Download this model's files: ajkfi.com/download/fw-ar-w410
Everything in that folder is for this router and no other. Always take the highest version number in it.

  1. Open the Breed rescue page
    Network cable from your PC to any LAN socket, internet line unplugged. With the router off, hold Reset, switch the power on, and keep holding about 5 seconds. Open http://192.168.1.1.
  2. Write AJKFi
    Open Firmware update, tick Firmware, choose the AJKFi file and press start. Do not unplug anything while it writes. The router restarts by itself.
Tick Firmware only

Not Bootloader, not EEPROM, not full flash. Writing the bootloader by mistake is the one thing on this router that cannot be undone without opening the case.

First time with Breed? Ask us first

If your router has no Breed on it yet, send us the model and a photo of its label on Facebook. We will tell you what to do, or flash it for you. Do not install a bootloader you found yourself.

Still showing the old version after a flash?

1. Press Ctrl + Shift + R on a computer (or clear the browser cache on a phone) - the browser may be showing the old pages it saved.

2. Still old? The router was updated online before, and flashing through Breed does not clear those saved update files, so they hide the new firmware. Do System → Factory reset once, then activate again. (Flashing from OpenWrt with Keep settings unticked clears them by itself.)

2. Activate

  1. Plug in the internet
    Put your internet cable into the router's WAN socket. The router needs to reach us once to collect its licence.
  2. Open the admin page
    Connect to the Wi-Fi called AJK PISOWIFI, then open http://10.0.0.1:8080. Sign in with admin / admin.
  3. Activate
    Open System. If you sent us your Account ID when you bought, press Check In Now and the licence arrives by itself. If you were given a licence code, type it in instead. The page shows Licensed when it is done.

3. Set the admin password

  1. Change admin / admin
    Go to Settings → Admin Account and set your own password. Anyone connected to your Wi-Fi can reach this login page, so do it before the machine goes out.
  2. Put the dashboard on your phone
    Open http://10.0.0.1:8080 on your phone. Android (Chrome): menu ⋮ → Add to Home screen. iPhone (Safari): Share → Add to Home Screen. It gets the AJKFi icon and opens straight to the Dashboard.
  3. Open it from anywhere (Cloud Remote)
    Sign in at ajkfi.com, open My machines and press Remote - the dashboard opens already signed in, from anywhere with internet (AJKFi 3.55 or newer, Lite 1.4 or newer). Give the machine a name there with Rename. Remote can be switched off on the router under Network → Cloud Remote.

4. Name your Wi-Fi

  1. Name your customer Wi-Fi
    Network → Wireless. Rename AJK PISOWIFI to your shop name. Leave it open - customers pay at the portal, not with a password. Name it before you open: the name cannot be changed while a customer with running time is connected.
  2. Add a hidden Wi-Fi for the coin slot
    On the same page, under Add Another SSID, add a second SSID on the 2.4 GHz radio, tick Hidden, and give it a password - required, the coin slot will not join a Wi-Fi without one. 2.4 GHz matters: the coin slot board cannot see 5 GHz.

5. Connect the coin slot

Flashing the coin slot board
Serial port, firmware file, 115200, DIO, erase, then Flash.
  1. Flash the board
    Easiest: open ajkfi.com/flash (the ESP8266 Online Flasher) in Chrome or Edge on a computer, plug the board in with a USB data cable and press Connect and flash - choose New board for a new one, Update for one already in service (it stays paired with the router). Or use PyFlasher or NodeMCU Flasher: 115200, DIO, erase yes on a new board, no when updating. From coin slot 2.5 on, later updates come from the router: Settings → Coinslot Hardware → Update coin slot.
  2. Pair it with the router
    On the router tap Pair coin slot in Settings → Coinslot Hardware, then power the board. A coin slot 2.9 or newer finds the router by itself: within about a minute the router shows Paired - no phone, nothing to type. Then set the lock to Active HIGH in Settings → Coinslot Hardware → Coin acceptor wiring and tap Save to coin slot. Older board, or two machines pairing at the same time: join the board's own Wi-Fi AJKFi-Coinslot-Setup from a phone, pick the coin slot Wi-Fi, type its password, set the lock mode to Active HIGH and press Save & connect.
  3. Wire it
    Three wires from the coin acceptor to the ESP8266 board: COIN to D6, SET (the lock wire) to D7, and GND to GND. The ground wire is not optional - without it the coin slot counts coins that were never inserted. The 12 V adapter runs the acceptor and the board together through the base board's DC socket.
    Coin slot wiring
    Red and black go to the base board's DC socket with the 12 V adapter. White is COIN to D6. Yellow is SET, the lock wire, to D7. Ground must be shared.
  4. Test it and put it in the box
    Insert a real coin through the portal and watch it appear. Then drop a coin without tapping INSERT COIN: it must come back out - if it is taken, switch the lock the other way in Settings → Coinslot Hardware → Coin acceptor wiring on the router and tap Save to coin slot (coin slot 2.4 + AJKFi 3.45 or newer; older boards: on the board's setup page, hold its FLASH button 3 seconds). If coins go in but no time is credited, try the coin signal (D6) setting there the other way. The wires do not change. Then mount everything in the box and test one more coin. Swapping in a new board later: tap Pair new coin slot in Settings → Coinslot Hardware first.

6. If the router will not start

  1. Go back into Breed
    Hold Reset, switch the power on, hold about 5 seconds, then open http://192.168.1.1.
  2. Flash again
    Firmware update → Firmware, choose the AJKFi file again. Breed lives in a part of the router AJKFi never touches, so this always works.
