Hello bro, how are you doing?

Taobao a lot of fakes... are you getting the original?
Today finally have some time to setup my WS880. It has been sitting in the drawer for 3 months.

For router stuff, hardly got fake stuff. Bought few routers and many USB modem before.

Do you need to disable the built-in wifi adapter that came with your laptop?

How do you do that?

Yes, I disabled the built-in WiFi adapter.
Just disabled it in Device Manager?

XWRT-VORTEX has just released firmware version 380.63 Stable for WS880

Download: http://xvtx.ru/xwrt/download.htm

Changelog: [Mark changes from 380.62_1]
CODE
380.63 (6-Nov-2016)
  - NEW: QoS Statistics page, showing the amount of traffic assigned to
         each available classes, as well as the current throughput.
  - NEW: Charts added to various Traffic Monitor pages.
         Note that you can click on legend items to reveal/hide the
         DL/UL data.  Hovering over a bar or a pie slice will
         display the exact value for that item.
  - NEW: Added pc_delete() to the helper script (patch by john95287)
  - NEW: IPv6 firewall now supports fixed interface ID (EUI64) ipv6
         destination addresses (Patch by john9527)
  - CHANGED: Updated Tor to 0.2.8.9
  - CHANGED: Updated OUI database.
  - CHANGED: ipset was updated to version 6.29 on ARM models.
             IMPORTANT: this means you will probably need to
             update your script to the new syntax.  You need to
             load the xt_set.ko module at the start of your script.
             There has been no change to MIPS models, due to their
             older kernel.  (original code by Shibby and Victek,
             Asuswrt port by john9527) (ARM only)
 - CHANGED: OpenVPN policy rules now start at prio 10000 instead of 1000
 - CHANGED: Added help popups to various settings that are unique to
            Asuswrt-Merlin.
 - FIXED: Custom group/shadow/passwd weren't applied at boot time.
 - FIXED: CVE-2016-5195 (Dirty COW) vulnerability in kernel
          (patches by blackfuel and Joseph A. Yasi)
 - FIXED: Network Service Filter rules would only apply to clients
          under Parental Control if that was enabled (original
          debugging by john9527) (Asus bug)
 - FIXED: A few memory leaks in httpd and rc services.

Busy for the past one week plus. Finally I have some time now. Time to update my firmware. biggrin.gif

QUOTE(muncheno @ Nov 9 2016, 09:53 PM)
Xiaomi routers (mi-mini, mi-3, mi-nano) can flash padavan.
Padavan is also customs  firmware for Asus routers.
Google about Prometheus scripts.

Using it for my mi-mini and mi-3, super stable like WRT.

My only complaint here is without gigabyte lan, thus my NAS storage limited at 12MB/s.
*
I have the Xiaomi Nano and it is very stable, I find it more stable than this router - Huawei WS880. tongue.gif

380.63_2 (12-Nov-2016)
  - CHANGED: Added detection for iPhone 7 models in networkmap
             (patch by Andrei Coman).
  - CHANGED: Enabled --dns-loop-detect support in dnsmasq
  - CHANGED: Move Dual WAN static routes to a lower priority, so VPN
             policy rules will have priority over them
  - FIXED: Traditional QoS labels were off by one on the Stats page.
  - FIXED: Adaptive QoS upload stats couldn't be retrieved because
           qosd seems to be hardcoded to always set up classes on eth0
           rather than on the real WAN interface.
  - FIXED: USB driver was removed too early at shutdown time on the
           RT-AC56U and RT-AC87U (fix by john9527)

  - CHANGED: QoS Stats info will automatically refresh every
             3 seconds (user-configurable)

             under "Others" if truncating the list of shown
             clients.
  - CHANGED: Enabled IPv6 support in curl.
  - CHANGED: Improved webui performance, by caching large static

             life from 5 mins to 1 hour.
  - CHANGED: No longer include Download Master packages in the
             firmware for those models that still included them,
             reducing firmware size by a few megabytes.
             Those were always outdated, the router will download
             the latest versions from Asus's servers at install
             time.
  - CHANGED: Improved webui protection against CSS/XSS attacks
             (backport from GPL 4164)

           (backport from GPL 4164)

Bidding goodbye to this awesome router. Just upgraded to the latest firmware of 380.66_2. On Saturday, I will pack up everything and pass to my sister to use for her UniFi connection back in Seremban. Also bidding farewell to my UniFi because I will be relocating my UniFi to her house. cry.gif

Make sure your computer IP address is set to 192.168.1.x (where x = 2 to 254)

Change browser if the CFE Miniweb Server page is not seen after entering http://192.168.1.1

Previously Google Chromw doesn't work for me, but Microsoft Edge works. smile.gif

I tried still not working... My Ethernet has no connection, hence I can't reach the page. sad.gif
I changed the fixed IP address in Ethernet adapter option right?

Did you change your router ip to a different one? I'm not sure but you can try ping that ip as well.

1. Remember to set your ip to 192.168.1.x range. Add an ip of the same range as your router ip if you changed that before.
2. in command prompt ping -t 192.168.1.1 & in another command ping -t <router ip>
3. press & hold the reset button while plugging in the power (the button should be in power on state as well).
4. wait for 5 or more ping replies before releasing the reset button or else it won't work & just perform the reset. the ping replies should have ttl 100.

I will try again tonight. notworthy.gif

Anyway, I think mine is dead. Here are what happened:
1) Once I reset the router, "INTERNET" LED wording on router keeps blinking non stop.
2) After a few minutes, it is still the same. I had no choice but to unplug power cord.
3) After plugging in, LAN, WLAN and WPS appeared. INTERNET wording disappeared now.
4) I quickly browsed to 192.168.1.1, if "LAN" is still shown on my router, then I can login.
5) Quickly flashed my firmware but... while flashing firmware, LAN, WLAN and WPS disappeared while firmware flashing is still running in background. Then, LAN, WLAN and WPS will come back again.
6) My router shows the new upgraded firmware.
7) After some time all LAN, INTERNET, WLAN and WPS appeared. Can connect to Internet. Yeah!
8) Nah, either they will disappear after some time or after I reboot the router, everything is dead again.

cry.gif I really regretted to upgrade the firmware, I thought _2 is OK, that's why I did that. doh.gif doh.gif doh.gif

Guys, thanks for the advice. I shall give it another shot tonight.

OK, so the blinking is normal... But no connection how to connect to 192.168.1.1? hmm.gif

My Ethernet is showing yellow exclamation mark.
I cannot flash anything at CFE, so far it's only showing once. The rest in Asuswrt page.

I will try different adapter as well. Appreciate a lot. notworthy.gif

Try with a different Ethernet cable (preferably new) too.

Like Shawty said, just plug in the Ethernet cable and the power cable only. No other cables cables should be attached to the router when flashing.

I did but I will try again. biggrin.gif

QUOTE(muncheno @ May 19 2017, 01:50 PM)
The windows for connecting, from my imagination it is like only 30sec from the moment you see `Internet` light up.

So if you can't get  into CFE after few trials, you have to repeat reset by plus power up.

OK, I waited for so long. laugh.gif
I will keep trying then. sweat.gif
The thing is I only have tonight to try, I will give up on my UniFi from tomorrow onward...

I have this experience with the 2nd unit of ws880 for my parents.
Sometime on trying to get into CFE the unit went like bricked, cannot power on.

So what I did was using my adc adapter from xiaomi router to connect to ws880 and it will power  on the ws880. Then I use back huawei adc adapter, it run without problem.

Not sure it is similar situation.

I don't think your router is fully brick, it is likely soft brick only.
The CFE mode is quite robust.

Try set to different IP, because unifi setting nvram, the router may not running at 192.168.1.1.

Last time I set my PC to run 192.168.0.X and also 192.168.1.x
to see if the router is in 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1

Guess what? My friend came to my house to help me fixing it, after trying few options and lastly we changed the adapter... It works! Reboot few times and flashed few times to stress it, it's still running. Once we changed back to old adapter, it stopped working. doh.gif
