Hi all !
I noticed that package procd-ujail is missing, I don’t know if it should be like this or not
https://firmware-selector.openwrt.org/?version=24.10.0-rc2&target=ramips%2Fmt76x8&id=tplink_archer-c20-v5
Connected to the Internet via wwan, IP address does not arrive, that is, there is a connection via WiFi, but IP does not arrive.
zram-swap doesn't work and this package is very important to me
technically, the 8/64 devices were dropped in 24.10, you should probably stay on 23.05.
It could be one of bad switches that do not isolate ports at boot, so your first wired client gets public IP from DHCP and OpenWRT cannot acquire address either due to rate limit or due to CPE-hosted DHCP not giving 2 IP addresses.
8/64 is made to work on 24.10 by dropping many features, like swap (8KB RAM) not permitting zram-swap (approx 15KB flash and 15KB ram)
Try to get over it, or build your own version of kernel, may turn out zram-swap xor luci xor wireguard.

So what is the point of this update then? To get rid of old devices, so that everyone runs for new routers, to support the Chinese economy?
24.10 is too big for a 8mb flash device.
by default 6 mb
So maybe need to install a package additionally, if so, which?
Own soon, they will begin to write here for the forum 2 million people from Brazil, 20 million from India and a million from Mexico))
24.10 sustains most 8/64 devices, i'd speculate next release will sustain 16/64 with zram-swap. 8MB device does not have that spare flash block for compression module.

you're not getting the full 8mb though, space is lost to u-boot, u-boot env, ART data, etc ... do a cat /proc/mtd.
that is, routers with 8 MB flash are all done, can they be thrown away?
I only have 4 routers
I'm telling that openwrt has gone bad, in collusion with China, to promote their routers)
read what @brada4 posted.
that's your choice, you could also stay on 23.05.
are you saying your C20 v5 wasn't made in China ?
it is made in China, and now I need to buy 4 new Chinese routers, then we will raise China, since that is the case
You base your barrage on false premise that 8/64 are no longer supported. They have 2 more years to go without e.g. getting MPTCP addition.
What criticism? If it doesn't work, is it criticism?
Which part does not work?
The Internet doesn't work, so naturally I didn't check anything else.
but since zram-swap doesn't work, I don't want to check anything
zram-swap has no bearing with wan workings.
So what is logged when you restart non-working wan? Also check if any wired client has not stolen public address via dhcp.
zram-swap is very relevant, at least for me.
the internet via wwan doesn't work, I manually entered the IP, it still doesn't work, no errors.
I didn't check it via the wire, but I no longer have the desire to check it)
It's good that I had enough sense not to flash the main router, otherwise I would have flashed it))
At least they could have written that , 8 MB is all, more is not supported, perhaps after the firmware you will not have the Internet)
Some critical info is missing - did you do a fresh setup / upgrade / upgrade keeping conf over red alert? And it is not very considerate to test new pre-release on internet facing machine.
These old devices are fine to use as dump devices
like extending your Wi-Fi range as a dump access point
but like an old core 2 computers, no good for a main pc
it is still ok for a media player to connect to your TV
