Flashing from factory (virgin)

Using Web GUI (Recommended)

  1. Set TL-MR3020 Mode Switch to either 3G/4G or WISP

  2. Connect to the TL-MR3020 router via Ethernet cable

  3. Open IP address 192.168.0.254

  4. log in to the router's web GUI (default login/password: admin / admin)

  5. overwrite the factory firmware by installing the openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-mr3020-v1-squashfs-factory.bin firmware image like a regular firmware update.

Wait for the progress bar to finish twice (the device will reset itself in the process), and proceed with basic configuration as with any fresh libreCMC install.
