It says it's partially supported, but it's completely unsupported. Works great otherwise. I download torrents with rtorrent on terminal. I tried transmission GUI, but the router just broke. So I reset it back. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
Addition 1: By the way I tried to install tranmission again, without touching config at all like in the wiki. Last time I did what wiki said and things broke. This time I only changed where it downloads stuff. It supposedly works, but the GUI breaks every few minutes. I even tried transmission remote thing, same story.
Also a side note, very easy to transition to DD WRT and back from DD WRT to OpenWRT again. Just flash it. But, I couldn't make DD WRT work because of VLAN ID 35 thing.
A link to this warning appears on your device's Wiki page.
- If you say it doesn't work, that sounds like a config known not to work
- To be clear, all modern WiFi (e.g. N/AC/AX) is unsupported
- Is this related to WiFi (e.g. wireless crashing while running Transmission) - or are you merely noting another issue?
- For an 8+ year old device with a 600 MHz processor in 2023, I'm not surprised a CLI app worked and a web GUI app didn't - I surmise the router crashed, correct?

It has 800MHz CPU actually, not 600. It's much better than the TP-LINK Archer C50 and kind, they are worse actually. Most of them are 128 MB flash only. And good router brands don't ship to my country.

Anyway rtorrent CLI is more than enough for me, it's flawless. It works stable.

If it happens again, post/screenshot any error messages.
It says connection refused after a little while using transmission-gui desktop app. From the browser, it says this:
Connection Failed
Could not connect to the server. You may need to reload the page to reconnect.
When I click on details, it says server not responding? Also, it's much slower download speed compared to rtorrent CLI. I must add I use USB2.0 port of it, also external box that uses modem's own power, not external power. By the way USB3.0 doesn't work for me. I tried USB3.0 flash disk too, still not working. Not sure but maybe hardware problem?
Edit: I tried one more time, this time it has not stopped yet. Btw, do you think browser version or desktop transgui is better?
