Dynalink DL-WRX36 Askey RT5010W IPQ8072A technical discussion

I also ordered one and in the beginning I also had some issues to fully understand the wiki page, after reading it multiple times and comparing some of the sections it doesn't seem too complicated. The problem from my perspective is more that it shows multiple options without giving a beginner the simplest and savest approach first.

I'm going to use the bootloader commands that always try to boot via USB first, hopefully that should prevent me from using a serial console in case anything goes wrong.

From my perspective it could be much saver for beginners to follow the steps if someone would restructure it a bit but that are just my 2-cents.

Just read through the wiki and must admit it's confusing as written, just needs some cleanups, there is no simple "do steps 1-5". I'm tempted to buy a DL-WRX36 soon to tinker with it, can't believe the low price of this device for its ipq807x wifi 6 specs.

Definitely better, thank you.

I added a note about the ipq807x-generic → qualcommax-ipq807x rename and its implications.

@hnyman @frollic thanks for your efforts, looks good

2068

Good, forgot it completely.

Maybe make USB boot default after all?

Sure, just follow the wiki addendum.

I am on r23375-cdfcac6e24 and using AC8265, AX200 and AX210 and don't seem to be having any issues (running since yesterday).

What are the reported issues with Intel cards?

EDIT: After 9 days I had to reboot:

I mean why leave it in addendum instead of putting it directly into step 8 of 2nd part of installation manual?

I have one question about the install instructions. Early on we're told to upload that config file to the router, but I didn't see how we should do that.
I looked around the existing router GUI and found a place (under "system settings" or something like that) where you could upload config files. Is that what we should do? I truly didn't see another way.
Thanks!

That's the one ...

Dear Community,
Hello and I hope that all is well with all of you. I just bought the ‎DL-WRX36 and I pretty much have it figured out as to how to flash the device with OpenWRT.
I just have one simple question - regarding the installation instructions on the Wiki

1. Copy the initramfs image 
to a FAT-formatted flash drive

My question is do I format the USB to
fat or fat32 ?

Or does it matter - thanks that is all I need to know.

FAT VS. FAT32 is my inquiry

Thanks and Peace

2076

try both, and let us know, so we can update the wiki ...
but it probably doesn't matter.

2077

fat32 worked for me...

Both FAT and FAT32 worked for me.

2079

FAT16 only supports a maximum volume size of 4 GB, so if it requires a single partition on an USB stick with more than 4 GBs it will always be FAT32.

Thank you, but my issue differs slightly.

ipv6 over wifi doesn't work immediately after a reboot. I have to reboot multiple times (often upwards 10 or more times) to get it to finally work. Very silly. I'm wondering if it may be firmware related because before all the wireless updates, I remember it was working... but I cannot pinpoint exactly when. I may try rolling back to see if it resolves.

I can't imagine I'm the only person having this issue because it's so consistent.

On 2g and 5g or does the former work while the latter does not?
