This is the first time installing openwrt 24.10.1 from stock Netgear R6350. It booted fine and it detected the 4 ports, wan and wireless. Everything went well except I did run into a little difficulty when setting up the wifi netowkrs. Everything appears to be running correctly now but I came across an anomaly in the logs that reappear after reboots. I don't know what it could mean. Is there anything to be concerned about?
I see a few lines about a ubi0 warning error -77 (ECC error)
Sounds like a memory issue.
Would this be a cause of concern for the device stability or will the firmware be able to mark it bad and continue to use the available good memory?
This not a RAM memory but ROM memory error (mtd13).
Ok, but I see in the logs that its mtd3 then the errors appear. Unless I am reading the log incorrectly. Would this still be the ROM?
Anything I can do to improve my situation?
Would this issue cause problems when I'm sysupgrading? Actually, what I meant to say is which problems in the future should I expect related to these ROM errors?
I want to prepare myself for issues to make a determination of recycling the hardware and look for another.
typo error, my bad. mtd referes to ROM partition layout. And mtd3 refers to the kernel partition, that's very unfortunate.
Yes, flashing to a bad sector triggers an error.
bricking ... that simple.
One thing you can try is to restore original Netgear software with nrmpflash. Test the device, than reflash back OpenWrt. I'm not confident about this, but it's worthy to try.
