Hey guys,
I havent used OpenWrt in a while. I decided to pick up the Flint 2. I just flashed the latest OpenWRT sysupgrade. I am trying to install Luci and I am getting -ash: opkg: not found can someone please tell me what I need to do to get this working please?
If you have installed a snapshot you have to use apk add instead, or sysupgrade down to stable release with opkg.
So would it be the same way? Instead of typing opkg update would I do apk update? Then apk install luci?
Yes, package manager changed right after 24.10 was branched.
I typed apk update and it updated. However, when I type apk install luci I get the fallowing.
ERROR: 'install' is not an apk command. See 'apk --help'.
red this? apk add luci

Thanks alot I appreciate it 
The reason I ended up flashing a sysupgrade of vanilla openwrt is because I tried the factory images and for some reason I cannot get steady download speeds. Even over a wired connection. I have Xfinity gigabit extra which is 1.2gb/35mbps. When I am connected directly to the Xfinity modem (XB8) my downloads are around 1300-1400mbps down and 41mbps up. With the GLINET images I am only getting 600-800mbps down most of the time.
You can manually enable hardware offload in 23.05.5 (or it will be enabled in 24.10-rc0 as soon as that is out)
https://openwrt.org/toh/gl.inet/gl-mt6000#hardware_acceleration
Hardware offload is device-to-device DMA, and as such it does not use system memory to store and forward packets.
On this latest snapshot to get the fastest speeds possible is hardware acceleration and packet steerring the two settings I need to make sure I enable? Is there any other settings you would recommend? I see there is some new stuff since the last time I used openwrt.
If I want to go back to the glinet 24.10-rc0 when it is released can I just flash the sysupgrade to go back from this openwrt snapshot and everything will be fine?
Read the device info page - WED acceleration - wifi to wired direct copy is now enabled by default.= and you dont have to change anything. Accelerated packets do not reach the point where irqbalance or steering matters.
Okay so I think I got everything setup correctly. I have hardware acceleration on and my wireless networks configured.
So the Wireless Ethernet Dispatch and Adjusting AQL I do not need to mess with because WED is now enabled by default?
Nothing to do with speed. No need to dig into that deep tuning. If you are in busy area too short queues will turn into packet drops.
Awesome, thanks so much for all your help. I really do appreciate you taking the time to help me out I am happy I am now getting my full download speeds with the router connected. Before I was only getting between 600-800mbps. Now I am getting 1400mbps downloads. I thought it was my ISP. I didnt know hardware offloading was not automatically enabled on stock firmware.
