Sorry, that’s a v1.18.345 hamster so your sacrifice won’t work as your router only accepts v1.2.829 or higher.
Stupid router. v1.18.345 is the higher one. The hamster must have introduced breaking changes if they’re incompatible.

No, v1.2 is the higher version. The full name is “hamster gen 3 maxpro v1.2”

v1.18 was the final version of “hamster gen 3 maxpro first edition.”

I was gonna say that the hamster is too new and the router can’t parse minor versions with two digits in it, but I like your answer better.

The actual solution is to flash it with OpenWRT

Thank you, this solution worked perfectly.
