Installing OpenWrt on the R700

Installation on this device is rated moderate. Expect to use a recovery mode, TFTP or a vendor tool rather than a plain web upload. Documented methods: see git-commit.

SIgned intermediate image from https://github.com/user-attachments/files/19836447/openwrt-ramips-mt7621-cudy_r700-squashfs-flash.zip should be installed first

Flashing third-party firmware can brick a router and usually voids the warranty. Always check that the firmware image matches your exact hardware version.
