Netgear WAX218 is a 802.11ax AP claiming AX3600 support. It is wall
or ceiling mountable. It can be powered via PoE, or a 12 V adapter.
The board has footprints for 2.54mm UART headers. They're difficult to
solder because the GND is connected to a large copper plane. Only try
soldering if you are very skilled. Otherwise, use pogo pins.
Specifications:

* RAM: 366 MB of RAM available to OS, not sure of total amount
* Storage: Macronix MX30UF2G18AC 256MB NAND
* Ethernet:
* 2.5G RJ45 port (QCA8081) with PoE input
* WLAN:

* Power: 12V DC Jack
* UART: Two 4-pin unpopulated headers near the LEDs
* "J2 UART" is the CPU UART, 3.3 V level
Installation:
=============
Web UI method
-------------
Flashing OpenWRT using the vendor's Web UI is problematic on this
device. The u-boot mechanism for communicating the active rootfs is
antiquated and unreliable. Instead of setting the kernel commandline,
it relies on patching the DTS partitions of the nand node. The way
partitions are patched is incompatible with newer kernels.
Newer kernels use the SMEM partition table, which puts "rootfs" on
mtd12. The vendor's Web UI will flash to either mtd12 or mtd14. One
reliable way to boot from mtd14 and avoid boot loops is to use an
initramfs image.
1. In the factory web UI, navigate to System Manager -> Firmware.
2. In the "Local Firmware Upgrade" section, click Browse
3. Navigate and select the 'web-ui-factory.fit' image
4. Click "Upload"
5. On the following page, click on "Proceed"
The flash proceeds at this point and the system will reboot
automatically to OpenWRT.
6. Flash the 'nand-sysupgrade.bin' using Luci or the commandline
SSH method
----------
Enable SSH using the CLI or Web UI. The root account is locked out to
ssh, and the admin account defaults to Netgear's CLI application.
So we need to get creative:
First, make sure the device boots from the second firmware partition:
ssh -okexalgorithms=diffie-hellman-group14-sha1 admin@<ipaddr> \
/usr/sbin/fw_setenv active_fw 1
Then reboot the device, and run the update:
scp -O -o kexalgorithms=diffie-hellman-group14-sha1 \
-o hostkeyalgorithms=ssh-rsa \
netgear_wax218-squashfs-nand-factory.ubi \
admin@<ipaddr>:/tmp/openwrt.ubi
ssh -okexalgorithms=diffie-hellman-group14-sha1 admin@<ipaddr> \
/usr/sbin/ubiformat /dev/mtd12 -f /tmp/openwrt.ubi
ssh -okexalgorithms=diffie-hellman-group14-sha1 admin@<ipaddr> \
/usr/sbin/fw_setenv active_fw 0
Now reboot the device, and it should boot into a ready-to-use OpenWRT.

Hardware
--------
SoC: Qualcomm IPQ8065
RAM: 512 MB DDR3
Flash: 256 MB NAND (Macronix MX30UF2G18AC) (split into 2x128MB)
4 MB SPI-NOR (Macronix MX25U3235F)
WLAN: Qualcomm Atheros QCA9984 - 2.4Ghz
Qualcomm Atheros QCA9984 - 5Ghz
ETH: eth0 - POE (100Mbps in U-Boot, 1000Mbps in OpenWrt)
eth1 - (1000Mbps in both)
Auto-negotiation broken on both.
USB: USB 2.0
LED: 5G, 2.4G, ETH1, ETH2, CTRL, PWR (All support green and red)
BTN: Reset
Other: SD card slot (non-functional)
Serial: 115200bps, near the Ethernet transformers, labeled 9X.
Connections from the arrow to the 9X text:
[NC] - [TXD] - [GND] - [RXD] - [NC]
Installation
------------
0. Connect to the device
Plug your computer into LAN2 (1000Mbps connection required).
If you use the LAN1/POE port, set your computer to force a 100Mbps link.
Connect to the device via TTL (Serial) 115200n8.
Locate the header (or solder pads) labeled 9X,
near the Ethernet jacks/transformers.
There should be an arrow on the other side of the header marking.
The connections should go like this:
(from the arrow to the 9X text): NC - TXD - GND - RXD - NC
1. Prepare for installation
While the AP is powering up, interrupt the startup process.
MAKE SURE TO CHECK YOUR CURRENT PARTITION!
If you see: "Current Partition is : partB" or
"Need to switch partition from partA to partB",
you have to force the device into partA mode, before continuing.
This can be done by changing the PKRstCnt to 5 and resetting the device.
setenv PKRstCnt 5
saveenv
reset
After you interrupt the startup process again,
you should see: Need to switch partition from partB to partA
You can now continue to the next step.
If you see: "Current Partition is : partA",
you can continue to the next step.
2. Prevent partition switching.
To prevent the device from switching partitions,
we are going to modify the startup command.
set bootcmd "setenv PKRstCnt 0; saveenv; bootipq"
setenv
3. First boot
Now, we have to boot the OpenWrt intifs.
The easiest way to do this is by using Tiny PXE.
You can also use the normal U-Boot tftp method.
Run "bootp" this will get an IP from the DHCP server
and possibly the firmware image.
If it doesn't download the firmware image, run "tftpboot".
Now run "bootm" to run the image.
You might see:
"ERROR: new format image overwritten - must RESET the board to recover"
this means that the image you are trying to load is too big.
Use a smaller image for the initial boot.
4. Install OpenWrt from initfs
Once you are booted into OpenWrt,
transfer the OpenWrt upgrade image and
use sysupgrade to install OpenWrt to the device.

1. Patch U-Boot by dumping the content of the SPI-Flash using a SPI
programmer. The SHA1 hash for the U-Boot password is currently
unknown.
A tool for patching U-Boot is available at
https://github.com/blocktrron/t10-uboot-patcher/
You can also patch the unknown password yourself. The SHA1 hash is
E597301A1D89FF3F6D318DBF4DBA0A5ABC5ECBEA
2. Interrupt the bootmenu by pressing CTRL+C. A password prompt appears.
The patched password is '1234' (without quotation marks)
3. Download the OpenWrt initramfs image. Copy it to a TFTP server
reachable at 10.0.1.13/24 and rename it to uImage.
4. Connect the TFTP server to ethernet port 0 of the Watchguard T10.
5. Download and boot the initramfs image by entering "tftpboot; bootm;"
in U-Boot.
6. After OpenWrt booted, create a UBI volume on the old data partition.
The "ubi" mtd partition should be mtd7, check this using
$ cat /proc/mtd
Create a UBI partition by executing
$ ubiformat /dev/mtd7 -y
7. Increase the loadable kernel-size of U-Boot by executing
$ fw_setenv SysAKernSize 800000
8. Transfer the OpenWrt sysupgrade image to the Watchguard T10 using
scp. Install the image by using sysupgrade:
$ sysupgrade -n <path-to-sysupgrade>
Note: The LAN ports of the T10 are 1 & 2 while 0 is WAN. You might
have to change the ethernet-port.
9. OpenWrt should now boot from the internal NAND. Enjoy.

Signed-off-by: Eneas U de Queiroz <cotequeiroz@gmail.com>
The bump to 3.0.8 inadvertently removed patches that are needed here,
but were not adopted upstream. The most important one changes the
default value of the DIGESTS setting from ALL to NONE. The absence of
this patch causes a sysupgrade failure while the engine is in use with
digests enabled. When this happens, the system fails to boot with a
kernel panic.
Also, explicitly set DIGESTS to NONE in the provided config file, and
change the default ciphers setting to disable ECB, which has been
recommended for a long time and may cause trouble with some apps.
The config file change by itself is not enough because the config file
may be preserved during sysupgrade.
For people affected by this bug:
You can either:
1. remove, the libopenssl-devcrypto package
2. disable the engine in /etc/config/openssl;
3. change /etc/ssl/engines.cnf.d/devcrypto.cnf to set DIGESTS=NONE;
4. update libopenssl-devcrypto to >=3.0.8-3
However, after doing any of the above, **you must reboot the device
before running sysupgrade** to ensure no running application is using
the engine. Running `/etc/init.d/openssl restart` is not enough.
