How do you recover from the bootloop? Does the OpenWrt settings reset recover the router from the bootloop?
By using UART serial console ā I chose 1: Load System code to SDRAM via TFTP
and upload asus_rt-ax89x-initramfs-factory.trx
downloaded from https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/24.10.0-rc7/targets/qualcommax/ipq807x/ site.
When OpenWrt is ready at 192.168.1.1
, I then upload asus_rt-ax89x-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
using Luci web UI (also downloaded from https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/24.10.0-rc7/targets/qualcommax/ipq807x/).
You may refer this UART serial console logs:
I saw your log and I cannot help you. Maybe you should open an issue on github. Just a curiosity, have you tried the NSS build to see if it works?
No. Can you point me to the NSS build/guide docs?
Considering there may be other issues it would be good if we can load the initramfs.trx
image from the USB too.
Something like Linksys MX4300 (and other models) for example.
Quote from MX4300 instructions:
5. USB recovery:
Put the initramfs image on the USB:
dd bs=1M if=openwrt-qualcommax-ipq807x-linksys_mx4300-initramfs-uImage.itb of=/dev/sdX
Set u-boot env:
fw_setenv bootusb 'usb start && usbboot $loadaddr 0 && bootm $loadaddr'
fw_setenv bootcmd 'run bootusb; if test $auto_recovery = no; then bootipq; elif test $boot_part = 1; then run bootpart1; else run bootpart2; fi'
@robimarko @remittor Do you know if that is possible with AX89X?
I cannot say that I have tried it, but if USB works in U-Boot then technically you can do it
Hello everyone!
Iām having trouble connecting to my router in failsafe mode. Hereās what I do:
-
I turn on the router and wait until the power LED starts blinking
-
Then press the WPS button
-
The power LED begins blinking very fast (about 10 times per second), which means the router is in failsafe mode
-
I plug an Ethernet cable into port LAN1 in router
-
I set my computerŠ²ās network settings to 192.168.1.10/24
Then I try to connect to 192.168.1.1 using SSH and Telnet, but it doesnāt work, and I canāt even ping it. Iāve tried all the ports from LAN1 to LAN8, but nothing works.
Has anyone successfully connected to a router in failsafe mode? Thanks for help
I have a similar situation. I have two home networks - one on 5 GHz and one on 2.4 GHz (with different SSIDs). I also set up a guest WiFi on the 2.4 GHz network. Everything worked fine for a couple of days, but then it crashed and went into an endless reboot loop. The logs show a kernel error related to the WiFi.
I've re-flashed the router and reconfigured the guest WiFi. So far, the first day has been smooth - I'll keep monitoring it.
I just installed recently released 24.10 on one of the routers. Am I missing something or apk usage wasn't actually enabled in it? It still seems to be using opkg.
Ah, I see
OpenWrt 24.10 uses OPKG only, APK packages are not supported. Only main branch was changed to APK
I guess that switch happened after release branch was originally created.
Is it safe doing sysupgrade from the snapshot (that was created before 24.10 came out) to 24.10 without resetting configuration?
