Installation

Before You Flash

  • Back up your current configuration (System then Backup / Flash Firmware).
  • Download the correct AW1000 sysupgrade image from Releases: arcadyan_aw1000-rj11-passwall1-sysupgrade.bin or arcadyan_aw1000-rj11-passwall2-sysupgrade.bin.
  • Ensure stable power to avoid bricking.

These steps are for routers already running OpenWrt or NoobWRT with the standard AW1000 layout. If sysupgrade says the device is not supported by the image, do not force it. Use the UART Guide instead.

Flash via Web UI

  1. Log in to the web UI: http://192.168.1.1.
  2. Go to System then Backup / Flash Firmware.
  3. Upload the sysupgrade image, for example arcadyan_aw1000-rj11-passwall1-sysupgrade.bin.
  4. Untick Keep settings if you are coming from a different firmware.
  5. Confirm the upgrade and wait for the device to reboot.

Flash via CLI

Copy the image to the router, for example into /tmp:

scp arcadyan_aw1000-rj11-passwall1-sysupgrade.bin [email protected]:/tmp/

Check the image, then run sysupgrade:

sysupgrade -T /tmp/arcadyan_aw1000-rj11-passwall1-sysupgrade.bin
sysupgrade -n /tmp/arcadyan_aw1000-rj11-passwall1-sysupgrade.bin

-n erases all settings

sysupgrade -n erases all settings, including PassWall nodes and Wi-Fi. Drop -n to keep your settings.

After Upgrade

  • Reconnect to http://192.168.1.1.
  • Set or reset the admin password.
  • Restore configuration if needed.
  • To use the RJ11 phone port, follow Phone (RJ11).

If something goes wrong, follow the Recovery section.
