@daniel

L'erreur que vous voyez dans les auc indices indiquant que le serveur est dans un état incohérent. Les listes de packages n'ont probablement pas encore été mises à jour, mais elles utilisent déjà un ImageBuilder nouvellement construit avec mis à jour base-files . Attendez juste quelques minutes (ou heures), il devrait se réparer à l'extrémité distante (@aparcar pourrait améliorer cette situation d'incohérence, cela arrive assez souvent)

ok i will stay thanks

[hieple]

Hi everyone, I've just installed the UBI 0.6.0 from daniel's github and everything is working fine. Is there any reason to update to the latest snapshot?
I also saw the attended sysupgrade in luci, if I update using this do I need to start from scratch and install luci again(since snapshot doesn't have luci preinstalled) or it will keep all my installed software/packages?
Thanks so much!

[anon78773196]

hello you can use auc for upgrade and add every package than you want

with 0.6.0 you are not possibility to install the new packages ...

[hieple]

Thank you for the info, do you know why 0.6.0 can't install the new packages?

[anon78773196]

yes because the kernel is old

[hieple]

Got it, thanks so much!

[daniel]

If you use the attended sysupgrade feature in luci you receive a build which includes all your installed packages. Also, sysupgrade itself will make sure your configuration is kept.

First, great work with progress on this device.
I am fairly new to this device, but have some experience with linux/networking.

So, now my problem, concern...

For some reason 5GHz AX wireless just stops working. Clients are still connected, but traffic does not go anywhere, cant even ping router, then after few minutes, everything comes back. I did not see anything specific in logs, kernel only states wifi1 down wifi1 up and stuff like that. In that time when it does not work, 2Ghz and eth ports work fine...

I would appreciate if you could give me some pointers what to try? I have latest snapshot installed via attended-sysupgrade

Sorry if this is already answered, but I could not find it as this thread is rather long...

[daniel]

The problem you describe sounds like hostapd crashing and getting restarted.
Please observe if the PID of hostapd changes when ever you observe the interface going down and up again. If so, running hostapd with gdb can most likely tell us what's going on.

[hrvoje555]

I did update to todays snapshoot and for now it is stable for more than 5h. Will see how it will behave further through the day.

Something happened with my RT3200 running Openwrt Snapshot. The wifi connection is flapping and neither ethernet get an ip address nor I can reach the RT3200 through ethernet or through wifi. When I connect to ethernet the port on the roouter blinks but I cannot connect to the router. Is it possible to enter recovery mode manually?

TIA

Please ignore, it was my vpn which was causing the issue, when the VPN was disconnected I was able to connect to the RT3200 router.

[hrvoje555]

So, it was almost 1d ok, then today started acting weird again. Only 5GHz wifi...
I even changed channel to lower ones that does not depend on "radar detection"

Also, channels above 120 does not work at all, any of my 5GHz device does not see router, even wifi6 phone that supports those upper channels.

[victori]

Installed it last night, bumped it up to the latest snapshot, things seem to be working okay but 5G is fairly low range. That said it also seems that wifi in general 2.4/5Ghz seems to be spotty with hiccups, so not exactly 100% ideal for low latency wifi. Hoping it will improve over time, really like this router and the openwrt setup compared to the vendor firmware.

[hieple]

Same with me, I was with stock firmware for 6 months before switching to openwrt, the stock firmware has better signal/coverage, I'm in the US and I'm using country code US in openwrt.

[anon78773196]

share your settings wireless i'm settings like this
N auto 40mhz
country france

AX auto 80 mhz
country france

[hieple]

Mine is
N channel 4 20mhz country US
AX channel 149 80mhz country US

This is the same setting as when I was using stock firmware.

[anon78773196]

try auto 40 like me and tell me if is better

[hieple]

Yep, I also tried auto and 40mhz on 2.4ghz. Actually 2.4ghz is ok/not noticeable. 5ghz is noticeable, I'm on my bed playing with my phone and the signal is worse than when I was using stock

I just bought the Belkin model (still unopened). I'm a little confused about the purpose of Daniel's installer. I think that it's only necessary if you like running a bleeding edge snapshot. Is that right? Looking at his README, he tells you to use the factory firmware to flash a non UBI version of OpenWRT, then use that version of OpenWRT to install the UBI version of OpenWRT. That's two flashes so far. I think at that point, if you're happy running stable versions, then you don't need Daniel's installer. His installer basically packages up the latest snapshot, and makes it easy to install. In otherwords, if you don't want to run bleeding edge, then you can skip his installer altogether and you'll have UBI, won't have ECC problems, etc. Is that right?
