The MAC addresses are derived from the `fac_mac` field in the `bdinfo` partition, formatted as `fac_mac = HWMAC`. The allocation is as follows:
| Vendor | OpenWrt Interface | Address | Notes |
|---------|-------------------|---------------|------------------------------------------------|
| LAN | br-lan | Label MAC | Default |
| WAN | lan4 | Label MAC+1 | Only when lan4 is switched to WAN |
| 2.4GHz | phy0-ap0 | Label MAC | |
| 5GHz | phy1-ap0 | Label MAC | (Local Admin bit set) |
| Modem | eth1 | Label MAC+2 | |
1. Log in to the router via `http://192.168.66.1`/.
2. Upgrade the official firmware to dual-system mode.
3. Select **Burn second system** and upload the `sysupgrade.bin` image.
- Download the image from the OpenWrt build system or build it yourself using the OpenWrt buildroot.
4. Wait for 30 seconds and click **Switch system**.
5. The device will reboot and switch to OpenWrt.
Set the U-Boot environment variable `boot_system=0` and reboot:
```bash
fw_setenv boot_system 0
```
Power off the router, hold the **WPS button**, and power it back on.
1. Rename the stock firmware file to **`recovery.bin`**.
2. Set your PC's Ethernet IP to **192.168.1.88** and connect it to the lan1 port on the router.
3. Run a TFTP server and place the `recovery.bin` file in its root directory.
4. Power off the router, press and hold the **Reset button**, and power it back on.
5. Release the Reset button when the TFTP server shows activity.
6. Wait for the router to flash the firmware and reboot automatically.
- By default, `lan4` is part of `br-lan` and uses the label MAC address.
- To query the RM520N-GL module, use the following command:
```bash
cat /dev/ttyUSB2 & printf 'ATI\r\n' > /dev/ttyUSB2
