OpenWrt for Hiveton H5000M

This repository is a specialized fork of OpenWrt, heavily customized and optimized specifically for the Hiveton H5000M router.

Hardware Specifications

• SoC: MediaTek MT7988A (Filogic 880) - Quad-Core ARM Cortex-A73
• Wi-Fi: MediaTek MT7992/MT7996 (True Wi-Fi 7 / EHT / 802.11be)
• Networking: 2x 2.5GbE Ports (WAN/LAN)
• Cellular Expansion: M.2 Slot supporting 5G Cellular Modems (Pre-configured for Quectel RM520N-GL)

Features Included in This Build

This fork is designed to provide a perfect "Out of the Box" experience for the Hiveton H5000M. When you flash the compiled sysupgrade binary, the following features are automatically configured and enabled:

1. Hardware NAT Offloading (PPE):

   • The MediaTek Packet Processing Engine is enabled globally.
   • Delivers zero-CPU wire-speed routing (2.5Gbps) out of the box.

2. Native Wi-Fi 7 Support:

   • Includes the exact -23 ROM patches and the 2i5i factory calibration EEPROM required to initialize the radio.
   • Both 2.4GHz and 5GHz radios are active on first boot, broadcasting the Hiveton_H5000M SSID securely (Open/No Password by default to allow initial setup).

3. Plug-and-Play 5G Cellular:

   • Includes complete QMI protocol integration.
   • A dedicated wan_5g interface is pre-bridged to the firewall. Simply insert your 5G SIM card, and the router will auto-negotiate and connect to the cellular network.

4. Thermal Management & GUI:

   • Includes native OpenWrt PWM Fan Control.
   • The complete LuCI Web UI is baked directly into the default image.
