Hello,
I’ve been trying to upgrade the firmware for a selected router.
Yet the firmware selector won’t respond with a download option.
Is there any workaround?
Just checked, it does as expected.
What is happenning?
If you're not building a custom image - https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/24.10.5/targets/bcm53xx/generic/

No idea. tried with Firefox, Chrome. Expected download button won’t appear.
I’d be happy to download it elsewhere but it obviously needs to be adapted to the device.
this may not have made it to all targets yet?
Thanks. This worked (https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/24.10.5/targets/bcm53xx/generic/openwrt-24.10.5-bcm53xx-generic-netgear_r6250-squashfs.chk)…sorry, that was the checksum only.
Need to figure out how to customise it to this particular device.
Firmware selector can do this, but apparently you have issues. To customize, use the image builder.

Well,
I had a look but I must admit that this really looks complext to me.
If this works with all of you, would anyone be able to upload the image for this Netgear here?
I tried again, Safari, Opera- no download button. When I adapt the packages (I added ‘nano’ e.g.), one can request the firmware, the builder briefly processes it. “Built successful”.
For completeness, below is the output of STDERR (just in case it might help pinpoint what’s going on).

I can do this but I miss the most important : which device? Netgear R6250?
Just add nano as extra package?
Yes, Netgear R6250.
Don’t worry about nano. This was a test to trigger the builder process hoping it would show a download button.
Will install it manually as I’ve always done with updates usually.
Send by private message. It includes nano.
