Latest trunk build for EA8500 doesn't boot for me even after erasing settings...

@logon84 Does the Linksys logo light up? I had an issue with an older version due to a change in switch config, Linksys logo did it's normal flash while booting then solid. Couldn't get an IP address from the router, and couldn't access it if I set a static IP.
Same here. Linksys logo starts flashing during boot, then stays solid. But no response pinging 192.168.1.1

Most likely it's the same issue I had. @KONG when you get a chance can you check the switch config for the ea8500? Thanks
I might be able to test PPPoE offload on the nss build after the holidays, should have some free time.
Done. Fixed ea8500 builds are up.

Hi, I'm trying to configure for the first time an external nfs share in openwrt, but I get "No such device" when running:
mount -t nfs 192.168.1.3:/nfs /mnt/nas -o nolock
I read that the kernel needs to be built with nfs mount capabilities (BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_MOUNT_NFS [=n] ). Is that the reason I am getting that error?
And about c2600 tp link.
I observe some random reboots on my c2600 with the last 5.10 build..
Unfortunately I don't have a C2600. Can you provide a crash log from serial or maybe syslog.

I would have kernel log or syslog?
Hey @KONG!
Absolutely love your builds but I have a problem with desipro.de. I am getting this error everytime I try to access any adress regardless of device and browser.
"Forbidden
You don't have permission to access this resource.
Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request."
But when I use Tor it works. It seems my IP or something got blacklisted? I don't have problem to use Tor now and then for a new image but it's inconvenient that I can't use the package-repo. Is there a way to fix that?
Best regards
Skim

Does anyone have any build instructions for this?
Specifically around the make menuconfig / make kernel_menuconfig stage. Are the default package selections included in the source tree to load?
Hello Kong i just installed your latest build for the r7800 (2022-01-02) and for some reason i can't update Lists to download Packages
Update about 30mins later everything was working fine

@KONG I switched to your 21.02 trunk build (NSS cores) cca half year ago on my R7800 - basic vanilla configuration with guest network only. I have no additional services, packages or anything running there. As been mentioned many times, entire Openwrt and your build is an amazing piece of work - is night and day difference to stock netgear FW so I am very glad I made the switch.
I started experiencing serious problem of freezing of 5GHz network and/or router (happened once in 3 months on Netgear FW) since the switch from 5.4 to 5.10 kernel has happened. I have not done any configuration reset on 21.02 trunk branch since the kernel switch has happened (done full reset going to 21.02 with flashing firmware twice though).
I now need to restart either WLAN (via LED button) or entire router depending on severity of the issue, sometimes twice in the row till it works. It was briefly mentioned in this forum so I might not be alone. The frequency of the problem is increasing: 2-3 days working non-stop with older builds to only 1 day with previous 13th of Jan build to 5-8 hours of latest 19th of Jan build where I need to restart the router.
I decided for trunk branch due to NSS acceleration - so I am fine with the risk and manual restarts for now, but I would love the fix there mostly when 21.02 version with 5.4 kernel was very solid for me - freezing of 5GHz happened but was rare. I have captured SYSTEM and KERNEL logs with three manual restarts I did (via WLAN button) - not sure where to send it for you to inspect it.
Last but not least, keep up the good work - you were amazing with DD-WRT and you stayed awesome with Openwrt. Thank you.
If you have any logs, send them via pm. If you have freezing 5G, try to ssh in using a pc that is connected via cable and grab out put of command:
tail -n 50 /var/log/messages
Also test the build that I just uploaded and check if it makes any difference.

Funnily enough, I have been trying to track down the same issue - 5GHz network appears to crash/stop/have issues after a while. Likewise, only happened since I switched to 5.10 NSS build. I'll try the latest build just uploaded. Out of interest, what is the change in the test build?
It happened to my recent 5.4 builds as well. I suspect it’s due to the patch that is supposed to improve the performance of air time fairness:
https://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt/openwrt.git;a=commit;h=68886f301850c6c35bdff002a719fed1ded584c9
My R7800 and Askey RT4230W’s WiFi will slow down when many WiFi clients are connected. My builds completed in Oct 2021 is fine as far as I can remember.
The changes to mac80211 since Oct does not seem to be the cause as far as I can tell.
I’ll try to remove this patch and try to see if it is the culprit.

Too many core changes, kernel and firewall4. Kernel 5.10 based builds are currently too experimental Stick with stable NSS 5.4 at least for the next 6 months.
Hello Guys
I need your help, My Wifi Schedule Service is not working or I can say half working. It stops wifi service on time , but it does not start, I should reboot router or I should get in to the gui and enable the wifi.

Looks like it could really be the virtual air-time schedule patch. My R7800 with this patch removed is behaving normally now, albeit only with 1.5 days of uptime. If memory serves, it will start acting weird after about a day.
Will monitor it for longer (3-4 days up time should do the trick) and report back.
Interesting fact tho. is that the same patch is there for master (5.10), and I'm using my own master build for my Linksys E8450 (with mt76 driver) and it doesn't exhibit the same behaviour as my R7800. The E8450 has been up for more than a month.
I'll probably start a new thread to discuss this issue.

@KONG PPPoE offload doesn't seem to work on the newer 5.10 kernel based builds. I'm not sure if this expected. I did a quick search and couldn't find anything referencing it, except me saying I'd test out PPPoE offload.
Edit: this is on a EA8500
