D-Link DAP-1350

This device is NOT RECOMMENDED for future use with OpenWrt due to low flash/ram.
DO NOT BUY DEVICES WITH 4MB FLASH / 32MB RAM if you intend to flash an up-to-date and secure OpenWrt version onto it! See 4/32 warning for details.

1) This device does not have sufficient resources (flash and/or RAM) to provide secure and reliable operation.
This means that even setting a password or changing simple network settings might not be possible any more, rendering the device effectively useless. See OpenWrt on 4/32 devices what you can do now.

2) OpenWrt support for this device has ended in 2022.
19.07.10 was the last official build for 4/32 devices.

Installation

Outdated Information!
This article contains information that is outdated or no longer valid. You can edit this page to update it.

The build script is currently run on trunk so official binary is available. Install openwrt-15.05.1-ramips-rt305x-dap-1350WW-squashfs-factory.bin if you have worldwide version DAP-1350 or openwrt-15.05.1-ramips-rt305x-dap-1350-squashfs-factory.bin for Chinese version using default router administrative interface.

Build from trunk or 'attitude_adjustment' or 'chaos_calmer' branch. For more information about building see the build documentation.

svn co svn://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/trunk/
# Build configuration. From 'make menuconfig'; Target system: Ralink RT288x/RT3xxx, Subtarget: RT305x based boards
echo CONFIG_TARGET_ramips=y >.config
echo CONFIG_TARGET_ramips_rt305x=y >>.config
echo CONFIG_TARGET_ramips_rt305x_Default=y >>.config
make

When the build process is done (yes, this could take several hours), flash the appropriate generated (openwrt-*-squashfs-factory.bin) file from web interface or from recovery mode (turn off; hold reset; turn on; go to http://dlinkap or http://192.168.0.50). Use the file matching your router model (IE: openwrt-ramips-rt305x-dap-1350WW-squashfs-factory.bin for DAP-1350)

Device specific configuration

Wireless LED

On a basic installation the wireless LED does not blink if data is transmitted and/or received. To fix this simply append this block to /etc/config/system:

option 'led' 'wlan_led'
	option 'name'		'WLAN'
	option 'sysfs'		'rt2800pci-phy0::radio'
	option 'trigger'	'netdev'
	option 'dev'		'wlan0'
	option 'mode'		'link tx rx'

More detailed information about LEDs can be found here.

Failsafe mode

failsafe_and_factory_reset

If you forgot your password, broke one of the startup scripts, firewalled yourself out, or corrupted the JFFS2 partition, you can get back in by using OpenWrt's failsafe mode.

Boot into failsafe mode

What to do in failsafe mode?

NOTE: The root file system in failsafe mode is the SquashFS partition mounted in readonly mode. To switch to the normal writable root file system run mount_root and make any changes. Run mount_root now.

  1. Forgot/lost your password and you like to set a new one
    passwd
  2. Forgot the routers IP address
    uci get network.lan.ipaddr
  3. You accidentally run 'ipkg upgrade' or filled up the flash by installing large packages (clean the JFFS2 partition and start over)
    mtd -r erase rootfs_data

If you are done with failsafe mode power cycle the router and boot in normal mode.

Model DAP-1350

If all else fails

The DAP-1350 has a special D-Link firmware mode that runs a HTTP server on 192.168.0.50 for uploading new firmware. If you get locked out and/or brick your device, you can get into this mode by holding down the reset button for 30-45 seconds while booting the device. Note that the IP of the server it runs is 192.168.*0*.50.
