I'd advise running a release version of OpenWrt if you're not.

I'm running the only version available for my device:

http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/targets/ath79/generic/openwrt-ath79-generic-glinet_gl-ar750s-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin

Again, snapshots are upgraded on a regular basis, therefore the packages and requisite kernel versions change:

Options:

  • force the install (not advised)
  • build yor own image with proper packages
  • wait until next snapshot and packages are built (suggested)
  • wait for version 19 for your device

Where would I see if there are new snapshots available and how do I update my version - do I manually install the image (and Keep Settings) or is there an automatic process?

Ummm...In the same location you downloaded it. The date will obviously change.

The sysupgrade command.
