Hello there Iceman. You can simply use the upgrade file, but then you lose the custom packages that you have installed. I would use the firmware selector website page. Expand the Customize installed packages and/or first boot script selection and add all the packages that you have installed. Other options are using OWUT (documentation in link). It is always good practice, from experience, to backup your device configuration using the Luci Interface.Hope that helps. Anyone please chip in if you felt there might be something else that might help @iceman2012.

The fix has been merged two weeks ago, so snapshots of 24.10 branch will be fine (but not release 24.10.0) .

I wanted to stay on the official release and not build my own, downloaded the firmware and flashed from Luci.
I have only a few packages installed so manually installed afterwards, then rebooted.
Once i'm a bit more comfortable i'll look into building my own firmware with all packages added.
Thanks Llethur, I bit the bullet and went ahead and updated the firmware to now 24.10. Went pretty fast and now everything is working as intended - except that the LED on the logo is now not lit. Any way to resolve this?
Hello Iceman. In the Luci interface there is an LED Configuration section (under the System tab) where you can play around with the LEDs and their default states. I tend not to use it, because I prefer the lights to be off.

I consider this a great improvement.
Finally, with ver. 24.10.0 the LED logo is completely turned off by default (thanks to the developer who made this change!)
Feel free to enable it if you need this extra illumination: Luci -> System -> LED Configuration

Awesome thanks all for the response. I thought it wasn't powered on without the light. So far this little beast is doing a good job. Very impressed with this device.
One thing that I noticed is that when I set my 5G wifi setting and pick my channel for region canada it DOES not stick anything above channel 157. For instance, if i want to go 161 or 165 - it then defaults back to 157 or even 149. Not sure why this is the case?
Most countries have regulatory limits on which channels you are allowed to use with personal Wi-Fi. Some might even prosecute you if you use those channels. It might be worthwhile checking which channels those might be in Canada.

If you can choose them, then you can use them. As long as the country selected is the correct one.

Hi everyone. I am struggling to get my internet speed up above 450 even though I am paying for 1gig using the SQM settings. I have installed irqbalance, software offloading - enabled and disabled, and have set my overhead to be 34 or 44. Furthermore, my connection is pppoe-wan which is the interface I am applying the SQM. I am also setting download and upload speed 90% less than what I am getting without the SQM as per the document but it seems nothing increases it. Anyone that uses pppoe and has 1gig fiber can provide any assistance? thank you kindly.
Pppoe is the main problem.
First try the speeds without SQM and See what You get.
Only then we can See if its something with the config or is it Just pppoe 
Hi Juniorek81. When I disable SQM, my speed test is approx 850 download and 920 upload so not sure what is the SQM that is limiting the speed. If I don't have the SQm my waveform bufferbloaf is B and if I enable it it is an A
SQM is computational heavy to run, and, although the processor for the device is a capable one, 500-600 Mbps with SQM enabled is around what I would expect. Remember SQM is really only useful when bandwidth is saturated because that is when buffer bloat is likely to affect you. On a 1 Gbps line like yours, it is unlikely to happen. I have, for example, a 500Mbps line with ~20 connected devices and even then the bandwidth doesn't get fully used.

Hi, have you enabled the Packet Steering option?
You can find here: https://[router-ip]/cgi-bin/luci/admin/network/network
This option helped a lot to speed-up my connection.
Hi are there any TRX images for a snapshot that is safe for first install?
Hi, I was following the steps and installed this openwrt-mediatek-filogic-asus_tuf-ax6000-squashfs-sysupgrade, I can't login to the router and only one led working what should I do ?
I don't suppose anyone has a clever way of unlocking myself out of the router? I accidentally changed the firewall to drop packets on the wrong interface.
I've always had problems putting this router into failsafe mode - I can get a flashing red LED, but can't ssh or webpage into it (I can ping 192.168.1.1)
OK - I figured 'failsafe' mode - I'll post here to remind myself and help others.
The usual boot sequence of my router goes in terms of the cover LED is : Blue > orange flash > Red > Off (I have configured off).
If I hold reset and put power on. I get flashing red....I can ping but not SSH - This doesn't help. I don't think this is failsafe
To be able to SSH (192.168.1.1) - Connect power...Blue LED > When it turns flashing orange > Hold reset....The LED will then flash yellow ....Then off. You should now be in failsafe mode. 192.168.1.1. Use one of the 4 middle LAN ports
Hello! I am having trouble after a system upgrade.
I recently updated from version 23.05 to 24.10.
This required me to reinstall LUCI, which I did without too much trouble by following the guide here:
I did all the steps with apk, and LUCI was then working fine, and was able to reach the webinterface at 192.168.1.1
However I also wanted to adapt alternative ports to connect to LUCI with http and https so I followed the step number 5 and launched the following commands:
uci -q delete uhttpd.main.listen_http
uci add_list uhttpd.main.listen_http="0.0.0.0:8080"
uci add_list uhttpd.main.listen_http="[::]:8080"
uci -q delete uhttpd.main.listen_https
uci add_list uhttpd.main.listen_https="0.0.0.0:8443"
uci add_list uhttpd.main.listen_https="[::]:8443"
uci commit uhttpd
/etc/init.d/uhttpd restart
Now however the LUCI GUI is not working again, and I can't reach the web interface at 192.168.1.1
There is a way to revert these changes, or maybe I need to reach the web interface in a different way now?
Oh what a dummy am I, just had to specify the port directly in the address. Solved
