Can't opkg update after install / Connectivity issues

dvilela · December 8, 2020, 11:07am

I've just installed the OpenWrt/06-06-2020 snapshot from OpenWRTInvasion in a Xiaomi Router 4A Gigabit edition. Since there is no stable release, I had to use the snapshot. The installation seems to complete OK, and I connected the Xiaomi router to my Asus main router (running AdvancedTomato), but I can only SSH into the Xiaomi router directly through a cable, not through other computers on the network. Also, once I've ssh'd into it , I can ping, for example, 8.8.8.8, but I can't use opkg to update or to install luci. I get these errors:

Downloading http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/targets/ramips/mt7621/packages/Packages.gz
Failed to establish connection
*** Failed to download the package list from http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/targets/ramips/mt7621/packages/Packages.gz

Note: I had to uci set network.wan.dns="1.1.1.1" to be able to have connectivity. For some reason the Xiaomi router didn't get the dns from the main router. And, despite having Internet connection on the laptop connected to the Xiaomi, I can't update/install luci on the Xiaomi from ssh. Also, wget works only sometimes, which is weird.

It seems some network configuration problem. Any ideas?

That was really helpful, thank you so much. What was the exact problem? Does that command set the subnet ip? Now opkg update works, but opkg install luci yields:

root@OpenWrt:~# opkg install luci
Installing luci (git-20.074.84698-ead5e81) to root...
Downloading http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/packages/mipsel_24kc/luci/luci_git-20.074.84698-ead5e81_all.ipk
Collected errors:

 * 	kernel (= 5.4.81-1-d6569c402c086a58a5ff4ed4d48c8727)
 * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package luci.

I guessed I had to upgrade, so tried opkg upgrade to find there's no such option. Searching on stackoverflow found:

opkg list-upgradable | cut -f 1 -d ' ' | xargs opkg upgrade

But that gave a lot of errors while upgrading:

LAN and WAN should use different subnets:

Ok, so first of all I would like to try the latest snaphsot available just in case that helps with the upgrade and luci installation. I've carefully checked that my model says "model R4A" in its sticker and Gigabit 4A in the box, and comparing all available, very similar models, I downloaded the sysupgrade image from here ( Xiaomi Mi Router 4A Gigabit Edition (4A Gigabit / R3Gv2)). When I try to flash it I get:

Device xiaomi,mir3g-v2 not supported by this image
Supported devices: xiaomi,mir3g-v2 - Image version mismatch: image 1.1, device 1.0. Please wipe config during upgrade (force required) or reinstall. Reason: Config cannot be migrated from swconfig to DSA

But that web states clearly 4A Gigabit / R3Gv2. So that one should be the right image, right? I also followed the instructions on OpenWRTInvasion to build an image for this model using the last source, but the built image yields the same message. What am I missing?

trendy · December 8, 2020, 2:16pm

From the device page:

The hardware is identical to the OpenWrt Xiaomi R3G v2. But.!! different bootloader, don't use 4A-Giga firmware on R3Gv2

What does ubus call system board say?

dvilela · December 8, 2020, 2:25pm

Yes, I read that, but then on the description of that link:

Warning: Not to be confused with the similarly looking (and identically named) R3Gv2 which lacks USB, has just 16MiB SPI flash, 128MiB RAM. The R3Gv2 is now widely sold as the Xiaomi 4A Gigabit edition and offered with Chinese or Global (English) firmware. OpenWrt support was added in October 2019.

Mine is the one that lacks USB, but that last link links back to the 4A Gigabit website. The results:

Evidently you have the r3g-v2.
Can you verify the flash and ram size? free; df -h

dvilela · December 8, 2020, 3:11pm

It seems so, but that is the image that was giving errors. And, also, 128 Mb of ram.

And the weirdness of the version mismatch:

Device xiaomi,mir3g-v2 not supported by this image
Supported devices: xiaomi,mir3g-v2

It's the same! Why it says not supported then?

dvilela · December 9, 2020, 12:18pm

Ok, so these are the different, but similar models:

R 4A Gigabit edition: supported
R 3G v2, usually sold as R 4A Gigabit edition (mine). Same hardware, different bootloader: not yet supported?
R 3G v1: more powerful, supported.

From the OpenWRT R3G site:

The R3Gv2 is now widely sold as the Xiaomi 4A Gigabit edition and offered with Chinese or Global (English) firmware. OpenWrt support was added in October 2019.

But the table with the available snapshots is empty for R3Gv2. So I don't get if it is supported or not.

trendy · December 9, 2020, 12:56pm

There is a snapshot image in the page however read carefully the warnings and the procedure if you decide to try it.

dvilela · December 9, 2020, 1:14pm

That is the firmware that is yielding the message:

Device xiaomi,mir3g-v2 not supported by this image
Supported devices: xiaomi,mir3g-v2 - Image version mismatch: image 1.1, device 1.0. Please wipe config during upgrade (force required) or reinstall. Reason: Config cannot be migrated from swconfig to DSA

Is there something I'm missing?

Edit: some guys have told me here that the wiki links are not working, and that I should use this image with the force flag. I'm going to try.

trendy · December 9, 2020, 1:18pm

Most likely not, it seems already a troublesome router. Maybe a search for similar topics in the forum will provide you some help.

trendy · December 9, 2020, 1:31pm

Maybe this topic will give you some hints.

dvilela · December 9, 2020, 1:33pm

Yes, that's the link I posted in the edit to my last message. I can confirm the link they provided me with there works.

trendy · December 9, 2020, 1:34pm

Aha, I didn't click it. So best of luck with your router!
