QUOTE(sHawTY @ Jul 14 2016, 03:29 PM) The easiest way to get into the emergency upgrade page is to set static IP in your computer before you connect the router to your computer IP Address: 192.168.1.4 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: 192.168.1.1 I've flashed 4 units of WS880 this way without a hickup After uploading the modified WS880_Trans.Bin file, let the router reboot itself, do not do anything until you see a different page displayed on your internet browser Once you are on the CFE miniWeb Server page, upload the firmware of your choice. In this instance, the first few uploads may fail. Just retry uploading using several browser until you a different page saying the upload succeeeded While doing all this, DO NOT turn off your router at all Thxs, will try this method out later tonight |

QUOTE(fruitie @ Jul 14 2016, 04:17 PM) First rule, just make sure it will not suddenly power off when you do it. I had flashed few times during TP Link days.  i see.. lets say if brick, then how? can re-do again? |

Currently there are no way to un-brick WS880 Just follow the guide carefully, and follow my guides too Also, when editing the CFE, make sure you type the correct MAC address & the WLAN key Double confirm you've typed the correct MAC Address & WLAN key before you save the modified CFE |

Is the stock good enough? Since there is no way to unbrick it, I'm not sure if I want to take the risk.  My friend is doing it for me though this time.  |

I straight away flash mine to AsusWRT I have been with AsusWRT for around 6 years now since the age of RT-N16 then upgrade to RT-AC68U Maybe the stock firmware is good enough but I still prefer AsusWRT over anything else. Just a personal preferences  |

Just a personal preferences same line of history, frm RTN12, multiple RTN16U with power capacitor failures (easily repaired and still rocking today), lots of RTN66U & AC66U for project sites with no complaints  |

My friend is doing it for me though this time. I think one of the reasons is because there are developers to release new updated 3rd party firmwares. I don't see any firmware for downloading at Huawei's website. |
