OpenWrt 19.07.8 service release

Limentinus · August 13, 2021, 5:43pm

Perhaps I am doing something wrong, but I get the message that the key has expired.

Dowloaded

https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/19.07.8/targets/ath79/generic/sha256sums

and

https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/19.07.8/targets/ath79/generic/sha256sums.asc

Then

$ gpg --with-fingerprint --verify sha256sums.asc sha256sums
gpg: Signature made Wed 17 Feb 2021 14:52:39 CET

Primary key fingerprint: D9C6 901F 45C9 B868 5868  7DFF 28A3 9BC3 2074 BE7A

Presumably they key is not meant to be expired?

I second 20% wifi throughput increase
For 1 cpu Archer A7 v5 On 80Mhz wide channel I get ~440 Mbits/sec on 19.07.8 as measured by iperf3

Lucid_Enemy · August 22, 2021, 10:35pm

anyone try wrt32x yet on this? im literally never going to 21.02 it was a complete shit show and I ended up having to go get a spare router for a AP luckily found davidc502 builds on waybackmachine so running his latest ancient build. wouldnt mind giving it one more push forward before I go x86 lol

termathor · August 25, 2021, 8:16am

I upgraded my WRT1200 without any issue.

And I have a dual 2.4/5GHz SSID setup, plus a VPN SSID (Cyberghost) based on source policy routing.

No issue to report, after one week. All. fine. Just need to have all packages up to date. And keep every config files

I'll consider going 21, but I'm cautious on this ...

papdee · August 25, 2021, 8:51am

installed on CF e320n-V2 and has been stable for around 1 week now.

cchhat01 · August 27, 2021, 1:56am

r7800 looks stable after this.
I just figured out that Software Flow Offloading on the R7800 breaks some vital functionality that I have with port forwarding becoming dog-slow. Disabling Software Flow Offloading allows my LAN-WAN sftp to work, otherwise everything comes to a screeching halt at 7kbps...
I cannot load my Synology DiskStation's web portal from the WAN side with Software offloading enabled.
Apart from that all is great.

amituofo · August 31, 2021, 7:06am

Thanks for the hardwork!

waynea · September 2, 2021, 7:33pm

I'm on the wrt3200 which is almost identical with no issues.
Like you I'm nervous about 21, although one regular poster here reports that snapshots from master work fine

bobthebuilder · September 2, 2021, 7:44pm

Try the ramfs image via uart/serial first. That way you don't change anything on the flash chip and still reboot the old config if the new version doesn't work.

phinn · September 15, 2021, 6:24pm

21.02, and even better the lastest master on kernel 5.10, was a big improvement for my WRT32X, in everything except wifi. The wifi stalls out occationally now which never happened in 19.07 branch. There must be a bug somewhere and with less people using mvebu (because of mwlwifi being abandoned) may be unresolved. I might just get a wifi 6 ap (e.g. U6-Lite-US) and keep the router on master snapshot. Overall I think it's a very worthy upgrade update though and I wouldn't go back to 19.07 even though it was rock solid.

routerfix · October 14, 2021, 1:27am

19.07.8 with custom compiled wifi driver and properly working ipv6 still much faster than stock 21.02.0

cchhat01 · October 24, 2021, 6:16am

Anyone running 19.07 on TP-Link A7 v5 that can share wifi performance metrics on 5GHz ?
Trying to decide if this works better than the master build.

Saidiadude1 · October 29, 2021, 1:55am

Running stock 19.07.8 on A7 v5 as an AP in one house, main in another. Extremely stable on both 2.4 and 5.

webmin4 · November 3, 2021, 7:16am

Easybox 802 (Arcadian752dpw) USB ports are now powered on ( Activated power supply to USB ports). There is no switch in all 19.07 versions.

I'n trying to connect USB. Device is visible as /mnt/sda1 but ls /mint/sda1 shows nothing.
Packages for USB NTFS and others mounted.
I Will try tomorrow.

cchhat01 · January 25, 2022, 7:14pm

I've observed random reboots on the R7800 running v19.07.8 after days of uptime (last one just an hour ago). Previous was perhaps 20 days back. But it has happened in a span of less than 10 days as well.

Ramon · January 25, 2022, 9:42pm

I had the same thing until I changed the performance governor, see e.g. here:

Is 19.07.9 out yet, as I can find the release but no announcement: https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/19.07.9/targets/ar71xx/mikrotik/

psherman · February 22, 2022, 10:40pm

Not yet...

In general, a new OpenWrt version isn't technically released until an official announcement is made.

The technicality is important because the build may not actually be complete. It is possible that images for some devices may not be ready, or maybe certain packages will not have finished building. There is also a small possibility that an issue may arise in the build process that causes the build to fail for some targets or packages.

Therefore, just wait until the official announcement is made (should be pretty soon -- usually just a few days after the build-bots start compiling/building a newly tagged stable release version).

hnyman · February 25, 2022, 6:40pm

19.07.9 has been officially announced today
