Installation notes

  • Already running OpenWrt or ImmortalWrt: flash the sysupgrade image from LuCI (System → Backup / Flash Firmware) or with the sysupgrade command.
  • The kernel / initramfs image boots from RAM without writing to flash — useful for a first install or for recovering from a failed flash.
  • Verify your download against the published checksum before flashing:
    $ sha256sum openwrt-25.12.5-ramips-mt7621-glinet_gl-mt1300-initramfs-kernel.bin
    8420eb80658286d3ccb39902752b39d8ae6cab8a0a26ca287feb54059dea0232  openwrt-25.12.5-ramips-mt7621-glinet_gl-mt1300-initramfs-kernel.bin
