I see you want to switch from Padavan firmware to OpenWrt for your DIR-853 A3 router. Here’s what you need to do:
- Preparation: First, make sure you have internet access and can connect to the router via an Ethernet cable. This is important to avoid wireless connection issues during the process.
- Download the firmware: Go to the official OpenWrt website and download the appropriate firmware for the DIR-853 A3. Make sure you select the correct version.
- Reset settings: Although you’ve already tried resetting the router, make sure you do it properly. Press and hold the reset button on the router for 10-15 seconds while it’s powered on.
- Flashing process: Access the configuration interface of the Padavan router, usually at 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1. In the firmware section, select the OpenWrt firmware file and follow the on-screen instructions. Do not turn off the router during this process.
- Configuring OpenWrt: After the flashing process is complete, the router will reboot. Access the new OpenWrt interface at 192.168.1.1 and set it up as you like.
