I'v had success installing dd-wrt onto a rarlink 3052 based generic
Chinese AP MIMO units( JCG-JIR-N615R model using initially ralink's
default firmware at the time). My write up is located at : <br>

<div class="h5">I have recently come across a Russian
based site that supports alternative open source
firmware for the venerable Realtek 8186 chip and newer
and very cheap Ralink 305x SoCs. I have a Minitar
MWGAP which I will try the 8186 firmware out on later
this week as I am still using it in client mode for a
PC but it's pretty unreliable (needs a power cycle
veryday as it stops talking to the AP). I have also
tried the Ralink firmware on an OEM 802.11bgn 2.4GHz
AP/router with success.<br>
<br>
Either way both chips have current and working source
code available for hacking as well as binary blobs to
install. Just use <a moz-do-not-send="true"

I would be very interested to hear the results. I think this
device has a lot of potential as it seems to have quite high
ouput. I have been mucking around with the MWGAP as well. I
will try this myself anyway. Thanks for the info.<br>

I have just installed the wive.bin file onto my MWGAP with
success using the web based firmware upgrade option. I
thought I had bricked it as it doesn't respond to pings but
sshing in to 100.200.200.249 brought it to life. There is no
web page, just ssh and a simple text menu with vi based
editing. Now to work out what the fsck it all means!
Finally, after all these years I have alternative firmware for
my old MWGAP! Are you there Serialmonkey?<br>
<br>
So I can safely say that the RA3052 firmware and RTL8186
firmware from the above site does indeed work! I guess it's
an alternative to using dd-wrt - and there is source for both
too. Apparently for RA3052 devices dd-wrt doesn't use the
hardware IP accelerator but the wive formwire does.<br>
