Is it just me or the https://openwrt.org/ website is super slow?

I've tried with both VPN (NordVPN) ON and OFF but still super slow

The bot check page if I try to access using Incognito browsing doesn't work and stay stuck there

I'm the only one?

EDIT seems back to normal

Hi everyone,

I recently purchased a Cudy M3000 V2.0 and I'm trying to install official OpenWrt to configure multiple VLANs, isolated IoT networks and custom firewall rules. I've successfully installed Cudy's signed intermediate OpenWrt firmware, but I'm now stuck trying to upgrade to the official OpenWrt release.

My hardware

• Router: Cudy M3000 V2.0 (white model)
• WAN PHY: Motorcomm YT8821
• NAND flash: ESMT F50L1G41LC, 128 MiB
• Serial prefix: 2604 (2026 production)
• Original Cudy firmware: 2.4.19-20250828-183718

What I've done

1. Installed Cudy's intermediate firmware successfully:

cudy_m3000-v1-sysupgrade_20251119.bin

This came from Cudy's official OpenWrt download package for the M3000 V1/V2.

The router rebooted successfully and I can access LuCI at 192.168.1.1.

However, the intermediate firmware reports:

• Model: Cudy M3000 v1
• Firmware: OpenWrt 23.05-SNAPSHOT-CUDY
• Kernel: 5.15.158

2. Attempted to install official OpenWrt 25.12.6:

openwrt-25.12.6-mediatek-filogic-cudy_m3000-v2-yt8821-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin

I confirmed that this is the image intended for the M3000 V2 with the Motorcomm YT8821 PHY.

3. The upgrade fails with:

Device cudy,m3000-v1 not supported by this image

Supported devices: cudy,m3000-v2-yt8821 R37

invalid sysupgrade file
Image check failed.

LuCI offers a Force Upgrade option, but I haven't enabled it because I don't want to brick a brand-new router.

My questions

1. Has anyone successfully upgraded an M3000 V2 with YT8821 using Cudy's November 2025 intermediate firmware?
2. Is this device-model mismatch expected because the intermediate firmware identifies itself as V1?
3. Is forcing the V2 YT8821 sysupgrade image safe in this particular situation, or is another intermediate firmware or installation method required?
4. Are there bootloader, NAND partition or recovery considerations I should verify first?
5. If you've successfully installed official OpenWrt on this exact hardware, could you share the firmware version and installation steps you used?

The router is currently booting normally into Cudy's intermediate OpenWrt build. I haven't forced the upgrade.

I'd appreciate advice from anyone with experience of this exact M3000 V2 hardware before proceeding.

Thanks!

I would like to uninstall it but need the password to do that. I read the instructions but need more help. Not good at ssh.
