WE826-Q Any help with this model?

[aaron.brisendine]

Hello everyone I have been reading a lot on these forums and I am a big time nerd when it comes to this stuff. I am however kinda stuck here. I have a WE826-Q modem/router and I wanted to put custom firmware on it. I tried using the default admin page to do a firmware upgrade too WiFiX which I believe is custom firmware designed by Wireless Joint if im not mistaken. Well it will not recognize the firmware so i couldn't install.

Did some more poking around and found the post about using the bootloader too flash and I was unsuccessful in that as well. The bootloader recovery screen on mine is way different than anything I have seen posted. I would greatly appreciate it if anyone could take the time to help me out some. I may just start over and do a completely new build but I would really like to get this one working as I paid way too much for it and cant get my money back. Here are some pictures of what is going on.

Network Information Page(Ignore the signal strength and other info (no sim inserted or antennas attached)):

Error I get when trying to do custom firmware:

Bootloader Page:

That's because your WE826-"Q" model is based on a Qualcomm chipset (QCA9531 instead of the MediaTek's MT7620). Don't think there's a custom firmware developed for this model yet, but you may want to Google it, just make sure to search for "WE826-Q OpenWRT firmware".

There is now a version of ROOter firmware available for this router. I presume mine is the same model. I just go by the Q in the version for compatibility for now until another Q version is released.
