The Winstars WS-WN583A6 is a wireless repeater with 2 gigabit ethernet
ports. Even if mine is branded as "Gemeita AC2100", the sticker on the
back says WS-WN583A6. So I will refer to it as Winstars WS-WN583A6.
Probably the real product name is the Wavlink WL-WN583A6 because of
the many references to Wavlink in the OEM firmware and bootlog.

Everything works correctly.
Currently there is no firmware update available. Because of this, in
order to restore the OEM firmware, you must firstly dump the OEM
firmware from your router before you flash the OpenWrt image.
Backup the OEM Firmware
-----------------------
The following steps are to be intended for users having little to none
experience in linux. Obviously there are many ways to backup the OEM
firmware, but probably this is the easiest way for this router.
Procedure tested on M83A6.V5030.191210 firmware version.
1) Go to http://192.168.10.1/webcmd.shtml
2) Type the following line in the "Command" input box:
mkdir /etc_ro/lighttpd/www/dev; for i in /dev/mtd*ro; do dd if=${i} of=/etc_ro/lighttpd/www${i}; done
3) Click "Apply"
4) After few seconds, in the textarea should appear this output:
16384+0 records in
16384+0 records out
8388608 bytes (8.0MB) copied, 4.038820 seconds, 2.0MB/s

dd: can't open '/dev/mtd5ro': No such device
dd: can't open '/dev/mtd6ro': No such device
dd: can't open '/dev/mtd7ro': No such device
Excluding the "X.XXXXXX seconds" part, you should get the same
exact output. If your output doesn't match mine, stop reading
and ask for help in the forum.
5) Open the following links to download the partitions of the OEM FW:
http://192.168.10.1/dev/mtd0ro
http://192.168.10.1/dev/mtd1ro
http://192.168.10.1/dev/mtd2ro
http://192.168.10.1/dev/mtd3ro
http://192.168.10.1/dev/mtd4ro
If one (or more) of these files weight 0 byte, stop reading and ask
for help in the forum.
6) Store these downloaded files in a safe place.
7) Reboot your router to remove any temporary file from your router.
Installation
------------
Flash the initramfs image in the OEM firmware interface.
When openwrt boots, flash the sysupgrade image otherwise you won't be
able to keep configuration between reboots.
Restore OEM Firmware
--------------------
Flash the "mtd4ro" file you previously backed-up directly from LUCI.
Warning: Remember to not keep settings!
Warning2: Remember to force the flash.
Notes
-----
1) The "System Command" page allows to run every command as root.
For example you can use "dd" and "nc" to backup the OEM firmware.
PC (SERVER):
nc -l 5555 > ./mtdXro
ROUTER (CLIENT):
dd if=/dev/mtdXro | nc PC_IP_ADDRESS 5555
2) The OEM web interface accepts only images containing the string
"WN583A6" in the filename.
Currently the OEM interface accepts only the initramfs image
probably because it checks if the ih_size in the image header is
equal to the whole image size (instead of the kernel size)

https://forum.openwrt.org/t/support-for-strong-1200/22768/19
3) The white led (namely "Smart Night Light") can be controller by the
user only if the side switch is set to "Schedule" otherwise it will
be activated by the light condition (there is a photodiode on the
top side of the router)

LAN XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:8F
WAN XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:90

WIFI 5G XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:92
