How to upgrade from incompatable earlier version

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

I have a Linksys WRT 1900 but not used it for some time. The last firmware I installed was 18.06.1. I now want to use it again but the latest versions are incompatible. What is the best way to install later firmware I do not want to keep the existing configuration

18 <> 19 <> 22

I don't understand your reply

  1. Install 19
  2. Install 22

Sorry it was a bit cryptic for me. I had thought of that and downloaded 19 already but thought I had better ask first

Thanks

Be aware that this device is currently broken on 22.03 running kernel 5.10 and support disabled for those broken devices in 22.03 release. 21.02 release is not affected.

Depending on your use case, you might want to consider:

  • Using 21.02.5 (previous stable release)
  • Waiting for the next release cycle where the bug doesn’t exist.
  • Running Master Snapshot
  • and of course you could still use 22.03 as you see fit.
