Asus TUF Gaming AX6000 support

fitblk is not needed and also not available on 23.05.x release. It is only part of snapshot images right now and will be used in future releases.

@patrakov and @whitedd is this problem already solved or do you still need disable or turning off offloads?

patrakov · April 15, 2024, 5:19am

I am not aware of any fix. However, I do not have the device either, so I might have missed it. Anyway, this packet corruption is exactly why I decided not to buy this router.

Hi!
I have installed OpenWrt 23.05.3 using the "unofficial method" and now want to go back to the stock firmware. But with both methods — by installing facinstall_1.8-20240317_all + sysupgrade from LuCI and by using ASUS Firmware Restoration 2.1.0.3 — the router still boots into OpenWrt 23.05.3 after seemingly successful flashing. With both methods I use TUF-AX6000_3.0.0.4_388_33147-gcfe5007.trx firmware file from ASUS site.
Please help me figure out what needs to be done to return to the stock firmware

Please see Asus TUF Gaming AX6000 support - #677 by feneri25

Thank you, I already tried the recovery using the method https://www.asus.com/support/faq/1000814/ with ASUS Firmware Restoration utility, but after the firmware update is complete, the router still boots into OpenWrt. I guess this problem is related to dual firmware of the router

It is very strange.

To do this, you must first delete all non-standard volumes from UBI_DEV:

randrew943 · April 17, 2024, 11:42am

Thank you, sir! Deletion of non-standard volumes from UBI_DEV and installation of the stock firmware via ASUS Firmware Restoration led to the desired result.

hello @remittor ,

I tried to install openwrt to tuf-ax6000, but I got a situation

I installed your provided initramfs. openwrt showed up. After upgrading with this file https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/targets/mediatek/filogic/openwrt-mediatek-filogic-asus_tuf-ax6000-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin , pc doesn't get an auto ip. The power light is on and LAN light is flashing. I tried to set 192.168.1.10/255.255.255.0/192.168.1.0 but there isn't any response.

What can I do?

Thank you.

Edit:
I finally get it done by connecting on the serial. everything is fine now. ty

Hello.
I have recently had this router.
The problem is with Switch and ports from Lan 1 to 4.

In Lucia, LAN numbering is bad. Luci lan1 = asus lan4, luci lan2 = asus lan3, luci lan3 = asus lan2, luci lan4 = asus lan1
LAN ports work in pairs for me. I don't know how to change it.
LAN1 and LAN4 as well as LAN2 and LAN3. The symptom is that if I have the devices connected to LAN1 and LAN4, it is good. All you need to do is disconnect one device, the second port stops moving traffic. The physical layer works well because the diodes work but the device does not break. The same applies to LAN2 and LAN3.
OpenWRT Snapshot R26015-360AC07EB9 / LUCI MASTER 24.110.61618 ~ 49A0A91
Kernel 6.1.86
Greetings.

Hello,

I'm new to OpenWRT and I've stumbled upon a small issue. I successfully flashed OpenWrt using @remittor trx method and his 23.05.3 sysupgrade. Everything works perfectly except I can't do opkg update or opkg install and neither can I ping the outside (LAN seems to work) anything from the router. I do have internet, however.

I'm getting this error in LuCi: error code 255. Please advice.

Collected errors: * opkg_c conf load: Could not lock /var/lock/ .. opkg lock: Resource temporarily unavailable.

deeddy · April 26, 2024, 11:20am

When you log in to ssh, can you ping anything on the internet? If yes, then opkg is supposed to be working.

deeddy · April 26, 2024, 11:26am

How about moving to stable release 23.05.3 instead? I already noticed and reported some issues with snapshots (there was a really long discussion about it in TUF AX4200 thread), so you might want to try stable build instead?

zerakov · April 26, 2024, 11:40am

I thought it already was the stable release that was put up? I've 23.05.3 240325 / LuCI openwrt-23.05 branch git-23.118.79121-6fb1 85f. Isn't that it?

As for your question before. I can't seem to ping the internet. It says network unreachable. Any ideas?

Another question then. Where can I get the stable release for this router and how can I check/import current user installed packages to the new install?

Juniorek81 · April 27, 2024, 8:50am

Firstly
Post your network config
Without it, we can't say what's wrong

Second
You can't import Your packages to new build, even when You do sysupgrade
You have to install them manually

What do you mean? I recently posted an easy method to reinstall old packages after sysupgrade.

Attended Sysupgrade is another way to do it, but since more than a few times people reported issues with it, I wouldn’t recommend using it.

Gingernut · April 28, 2024, 6:41am

It looks like the switch port node reg properties are wrong in the .dts. I think they should match the node name i.e port@1 reg =<1>.

&switch {
	ports {
		#address-cells = <1>;
		#size-cells = <0>;

		port@1 {
			reg = <4>;
			label = "lan1";
			phy-handle = <&swphy1>;
		};

		port@2 {
			reg = <3>;
			label = "lan2";
			phy-handle = <&swphy2>;
		};

		port@3 {
			reg = <2>;
			label = "lan3";
			phy-handle = <&swphy3>;
		};

		port@4 {
			reg = <1>;
			label = "lan4";
			phy-handle = <&swphy4>;
		};

Thanks for the help.
At the moment, however, I uploaded the stable version. This LAN exchange is a small problem in pursuing that they work only a couple.

Stephane1 · April 28, 2024, 9:35am

I installed a new asus ax6000 yesterday and migrated all my configuration from my old router.
Thank to the detailed explanations of @linuxuser (screenshot etc...).
At the end of the day, the wan interface suddenly stopped. No more internet.
I restart the interface nothing, wait ... restart... wait etc... nothing. Imposible to get the wan interface up. So I rebooted to solve the problem.
I've set the log output level to Debug. That way, the next time it happens, I'll provide the information.
I hope this won't happen again because I've got used to booting my router only for version changes (every 3 or 4 months).
