Yep, I still use two of these as my sole access points. They work well enough for my needs.
is it a DFS channel in your configured region? DFS handling is broken.
Hi, hoping someone here can help me with this issue. Long story short, the June Divested-build works fine. When upgrading to any build newer than that I get the issue described in the post under. Clients can nslookup google.com and 1.1.1.1 successfully, but ping 1.1.1.1 or google.com give a request timed out.
Thanks and sorry for the noise.
I found you have compiled Kernel 6.12.49, but when I compiled, it still keep 6.12.47.
The 2nd trouble is that after I compiled under debian, the advanced-reboot, cannot change to another partition, and cannot apk add someApp, and apk update/upgrade work, but no list from internet. Thank you for fixing these tiny but strange trouble.
I should use your compiled firmware for WRT1900ACS v1, but your size cannot let dnscrypt-proxy2 works because no more size to save /usr/sbin, so I have to remove everything which is not focusing wrt1900acs model. yes, that is the reason.
What is the size of your sysupgrade.bin from your buildroot? Did you add the patch for Kernel 6.12.49? Maybe your resulting build is too large?
Dnscrypt-proxy2 can easily fit in the pre-compiled Divested core build sysupgrade.bin. If you are running low on space, you can always use extroot.
use extroot is not good for me, bcz USB-SSD is very hot after using. and I dislike this way because of easy touch by accident.
and 1st compile for latest 6.12.49:
after git pull, then ./scripts/feeds update -a ./scripts/feeds install -a,
debian@debian13:~/snapshot/openwrt$ git am patches/20162.patch
fatal: previous rebase directory .git/rebase-apply still exists but mbox given.
debian@debian13:~/snapshot/openwrt$ make nconfig
Sorry, I did not know your steps in detail.
What I have is still 6.12.47
| divested-wrt-snapshot-r31179+10-b4a528ecba-mvebu-cortexa9-linksys_wrt1900acs-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin |
|---|
is 17MB which install dnscrypt-proxy2 is impossible.
I prefer to compile small size, bcz after dp2 using, I donot need dnsmasq-full. Thank you.
should I overwrite all contents from unziped linux-6.12.49.tar.xz to home/snapshot/openwrt/target/linux ? then git am some patches ?
Thatâs a question for @anon80358587 . The patch for 6.12.49 failed, so you are still compiling against 16.12.47.
I suspect itâs a result of an incomplete rebase. Try running git status to see if it indicates that a rebase is in progress, you may need to either complete or abort it.
To abort use git rebase --abort. To continue a failed rebase use git rebase --continue
Now see if the 6.12.49 patch succeeds.
Before running a new build be sure to issue a git pull --rebase=true

Sorry for my very late reply⊠Iâm in Eastern Europe at the moment, and tried channel 36 (which apparently is the only channel in this region not subjected to DFS requirements per this link). I keep getting fluctuations in the PHY rate between 866Mbit/s (VHT-MCS 9) all the way down to 468Mbit/s (VHT-MCS 5). Iâm fortunate to have a symmetric 500Mbit/s connection and these variations donât bother me much in everyday browsing responsiveness, but Iâd like to know if anyone else is seeing this
TIA
is that on the supplicant itself eg. via wavemon?
because the value shown on the router itself (eg. via luci) will go up and down as supplicant activity varies.
Values that vary are the ones shown in the Network - Wireless - Associated Stations section. I donât know what the supplicant does, are you saying this might be normal behaviour? Would you mind pointing to a more detailed description of what I should be looking for?
Many thanks,
@anon80358587 I found your builds recently. They seem really solid. Kudos!
I have one question I am hoping you can help: I cannot seem to be able to mount usb storage. Block-mount fails with error 127. Am I missing something or the builds are not designed to work with external usb storage?
Thanks in advance.
I noticed this same issue with wrt1900ac v1 (mamba). The root partition for Divested-WRT is only ~15MiB!
Meanwhile, vanilla OpenWrt for the same target has ~24.4MiB. I had to switch back because 15MiB was not enough to install many packages.

Hi,
I have a Linksys WRT32X router with the Divested build installed (version from divested.dev/unofficial-openwrt-builds/mvebu-linksys/20251024-00/).
Problem:
The router is connected to my laptop via Ethernet cable (for management). I'm trying to configure the router in WiFi STA (client) mode to connect to another router that has internet access. The WiFi connection is established correctly â the router connects to the main router's network and receives an IP address.
However, the problem occurs when I try to open any website from my laptop through the router (e.g., google.com). The router freezes, the LuCI web interface becomes unresponsive, and a forced restart is the only solution.
Details:
- Router model: Linksys WRT32X
- OpenWRT version: snapshot (Divested build from 24.10.2025)
- WiFi connection type: 2.4GHz / 5GHz (tested both)
- DHCP on LAN: disabled (router gets IP from main router)
- WAN (WiFi STA): enabled, connected
Questions:
Is this a known issue in OpenWRT snapshot, 24.10 and 23.05 on mvebu? Does the Divested build include fixes for this type of freezing? Should I downgrade to version 22.xx, or is there another solution?
Thank you for your help!
Additional Information - Comparison with MT76 Driver Issues:
I noticed that the MT76 driver https://github.com/openwrt/mt76 (MediaTek WiFi chipset driver for OpenWrt) had very similar stability issues in the past, particularly with data transmission problems when switching between different network configurations. The MT76 project maintained detailed issue tracking and eventually resolved all the critical bugs through continuous development and community testing.
What I'm experiencing with the WRT32X in STA mode seems related to similar data transmission issues â specifically when the router switches between Ethernet (LAN interface) and WiFi client (STA) connections after IP configuration changes (e.g., from 192.168.1.0/24 to 192.168.2.0/24 or receiving DHCP from the upstream router).
The problem appears to manifest as:
Data stalling between the Ethernet LAN port and the WiFi STA interface
Kernel/driver-level packet loss or routing table corruption
Complete system freeze requiring hard restart
The MT76 project successfully resolved similar issues through targeted driver patches and kernel backport fixes. It seems the Marvell wireless drivers used by the WRT32X (mwlwifi on mvebu) might need similar attention and debugging.
Is there any OpenWRT version (stable, snapshot, or custom build) that works reliably on WRT32X with WiFi client mode enabled?
Iâm a former Divested user on a WRT3200, which is now relegated to backup router duty using stock openwrt. I just updated it to 24.10.4, reset to defaults, and connected the 2.4g wifi to my home system wifi. No issues getting to external sites via ethernet or the 5g wifi. I changed nothing in the config except scanning and connecting the 2.4g as wlan, then configuring the 5g for access. Cheers. lasker
Hey Lasker,
In my case the router stops working as soon as I change its address after connecting as a WiFi client. For example, if I set it to 192.168.2.1/24, the web interface at 192.168.2.1 fails to load any data, even though SSH access to the router still works.
Have you seen something similar on your setup?
