OpenWRT - Install OpenWRT on Ubiquiti UniFi UAP LR

[@grandros1]

Thank you very much!! Since UAP is EOL from Unify, this is a very useful guide now!!

[@VanTechCorner]

Glad that you liked the video. I also tried to install OpenWRT on the Aruba AP-105 and other devices, feel free to check out these videos on the channel home page.

[@antoni356g]

I was afraid to do the process but this video really helps to make it easier, with openwrt fast roaming is better and the signal is very stable

Hello sir after insert open wrt my unifi uap lr is reboot problem and no ping coming to default ip address

[@emmanuelstefani6564]

Tengo un UAP LR, el mismo que el del video, Pero el equipo no bootea, queda con la luz naranja titilando. como es el cable que tengo que usar? o de donde podria sacar el diagrama para armarlo

[@Dreez]

What a conincidence! Did the exaxt Thing two days ago :))

[@VanTechCorner]

LoL :D

[@cryptomadness7271]

I am looking to do this with a Ubiquiti U6 LR. Do you know if the process is similar? I prefer not to do a console install, by opening the device up.

[@andre32396]

Great video! A suggestion for the future, if you do a review and evaluate the speed of something, use iperf to evaluate the real network bandwidth and not be limited by your wan!

[@VanTechCorner]

Thanks for the comment. For other devices, I do run the test with iperf3/openspeedtest. The Unifi AP only has 100Mbps port where my internet plan is ~ 200 Mbps, that's why I don't give it a try with iperf.

[@therealdickieadams]

Thanks for the guide. What TTL cable are you using (or do you recommend)?

[@VanTechCorner]

Hi, sorry for the late response. In the video I used the USB to Serial (TTL) adapter using the CH340 chip. Here is the link to it www.cytron.io/p-ch340-usb-to-ttl-serial-cable.

Great video thank you so much for sharing all your knowledge. Would you consider making a video regarding a REVERSE WIREGUARD VPN setup?

[@agnescharissa9258]

Mikrotik Lhg-5nd please

[@arnolddevelops3486]

Great video! My UAP did not have pins so I had to solder them on but I got it connected. Tftpboot is timing out though. Server is up and running, firewall is off, testing with Filezilla works. Ping from UAP shows host is alive. I can see the UAP on my LAN. Filename checks out. Server log does not even register the attempt. I'm at a loss what the issue could be.

[@VanTechCorner]

Hi, may I know if the problem is only when you install OpenWrt or the AP is totally brick now?

[@alveox]

nice, ill try it to my unifi ap lr and ac lr.. using latest unifi firmware i got so many problem.. mainly dhcp offering failed and dns timeout..

[@VanTechCorner]

For UniFi AC series, you can see my recent tutorial.

[@alveox]

@@VanTechCorner Hi again, thanks for your tutorial i succesfully update my unifi ap LR. The only different is the hex i used for copying the system as i use latest openwrt firmware. next ill update my ac lr, finger crossed.

[@ReshnRush]

Can you install OpenWRT on the edgerouter X? I tried once and I failed and I have no idea what I did wrong. I would really appreciate a step by step guide from you. Ty in advance in case you're gonna do it :)

[@abouadam2140]

thanks for your good job pls I want you to tell if vodafone router avanzado vox 2.5 works with openwrt answer me very soon

[@mikeycrawford8476]

112500? Not 115200 baud?

[@y7mmaS]

Una IA me recomendó ver tu vídeo :clap:

[@Felix-ve9hs]

9:45 it looks like you only enabled 2.4 GHz (802.11n / WiFi 4) but not 5 GHz (802.11ac / WiFi 5).

[@VanTechCorner]

This is a UniFi AP LR (UAP-LR), there is no WiFi 5 radio.

[@enkrypt3d]

why is it slower on openwrt?

[@ciberconntrol]

Hi after this flash can i run i repeater bridge mode ? Thanks

[@VanTechCorner]

Hi, you can surely do that. There is video on the channel "AP Client" and "AP bridge", you can check it out.

[@ciberconntrol]

[@ciberconntrol]

[@VanTechCorner]

Great 👍 Thanks for sharing the information.

[@hotuananh79]

Thanks video.admin can you guide me how to update openwrt for xiaomi x6000?

[@VanTechCorner]

Hi, the device is not supported by OpenWRT currently. You can check the update & status at openwrt.org/inbox/toh/xiaomi/xiaomi_ax3600

[@ginantonurwahyudi4644]

please dump file unifi uap lr

[@AndreAndre-ud6dj]

Great Video, i have a Ubiquiti UAP-Pro, can you do a how to install DD-WRT from original firmware???

[@VanTechCorner]

Hi, I have no idea on DD-WRT, if it has the same file system and mtd info with OpenWRT, I think the installation process is the same. But you better check with who used DD-WRT before to avoid damaging the AP.

[@trungnghia2587]

help me please. I can't booting it. can you show me how to do it?

[@0zc]

Beware. I see most comments are a year old. this broke my unit entirely. Now entering a kernel panic. (my mistake see below)

[@VanTechCorner]

Make sure you follow the guide (wiki) where there are changes in the start/end address according to the OpenWrt version. My video will work if you install the same OpenWrt version like what I am doing. 2 months ago, I flashed another UAP-LR to OpenWrt and it worked just fine.

[@0zc]

​@@VanTechCorner My mistake (RTFM) was that the latest version is broken and using the same version that you used in the video was exactly what I needed. Not it works smoothly after I followed with that older firmware on a UAP-LR. Thank you so much.
