Notification on new releases:
Thanks Jeff for pointing me in the right direction, with your instructions and a bit of search router is up and running 18.06.4 with Luci back on track.
Thanks again!
Just a quick note, sysupgrade from 18.06.2, maintaining config, no issues on a couple of Buffalo units: WZR-HP-AG300H and WZR-600DHP.
Edit: Used imagebuilder for both to carry over the packages I had installed in 18.06.2, so no opkg used.
Jeff,
What’s the issue with attended sysupgrade? It’s basically an ImageBuilder front-end for luci. As far as I understand, what it does is gets all the packages installed in the system, then builds a sysupgrade image using Chef ImageBuilder.
Hence using it should be the same as building your own image with packages included, rather than upgrading via opkg.
If that is what it does, and not an opkg update hack, it sounds like a good approach.
Hello, how do I do bandwidth control on router tplink c60 archer ???
Search SQM here and on openwrt.org -- if you have questions after reading what you've found, open a thread on your specific question that wasn't covered there.
A post was split to a new topic: Turn off ntp client
Another begrudging thank you to the the OpenWRT spoilsports.
TP-Link Archer C2600 US Ver 1.1 updated from OpenWrt 18.06.2 r7676-cddd7b4c77 / LuCI openwrt-18.06 branch (git-19.020.41695-6f6641d) to OpenWrt 18.06.4 r7808-ef686b7292 / LuCI openwrt-18.06 branch (git-19.170.32094-4d6d8bc) with sysupgrade.
Backup of configuration taken with Luci before starting upgrade and upgrade image downloaded from Table of Hardware: Firmware downloads.

The output was displayed for a fraction of a second before the connection was closed, along with my terminal. The ssh service stopped and the device remained pingable for a minute or so before going offline for about four minutes.
As usual, added packages needed to be reinstalled.

I upgraded from 18.06.2 to 18.06.4 on my Linksys WRT3200. For some unknown reason, the software addons have disappeared. I had adblock, openvpn and watchat but all gone after upgrade. I tried installing one of them again after updating packages via GUI but still no luck. Anyone else facing the same issue. Any ideas to fix it?
Packages aren't preserved, though their config files are.
You had "no luck?" That covers a lot of ground. What actually happened when you tried to install the packages you needed on 18.06.04.
Sorry I wasn’t articulate enough. I hit the install button which said installing and a few minutes later, the page refreshed without anything being installed.
