Has anyone else tried running the new 5.15 master build on this router? I have tried a few times now but it just causes the router to get stuck in a boot loop. Here is the log.

By removing this line

qcom,boot-partitions = <0x0 0x1180000 0x1340000 0x2400000>;

from the 5.15 dts file (/openwrt/target/linux/ipq806x/files-5.15/arch/arm/boot/dts) I was able to compile a build that will now boot on the RT4230W.

&nand {
	status = "okay";

	nand@0 {
		reg = <0>;
		compatible = "qcom,nandcs";

		nand-ecc-strength = <4>;

		nand-ecc-step-size = <512>;

		qcom,boot-partitions = <0x0 0x1180000 0x1340000 0x2400000>;

		partitions {
			compatible = "fixed-partitions";
			#address-cells = <1>;

			};

Thanks to @Ansuel this issues has been addressed. The master snapshot 5.15 builds will now boot successfully on the RT4230W

ghoffman · January 24, 2023, 12:33pm

i've been using this device for 2 years now.in AP mode. the rados have been fast and strong.
my wan speed is symettric 300/300 up/down and I could consistently achieve or great (overprovisioning) that on a number of different test clients.
however, since upgrading to snapshots from 22.02, i've noticed consistent slowdown in wifi uploads, so now my best speeds are 300 donw/ 180 up. i've removed all add-ons, down a clean install/reset, and disabled all services.
is this a generic problem wiht linux 5.15 and ipq806x?
if this has already been addressed, or if another thread is better, i apologize and please re-direct.
thanks

Hi there,
I attached 4Tb Toshiba Canvio Ready HDD to RAC2V1K USB 3 port.
After that I compare read disk speed copying large files from router samba share to Windows PC nul device. The PC (i5-12400 CPU) is a LAN device attached to router 1Gbps ethernet port, so network is definitely not a bottleneck.

Being attached directly to PC this disk performs at ~130Mb/sec, but performs at only 45Mb/sec on copying data from RAC2V1K/Samba share.

It there any way to speed it up? Or is it a kind of router hardware (SoC, periferals) or software limitation?

p.s.
Using this router as Samba/Transmission/Plex server (Plex is running on dockerd).

Try these builds. They have the NSS cores active which speeds everything up. There is one based on the 22.03-snapshot (stable) and a master build as well. I have been using the 22.03 builds with the RT4230W as my main router and it works very well. I have 800/20 and get 600-700 down and easily 20 up on the wifi and all of it via ethernet.

eginnc · January 25, 2023, 8:54pm

If the HDD is not already formatted as ext4, you could give that a try?

deus2k3 · January 26, 2023, 3:08am

It's already ext4. I used WSL in Windows to access it.

dadogroove · January 26, 2023, 4:25am

I would guess that it is just a limitation of the router. I have a similar setup but using a USB 3.0 hub to attach a 5TB seagate drive divided into 3 partitions (sdb1-3) and a 64GB sdcard (sda1). The hub has a sd slot in it. My results are similar and seem to vary depending on what other activities the router is doing as well. The tests were done one right after another and degrade so I would guess there is a slight memory buffer issue possible too. I do notice that when I transfer a large file the router memory (RAM) fills up but will release after a bit.

I would think that a true NAS device would perform faster but it is not necessary for my needs. It just serves up media and acts as network backup storage for my desktop. The HDD is formatted ext4 and the sdcard is f2fs.

deus2k3 · January 26, 2023, 6:58am

HdParm results are quite good (>120 MB/sec), so USB3.0 controller doesn't seems to be a bottleneck. It's strange that copying via samba slows it down 3 times.

root@RAC2V1K:/mnt/sda1/tmp# mknod /dev/null c 1 3
root@RAC2V1K:/mnt/sda1/tmp# chmod 666 /dev/null

root@RAC2V1K: echo -n 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
root@RAC2V1K:/mnt/sda1/tmp# time dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null bs=1M count=1024

1024+0 records out
real    0m 7.81s
user    0m 0.02s
sys     0m 2.33s

1024/7.81 means ~140 Mb/sec when data is being read from USB disk internally.

so, logical conclusion - samba is a bottleneck.

dadogroove · January 26, 2023, 6:17pm

Honestly, I haven't paid much attention to it. When I need to transfer large files it can take time but never seems too long. I did a test today watching the CPUs via htop while transferring and they stayed below 40% most of the time. Downloading via WiFi I got close to 60Mb/s and 45Mb/s up. I've never had issues streaming from the drive to a firestick or minidlna files to my stereo.

Looking for some help debugging why 2.4GHz 802.11bgn radio is missing in my RAC2V1K when running OpenWrt. I successfully flashed OpenWrt 22.03.03 on a few RAC2V1K machid=177d devices without issues, but for one of the devices, only the 5GHz 802.11nac radio0 is detected and the 2.4GHz 802.11bgn radio is missing. Is this a hardware issue or can this be fixed with firmware/software configuration? I tried power cycling and that didn't fix the issue. I tried removing and reseating the wireless card, but that didn't fix the issue. I tried setting the country, but wasn't able to as the 2.4GHz 802.11bgn radio was not detected.

I've not run into this issue on the two I have. It certainly sounds like a hardware issue to me. You can probably find it with search - I do recall another user relating that they discovered a chip had come loose on the board of their RAC2V1K and they were able to re-solder it, so you could open up the case and see what you can see?

Considering most of these units have had prior lives as cable company rentals, I can imagine they have not had easy lives. Falling off shelves, bangs, knocks, etc. Comes with the territory when a unit is rented and the renter knows it will be immediately replaced at no charge if it "breaks."

lmore377 · February 3, 2023, 10:20pm

Try interrupting uboot and run wifi_detect (if it can't find the command just do help and run the one with a similar name). If it fails and the light on the router turns red it means the 2.4ghz portion of the wifi card has a hardware problem. Since the card is made specifically for the router and replacements aren't available you'll just need to replace the entire router pretty much.

jturn08 · February 4, 2023, 3:24am

Tried interrupting uboot and running wifi_detect, got WiFi detect OK message which was misleading because 802.11bgn radio is still missing in my RAC2V1K when running OpenWrt

Next, I will try removing the heatsink from the radio circuit board next and see if I find any loose chips.

I'm trying to understand where to replace this "0x1A000000 " with this" 0xDC00000"in the command quoted below from the wiki page.

set bootcmd 'set mtdids nand0=nand0; set mtdparts mtdparts=nand0:416M@0x2400000(mtd_ubi); ubi part mtd_ubi && ubi read 0x44000000 kernel && bootm; set mtdparts mtdparts=nand0:220M@0x2400000(mtd_ubi); ubi part mtd_ubi && ubi read 0x44000000 kernel && bootm'
set bootdelay 2
saveenv

I have read the entire form posts and will do what it takes for success.
I have device 177e the Rev 9.3 After the initial intramfs flash I logged into luci and flashed the upgrade. Rebooted into current prompt below with errors.

eginnc · February 17, 2023, 1:46pm

It looks like there is now a new "Method 2" here since I flashed my RAC2V1K's and that the new method does not require different commands for hardware versions with different flash sizes any longer. I do recall reading some discussion on this.

The original commit instructions show where "0x1A000000" was used and there is probably more than one post in this thread using the old method describing the switch.

As to which method to follow? You may want to wait and see if a more knowledgeable member than me can add to this.

I have only a 66% success rate (2 out of 3) flashing these myself. A really bad pin soldering job caused more problems than I wanted to try to fix on the unsuccessful attempt, so technically not a flashing problem. Still, as you know, these have great hardware and are available used cheap, but they are not the most flash friendly choice.

elimskrad · February 17, 2023, 3:53pm

I tried again and got the intramfs to flash. repeated the sysupgrade through luci. Success! Thanks so much and all who contributed to give such a gem!

youngt2 · February 20, 2023, 4:07am

I'm having trouble booting back into my router. I had flashed OpenWRT and went to do an upgrade the other day and seem to have broke something. I'm able to see the router booting through serial, but I cannot interrupt with the keyboard. Output of serial console. I'm hoping I just have a wrong setting and its not something worse.

Any clues to what I might be missing?
