Edimax CAX1800 is a 802.11 ax dual-band AP
with PoE. AP can be ceiling or wall mount.
Specifications:
• CPU: Qualcomm IPQ8070A Quad core Cortex-A53 1.4GHz
• RAM: 512MB of DDR3
• Storage: 128MB NAND (contains rootfs) / 8MB NOR (contains art and uboot-env)
• Ethernet: 1x 1G RJ45 port (QCA8072) PoE
• WLAN:
2.4GHz: Qualcomm QCN5024 2x2 802.11b/g/n/ax 574 Mbps PHY rate
5GHz: Qualcomm QCN5054 2x2 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax 1201 PHY rate
• LEDs:
3 x GPIO-controlled System-LEDs
(form one virtual RGB System-LED)
black_small_square Buttons: 1x soft reset
black_small_square Power: 12V DC jack or PoE (802.3af )
An unpopulated serial header is onboard.
RX/TX is working, bootwait is active, secure boot is not enabled.
SSH can be activated in the stock firmware, but it drops only
to a limited shell .
Installation Instructions:
black_small_square obtain serial access
black_small_square stop auto boot
black_small_square tftpboot the initramfs image (serverip is set to 192.168.99.8 in uboot)
black_small_square bootm
black_small_square copy openwrt-ipq807x-generic-edimax_cax1800-squashfs-nand-factory.ubi
to the device
black_small_square write the image to the NAND:
black_small_square cat /proc/mtd and look for rootfs partition (should be mtd0)
black_small_square ubiformat /dev/mtd0 -f -y openwrt-ipq807x-generic-edimax_cax1800-squashfs-
nand-factory.ubi
black_small_square reboot
Note: Device is not using dual partitioning (NAND contains other partitions
with different manufacture data etc.)
Draytek VigorAP 960C and Lancom LW-600 both look similar, but I haven't checked them.
