I am confused.
I removed the lower number version and installed the one in your config but then wifi stopped working.
does that mean I dont need that package and should stay with my own configured package?
(I use imagebuilder with 1200ac profile and custom added and removed packages)
Normally I do:
# before sysupgrade
opkg list-installed | cut -f 1 -d ' ' > /etc/config/packages.list
-> flash firmware through LuCi
# after sysupgrade
opkg update
opkg install $(cat /etc/config/packages.list)
Has been working ever since...

Hey guys, I'm just wondering, is there anyone also experiencing opkg update kind of just hang when using the gui?
Are you experiencing the same thing in command line?

Good one, thanks!
How about uninstalling stuff that is included in David's built but not needed in my setup (e.g. Samba, USB mount)? Any idea on how to simplify update process, so that a) settings, b) installed and c) uninstalled packages are preserved between updates?
No, sir. I have not flashed the August build fyi. WRT1900AC
With the command line opkg update passes. The gui, the software screen just keeps loading and update gets stuck on executing. I'm just a gui kind of person.
I'm sorry I've not provided much detail. I was not thinking. This occurs after an initial setup and without changing around any settings. I'm assuming it's plug and play . And, if I am remembering correctly, this did not happen with builds previous to the second to last. Yes, the software screen did not always get stuck on loading.
What can I do? If anything to help. I guess I shall flash Augusts build and see if it is persistent for me.
I just installed your latest version on my WRT1200AC, but automount doesn't work on both USB ports with neither my HDD nor my USB flash drive. When I manually edit the config file I do get it to work.
@robocide Thanks for analysing. I can confirm that the following commands will help with loading pages, but it will not solve the issue. I do not understand what is causing the issue, is it also client related since only a few users experience it? Or ist it even hardware related (different hardware revisions, RAM/memory)?

This Luci hang issue occurs with all four devices on the latest builds. Coming from stock Linksys firmware, i tested all but only got the WRT32X left for testing.
Use the command shell and type in the following, this might help to get around the loading page issues:
uci set uhttpd.main.http_keepalive=0
uci commit
/etc/init.d/uhttpd restart
Much appreciated... Has anyone gone back to HTTP to see if the issue goes away?
I think the issue is dealing with a package supporting TLS. If we take TLS out of the equation the probably is probably solved.

I just tried the following but i think it did not solve the issue completely. Unfortunately this is hard to measure with my productive device. I will try it with another clean flash:
uhttpd config file has an option to automatically redirect to https if possible. That is on by default. Just set this to 0 in /etc/config/uhttpd to enable using http login again:
option redirect_https 1
I think the best idea would be another one liner like that:
opkg remove *samba* block-mount [...]
Just find all packages to remove using opkg list | grep <name>
A reboot is recommended after you complete all the commands
Change it over to http and see if that helps.
im am using your build but before intall i dount get wan ip no dhcp nothing i dount know wath to do i think is tha dns scryp procy thing
dnscrypt-proxy isn't related to the WAN interface receiving an IP via DHCP.
Who is your ISP? Also, please copy the system and kernel logs as there may be something logged there as an indication as to why it is having an issue.
Hello,
I am new to OpenWRT and I am about to flash my Linksys WRT32x but can anyone please tell me what the difference is, if any, between David's build and the build that is available on OpenWRT's website for this router?
I downloaded both of them but there is a difference in the size of the files. David's build is about 22MB while then image from OpenWRT is about 7.1MB.
Which one should I flash and what is the difference?
Thanks
In my point of view, David's build is more like the OpenWRT's official snapshots build, because it almost built from the latest mater branch of source codes. But the difference is that snapshots build may not be used/checked by others and it changed every day while lots of people use David's build and you may know if there're bugs from here.
And moreover, the official build only contains the most basic modules while David's build contains more modules for some advanced functions. So the size of David's build is larger than the official one.
So, it depends on your requirement. More stable for official one (stable release) and more functions/out-of-box for David's one.

Try the ones from david. You will never switch again, as david wrote they are more polished than the stock ones and include some useful applications (like adblock, etc.)
I feel the focus of these builds are for beginners to intermediate users as they provide some of the more popular applications

Thanks.
How do I go about installing David's build to give it a try if I have already flashed the official OpenWRT stable build?
I am using Linksys WRT32x which has a dual boot. I flashed the official OpenWRT from the stock web interface so now I have the option to boot into either one of them?
Do I just boot into the Linksys stock firmware and flash David's from there so that the current OpenWRT can get overwritten?
Also, since I have dual boot, how do i go about upgrading in the future whether its David's build or the official? Do I flash the *.bin file from the stock web interface?
Thanks
