Netcore N60 Pro / Netis MEX6000 / NX62

The Netcore N60 Pro (and its hardware-identical twins, Netis MEX6000 in South Korea and Netis NX62) is a high-performance Wi-Fi 6 router based on the MediaTek MT7986AV (Filogic 830) SoC. It features 2x 2.5GbE ports, 3x 1GbE ports, and 4×4 MU-MIMO on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands.

→ Install OpenWrt (generic explanation)

1. Connect your PC to a 1GbE LAN port on the router (e.g., LAN 4). Set a static IP on your PC: 192.168.1.254, Gateway 192.168.1.1. 2. Log in to the OEM web interface at ``http://192.168.1.1`` and complete the initial setup to set an administrator password. 3. Connect to the router using ssh (user: useradmin, pass: web interface password)

ssh useradmin@192.168.1.1

4. Make mtd backup:

dd if=/dev/mtd0 | gzip - | dd of=/tmp/mtd0_spi.bin.gz
dd if=/dev/mtd1 | gzip - | dd of=/tmp/mtd1_bl2.bin.gz
dd if=/dev/mtd2 | gzip - | dd of=/tmp/mtd2_uboot_env.bin.gz
dd if=/dev/mtd3 | gzip - | dd of=/tmp/mtd3_factory.bin.gz
dd if=/dev/mtd4 | gzip - | dd of=/tmp/mtd4_fip.bin.gz
dd if=/dev/mtd5 | gzip - | dd of=/tmp/mtd5_ubi.bin.gz

5. Download mtd backup from the /tmp dir of the router to your PC using scp protocol (for example, you can use WinSCP for Windows)

1. Download OpenWrt images for this device from https://downloads.openwrt.org/ (choose release you need). You will need: preloader.bin, bl31-uboot.fip, initramfs-recovery.itb, and squashfs-sysupgrade.itb.

2. Upload OpenWrt bl31-uboot.fip and preloader.bin images to the /tmp dir of the router using scp protocol.

3. Connect to the router using ssh and replace the bootloader:

cd /tmp
mtd write preloader.bin spi0.1
mtd write bl31-uboot.fip FIP

4. Place OpenWrt initramfs-recovery.itb image on the tftp server (for example, you can use tftpd64 for Windows) and select interface with IP 192.168.1.254.

5. Erase ubi partition and reboot the router:

mtd erase ubi
reboot

6. The router will automatically connect to your TFTP server and download the recovery image. Wait for the transfer to complete and the router to boot into OpenWrt.

7. Once the router boots, navigate to http://192.168.1.1 in your web browser (login is root). Go to System → Backup / Flash Firmware.

8. Click Flash image... and upload the squashfs-sysupgrade.itb file from your PC. Uncheck the “Keep settings” box and click Continue.

Note: If you have a netis MEX6000(a hardware twin of the Netcore N60 Pro with the stock firmware for South Korea market), please read the manufacturer's guide: How to install ImmortalWrt on the netis MEX6000 and revert to the stock firmware It explains how to install ImmortalWrt(a Chinese fork of OpenWrt), but you can simply install the OpenWrt firmware instead of ImmortalWrt.

1. Upload your previously saved original partition backups (*.bin.gz) to the /tmp dir of the router using scp protocol.

2. Connect to the router using ssh.

3. Restore the backup partitions by running:

dd if=/tmp/mtd0_spi.bin.gz | gunzip - | dd of=/dev/mtd0
dd if=/tmp/mtd1_bl2.bin.gz | gunzip - | dd of=/dev/mtd1
dd if=/tmp/mtd2_uboot_env.bin.gz | gunzip - | dd of=/dev/mtd2
dd if=/tmp/mtd3_factory.bin.gz | gunzip - | dd of=/dev/mtd3
dd if=/tmp/mtd4_fip.bin.gz | gunzip - | dd of=/dev/mtd4
dd if=/tmp/mtd5_ubi.bin.gz | gunzip - | dd of=/dev/mtd5

→ generic.sysupgrade

• Browse to http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/luci/admin/system/flash LuCI Upgrade URL
• Upload image file for sysupgrade to LuCI
• Wait for reboot

• Login as root via SSH on 192.168.1.1, then enter the following commands:

cd /tmp
wget https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/25.12.5/targets/mediatek/filogic/openwrt-25.12.5-mediatek-filogic-netcore_n60-pro-squashfs-sysupgrade.itb
sysupgrade -n /tmp/openwrt-25.12.5-mediatek-filogic-netcore_n60-pro-squashfs-sysupgrade.itb

→ generic.debrick

1. Place OpenWrt openwrt-mediatek-filogic-netcore_n60-pro-initramfs-recovery.itb image on the tftp server (for example, you can use tftpd64 for Windows) with IP 192.168.1.254

2. Press “Reset” button and power on the router. After ~10 sec release the button.

3. Use OpenWrt initramfs system for recovery.

Use mtk_uartboot and UART connection if BL2 and/or FIP is destroyed. https://github.com/981213/mtk_uartboot
