Errors on installing "luci-app-sqm" on WS1208v1 Router

So I tried installing luci-app-sqm on my WS1208v1 Router by Huasifei. It is actually running ROOter AB21 (which I think is based on Openwrt21). I am also fairly new to the Openwrt environment so I dont really know the probable cause for this. I have an idea that I should update my kernel but I am not reallty sure if this is the right way. There are also no documentation that I can read on how to know if my particular router can run SQM so I kindly ask for your help and recommendations. Thank you

Here are the errors when installing the SQM.

kernel add-on packages need to exactly match the kernel, so you need to get the packages for SQM from the Rooter people.

you can't update kernel separately in OpenWrt.

got it. thank you!

Since you're running ROOter (which is a fork of OpenWrt and is not the same as official OpenWrt), you should ask your question in their support forums.

or...

Install the latest official version of OpenWrt for your device (23.05.0-RC2).
https://firmware-selector.openwrt.org/?version=23.05.0-rc2&target=ramips%2Fmt7621&id=huasifei_ws1208v2

sadly i cant register to whirlpool since no email was sent to me even though i tried resending / using other email. i was hoping that someone here might also know something bout this since its kind of related to openwrt but its okay really. will soon buy a router with official support from openwrt.

btw, not so sure if ws1208v2 url you provided is also applicable for my ws1208v1 but ill might as well check it. cheers and thanks!
