Can't opkg update on 23.05.0 at Xiaomi Redmi Router AX6S

Installing and Using OpenWrt

I've tried updating from the console and from the visual interface. I get the following output from both:

root@OpenWrt:~# opkg update

If I open the link to the package list in my browser, it downloads to my computer with no problem.

start by checking the time and date on the router, is it correct.

Yes it's correct

can you wget the files manually ?

I'd upgrade to 23.05.5 - https://firmware-selector.openwrt.org/?version=23.05.5&target=mediatek%2Fmt7622&id=xiaomi_redmi-router-ax6s

I'm not very good at cli, if just write it that way, I get it:

root@OpenWrt:~# wget https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/23.05.0/targets/mediatek/mt7622/packages/Packages.gz
https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/23.05.0/targets/mediatek/mt7622/packages/Packages.gz: HTTPS support not compiled in.

Upgrading to 23.05.5 was my first thought. But I was afraid to brick the device when I read that there might be problems with that when upgrading.

don't own the device, but you can't stay on 23.05.0 forever.

is this a custom build ? please post the output of ubus call system board.

edit /etc/opkg/distfeeds.conf and remove the S from the https in the URLs listed.

No it's not custom.

root@OpenWrt:~# ubus call system board
{
        "kernel": "5.15.134",
        "hostname": "OpenWrt",
        "system": "ARMv8 Processor rev 4",
        "model": "Xiaomi Redmi Router AX6S",
        "board_name": "xiaomi,redmi-router-ax6s",
        "rootfs_type": "squashfs",
        "release": {
                "distribution": "OpenWrt",
                "version": "23.05.0",
                "revision": "r23497-6637af95aa",
                "target": "mediatek/mt7622",
                "description": "OpenWrt 23.05.0 r23497-6637af95aa"
        }
}

After that, it worked. Why didn't it work with https? As far as I remember, I didn't interfere with these settings after flashing on openwrt.

Thank you very much, frollic!
