Nighthawk X10 R9000 can't download packages

do we have any updated for this one i am currently using netgear nighthawk x10 r9000 i know there is no longer support for this but is there a stable community build to just like update this since i can no longer use OPKG. thank you for the answers

also i do need to set up a GRE for my router since i cant find any routers that is listed in openwrt as supported in my country.

Yep - OPKG is replaced with APK from alpine linux in snapshots. Since you have luci installed just install packages you need via web?

Community builds just re-build OpenWrt with modified parameters, they do not do backporting to stable.

For GRE - install luci-proto-gre.

If you dont tell country we can not help

hello i tried installing luci-proto-gre at the web but there it says

The package luci-proto-gre is not available in any configured repository.

my country is at Philippines

This is even what happens when i do updates lists..

edit /etc/opkg/distfeeds.conf, change the relevant part of the URLs to
https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/24.10-SNAPSHOT/.

You are on an old snapshot. Install more recent one via firmware-selector or install owut package apk and upgrade to it.

Assuming the OP didn't make a typo error, there is no R9000 support, at least official.
On this thread, we can see that the target is "target": "alpine/generic",

after doing the opkg i get

and in my software there is no available packages that appears

netgear x10 r9000 is not in the officials of openwrt the thing is that i need the package for the GRE when i no longer can install it via the opkg since the repos are gone. what do i do? is there any workaround? just the GRE i cant find any netgear router that is in the officials of netgear

use the </> button when you paste cli output, your post looks like sh-t.

there're opkg params for this.

look for the github repo from where your image originated, and build your own.

Alpine/generic is not a valid target. There is no such directory in the server, so you can't download files that don't even exist.

is there anyway i can load up GRE in my openwrt night hawk x10 r9000?

You need kernel modules from your firmware’s source. OpenWrt can not help you with that.

It appears you are using firmware that is not from the official OpenWrt project.

When using forks/offshoots/vendor-specific builds that are "based on OpenWrt", there may be many differences compared to the official versions (hosted by OpenWrt.org). Some of these customizations may fundamentally change the way that OpenWrt works. You might need help from people with specific/specialized knowledge about the firmware you are using, so it is possible that advice you get here may not be useful.

You may find that the best options are:

  1. Install an official version of OpenWrt, if your device is supported (see https://firmware-selector.openwrt.org).
  2. Ask for help from the maintainer(s) or user community of the specific firmware that you are using.
  3. Provide the source code for the firmware so that users on this forum can understand how your firmware works (OpenWrt forum users are volunteers, so somebody might look at the code if they have time and are interested in your issue).

If you believe that this specific issue is common to generic/official OpenWrt and/or the maintainers of your build have indicated as such, please feel free to clarify.

GRE needs kernel modules, which need to be built as part of the base image, as there is a strict kernel dependency (explicitly and implicitly). If you need additional functionality, you will need to build your own image from source, including everything (=y) you might want to install.

Sadly the r9000 and the Annapurna Labs Alpine AL-514 SOC were never merged into OpenWrt, which doesn't make this easier.
