For Polish and German users, a new version of OpenWrt 21.02 SMP and VPE with default support for ADSL/VDSL. Not included encrypted DNS. System now supports IPv6 addresses. Asterisk is not installed by default. List of useful commands: http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/luci/admin/system/commands
Default password for both Wi-Fi networks: WiFipassword
Passwords to be changed only via the console. The package repository is accessible remotely via Github.

Installation via Luci or console.

The images are fully compatible with Recovery:

Hey @Zuzia, great work! I flashed your current image and was really positive suprised about the direct software management! It seems like a mainline device and were able to install new packages.

Unfortunately I don't understand why the device is not pingable. The web surface and ssh work great, but no ping response, even when I reflash and give different lan ip addresses to the device.

Another strange behavior is that the 5GHz wifi works great with a different edited password via ssh, but no chance for 2,4 GHz. It is discovered, but I get always no login possible with different devices...

So do you have any idea what is wrong and could it have something to do with wpad?

Thanks a lot @Zuzia, the image works great for Easybox 904xDSL! I have the same issue as @suppenkasper0815. WiFi works on 5 GHz but no chance to connect on 2.4 GHz.

Any hints of a known issue here?

@Zuzia Any new versions to test the ipv6 dual-stack like @wess has the same issue?

@suppenkasper0815 IPv6 problem is due to bugs in OpenWrt itself, for now I don't know how to solve it.

New versions of images based on OpenWrt 21.02.7 with kernel 5.4.238

The package repository is available online via Github. Good news - 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi is working again (default password: WiFipassword). Change password only via vi or mcedit (Luci is still incompatible with Wi-Fi). Bad news - MAC addresses for LAN and WAN are just an example, but everything works. Note to purists. I know this is a dirty workaround, but without DSA support, further development is not possible. Unfortunately I don't know how to add DSA support, help is needed.

New RECOVERY images with kernel 5.4.238:

Hi

I have an old Speedport W921v I wanted to flash with openwrt, links to images posted here do not work anymore.

Any chance, I miss some link? I see recent firmware for EasyBox but not for W921v.

Has anyone a recent image for my device, and how is with WLAN support, is it working?

Thanks in advance

1.) So to clarify, does this mean, i can't use an Easybox 904 xDSL in client mode as a station?
My use-case would be "glorified WiFi-Stick". Meaning i kinda want it perform as a wireless repeater (Wireless network bridge (wireless repeater), OpenWrt as client device).
Network config idea: Internet DSL -> New Easybox 904xDSL with original software (for now) -> WiFi -> Old Easybox 904xDSL with openwrt -> Lan(port) -> PC.
2.) If it wouldn't work, why is that so? Is it a hardware or a software problem? (Just curios about the technical side of it.)
(3.) Just ignoring the problem, so assuming it works. Shouldn't the Easybox be able to be a repeater without reducing bitrate by around 50%, as it could make use of two wifi networks(normal & guest)?)

Thanks for all your efforts, as i might just tinker around with the easybox anyways and your contributions to openwrt.

Latest version of images for Easybox 904xDSL is v5:

Detailed instructions: https://github.com/zuzia-dev/Easybox-904xDSL-repo-source?tab=readme-ov-file#perform-the-following-procedures-to-upgrade-the-firmware

I recommend not to configure wired and wireless network through LuCi only in the terminal, you can in GUI mode: http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/luci/admin/services/ttyd. The rest of the services can be configured through LuCi.

If there is no DSL connection, let it immediately execute the “switch to WAN-eth0.2” script at the bottom: http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/luci/admin/system/commands

Hey everyone
I flashed Zuzia's latest images (v5) from October 2024 on my EB 904xDSL and am experiencing the same troubles with the Ethernet switch (as Matzeee and RENErica)
My use case would be to use the EB as an AP for 2,4 GHz-WiFi and also use the Ethernet switch for receiving an upstream connection behind my main router.
However, while wireless mostly works if I configure it directly via /etc/config/wireless, the ports of the Ethernet switch work rather randomly (especially after restarting the EasyBox).
When they don't work, I can mostly still acces LuCi via WiFi and see in the Network -> Switch section, that they show up as no link/no carrier.
They sometimes start working when I plug the cable into another switch port.
However, since I'm planning on kind of hiding the AP behind a shelf, I would like to avoid that as much as possible.

Current setup is, that the upstream/internet connection cable to the EasyBox is plugged into yellow switch port #1 (upstream router provides DHCP and DNS) and downstream connections are via both WiFis (2,4 GHz and 5 GHz) and switch ports #2-4.
I had to re-plug clients and the upstream cable into different ports to make this work currently, so it is probably not a port specific problem...

Any advice on how I could start troubleshooting this?
