# FW No-Brand Version V5.70(ACDZ.0)C0 compiled from Zyxel provided OpenSource package.
The following is a firmware compiled starting from Zyxel provided OpenSource package under GPL license.

- [source GPL package V5.70(ACDZ.0)C0](https://github.com/ErnyTech/zyxel-ex5601t0)

--- Use at your own risk!!!! ---

The firmware contains the following modifications too:

1. Added start-up script to reset and enable root access via ssh with password "passwd". Do not try to reset the root password because that will last until next reboot.
2. the /bin path contains sfp_wan.sh_wind and check_sfp_link.sh_wind scripts which are very similar to the standard sfp_wan.sh and check_sfp_link.sh scripts. If everything works with the original ones do not swap them. If you wan to allow 2.5gbit hsgmii with afm0003 and ma5671a you need to swap and enable the "_wind" scripts.
