Difficulty installing LuCI on AX23v1 w/ Snapshot

OpenWRT newbie here. I just picked up a couple of TP-link devices including this AX23 V1. I have the CA variant (located in Canada) and was able to flash with a snapshot from https://openwrt.org/toh/hwdata/tp-link/tp-link_ax23_v1. However I am not able to install LuCI since OPKG install keeps erroring out. I'll post the exact error message. I thought this would be fairly straightforward but it seems like some of the V1 region specific subvariants don't seem to have support.

That wouldn't be the case, if you managed to flash it.
The install issue isn't device specific, you should create a separate thread about it.

You forgot the error message. :wink:
With opkg update && opkg install luci-ssl you should be able to install LUCI.
But maybe you also have the SquashFS error. Please check the logs with dmesg and logread and see if you can find something with squashfs or jffs2. And please give us feedback.

I can't replicate the error message now, but when I tried installing luci a few days ago the error message was related to a file failing during install. I think it was failing on this file after it was fetched:
https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/packages/mipsel_24kc/packages/Packages.gz

In either case, I just tried again and it seems to be working and I've got LuCI up and running. I'll check the logs and look for any squashfs or jffs2 errors.

I am also getting SquashFS errors. AX23 v1, CA variant.
