Hey all,
I have been holding off on upgrading since the release of 21.02 because I had compatibility issues when attempting to restore my config file. Had a recent power outage corrupt my firmware and thought it was a good a time as any to upgrade. I did a fresh factory image and attempted to restore my config. Here are my details:
Router: Linksys WRT-3200ACM
Firmware Pre Upgrade: 19.07.8
Firmware Post Upgrade: 23.05.3
Gateway 192.168.2.1
After restoring my config file I was greeted with a slew of problems.
First, the interfaces were linking to unknown adapters. I fixed this problem by setting the "WAN" interface from "eth 1.2" to "wan". (I could be wrong on this) Currently, my router is in a very crippled state, I can't ping or reach the internet when physically plugged into any port on the back of the unit.
Only thing that currently works is WiFi, and there also seems to be a DNS problem. The only way I can reach the WAN is by setting my NIC to a public DNS server such as 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8. I do have a PiHole on my network that I would like to use, it lives on 192.168.2.149.
I would also like to take advantage of OpenVPN / Wireguard as I had it working on my last build. I also need VPN and WAN Policy-Based Routing to take some of the devices on my network off the VPN. (Mostly the smart TVs as most streaming services cry about being behind a VPN.) Any help would be more than appreciated.
