiaoMi router page which is 192.168.31.1

hmm i not sure about u
i do on xiao mi router 3
then i ignore the enable ssh stuff
then i use vmware install finish till step 3
tomorrow will continue cause too alte already

Run 2 separate command prompt cmd with these
Ping -t 192.168.1.1
Ping -t 192.168.31.1

Then off your router.
Press and hold on the reset button then power on your router.
Do not release the reset button until it start blinking, it take ATLEAST 15-20sec for it to start blinking.

Check from the ping see which address responsed.

If you r very sure that u already have the breed bootloader, now you only need to boot into Breed to flash padavan.
Keep trying.

Get response at 192.168.31.1 only and timeout 192.168.1.1

Also did the step you told me to turn off the router and hold the reset button then power on the router. But it show the blinking blue LED light.

If you are able to login into there router with 192.168.31.1 and it is still Xiaomi's firmware, then you did not flash the Breed bootloader correctly.

2 options, I would suggest.
Option 1 - repeat the steps.

or

Option 2 - since you can ssh into your router, you can use Prometheus scripts to build the firmware and flash your router without changing the Uboot to Breed bootloader.

Just my 2-cents, reminder here, do at your own-risk.

OMG I couldn't login via SSH it said I'm not enter correct password.

Permission denied (publickey,password).

What happen?

I suggest you to start the steps all over.

Secondly not sure I could understand your feedback here as I do not exactly which steps you are in.
Very confuses for someone who read your post with a short note not knowing which steps

First you inform that you already flashed the Breed bootloader.
Then you now you can't access SSH anymore.

If you can't get into Breed bootloader and you also can't access via SSH.
I could only advice you to start over or ask someone else to help.

I'm not an expect here, I 'm just help with my experience I did on my Mi routers and share here.

It like the WDS doesn't work for my RT-N66U. I follow the guide from here
https://bitbucket.org/padavan/rt-n56u/wiki/...e-area-of-wi-fi

yes
3 days at least i done finish flash to asus rom
but problem is on how to configure id and password for unifi ?
because i saw website all is easy configuration
but i login all is manual input

I'm Time user.

My guess is at below if you using hipptv, hopefully others help correct this.


Edited: correct image

why dont u use vmware do ?
i think that is more easier

There was a lot of bashing on xiaomi wifi router 3 on its 5G wifi signal. I wonder after flash with the Padavan custom firmware, will it improve the wifi signal stability?

To me, no regret on using Padavan firmware definite more stable here. Before that on mi firmware I have set schedule to reboot the routers on every week to avoid any stability issue.
Then again problem mostly due my Mi-mini router.

Maybe try set reboot schedule with ur miwifi app first and see if that improve.
I would recommend to u to flash Padavan, just that it is not ease. It take times and effort.

A nice writeup on installing padavan onto a mi-3: https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/comments/5d...om_firmware_on/

There are some people complain on 5G wifi signal suddenly will disappear even in a very close distance and the download speed measure on 2.4G or 5G is not quite fast compare with other different brand of router.

It was suspect due to the original firmware have flaw or not stable. I haven't got my self the device yet, still considering to get the mini version or the latest router 3 version, so does any of the above happen to you before Padavan was flash? While after Padavan flash any of those happened?

Not for me, I got no such issue even on default firmware.
I suggest you go read yourself rather u just listen me as others that tell u stuff which you can't judge.

Edited:
The sudden disappear situation, I could only image if user who choose the wrong region therefore router running at the channels does not support by old devices.
