QUOTE(Wan @ Apr 14 2019, 02:32 PM) What's the fastest speed you can get on WiFi on this Ws880 router? My UNIFI is 800Mbps. But with my phone(Poco F1) only can get around 300Mbps. I've been changing routers for Unifi users, and I swear on some house I can reach about 500Mbps, same with the customers on their Iphones using the Dlink Ac1200 Unifi provided. But really hard to get that speed since everything is set to auto on the routers. Anyone got any ideas? For me, around 3X0 mbps after reboot, thrn later drop to around 280-300mbps download, upload can go around 380mbps. But for sure wont reach 500mbps on wifi. For Lan no problem. |

For those who is running XWRT-VORTEX 380.70 Here is another alternative from Koolshare_Merlin https://firmware.koolshare.cn/Koolshare_Mer...0/Huawei/WS880/I didn't try it yet, as my 2 WS880 routers are now in my parents house, away from me. More or less they are the same 380.70, however Koolshare has more tweak to the features and much more easier to manage entware. |

QUOTE(alucard89 @ Nov 16 2020, 06:50 PM) Hi, how's the method for upgrading? Is it just simply uploading the firmware? You are using which firmware now? If running merlin/vortex then it is straight update. If still running Huawei firmware pls go back to page 1 to start reading. Anyhow, I didn't have chance to test those firmware, since router at parent home. Try at your own risk. |

QUOTE(alucard89 @ Nov 29 2020, 10:39 PM) Thanks, need some help after reaching CFE page, after I upload the xrt firmware, it was sending request then i got connection time out after a few minutes (not 24mb uploaded). After I restart normally, i see internet led blinking only (no wifi name or anything). Doesn't seem like it completed the firmware upgrade or did I just bricked mine? Did you using CFE editor to edit your bin file correctly and flash the router with the edited bin file before upload to merlin firmware? If you have fail to upload, did you try or manage to access the CFE mode with the IP you set in the bin file? This post has been edited by muncheno: Nov 29 2020, 11:18 PM |

QUOTE(alucard89 @ Nov 30 2020, 12:10 AM) Yeah, already done that for the bin file correctly and flashed it Seems like I keep getting timeout when accessing CFE web page Btw, I set my ip to static (192.168.1.2) to access it Have tried other internet browser? if i recall correctly Chrome is not very good with CFE. If still can try flash older merlin version before goto latest. |

QUOTE(alucard89 @ Nov 30 2020, 01:12 AM) After a few tries, finally succesfully uploaded firmware on chrome browser. Definitely got me worried there  Btw, how's Koolshare_Merlin working out for you so far? What are some extra features does it bring actually? I had the 2x WS880 Router installed at my parents running XRT-WRT and have been running years without problem except for problem from unifi fibre optic cables. Don't feel like testing or updating to Koolshare as I don't see the benefit since both are running same version - 380.70. Although benefit from Koolshare, it is more customization for the Entware/Optware apps. This post has been edited by muncheno: Nov 30 2020, 03:57 PM |

QUOTE(alucard89 @ Mar 19 2021, 12:08 AM) I flashed mine with xwrt Merlin 380.70 Is unifi home profile still there in the settings?  You need set vlan tagging settings for unifi also. This is located in LAN - > IPTV. Choose Unifi profile or manually set it. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « |

QUOTE(colmi @ Jun 10 2022, 06:11 AM) I have not encountered any security issues with it so far.  Try Google for Asus cyclops blink. Recently I also changed 2 unit of WS880 to Tenda Ac18 at my parent house due to concern with security and also wanted to move to Aimesh setup for easier configuration. Otherwise WS880 is a solid and beautiful router. If anyone interested, it is for sale else this keep as spare at the moment. |

QUOTE(sHawTY @ Jun 10 2022, 10:37 PM) Belum kena. Dah kena, padan muka My opinion is still pretty safe using WS880 as long as remote administrator access and ssh./telnet login has been disabled from external access and more importantly changed username and password. Default username and password is the easier to hack. |
