Great news!

Is there an expected lag before the Firmware Selector custom packager recognizes the new RC?

Should be fixed, please try again.

Updated from rc4 to rc5(x86-64) and ipv6 broke.

Router gets an ipv6 address on wan, but no traffic passes. Clients don't even get an address.
Haven't done any further troubleshooting yet.

EDIT: router actually has ipv6 connectivity, dns was being weird. Still nothing on clients though.
Removed all the *tables-legacy packages and no change.

EDIT2: ipv6 eventually started working, so I put all my packages back the way things started, and ipv6 kept working. Guess it was just a coincidental ISP outage.

firewall4 now supports include files within existing chains.

See @jow’s comment on Github for the basic syntax:

config include
  option type nftables
  option path /etc/whatever.nft  # avoid /etc/nftables.d/*.nft here since that is still included by default in the old fixed position
  # may also be ruleset-prepend (before table) ruleset-append (after table), 
  # table-prepend (before fist chain in table), table-append (after last chain in table),
  # chain-prepend (at top of chain), chain-append (at bottom of chain)
  option position table-prepend
  # name of chain to prepend/append, only meaningful in conjunction with
  # position chain-prepend or chain-append
  #option chain 'input_wan'

Finally it works on BT homehub v5a including Dynamic DNS. I can now test it further but is OK after 44 hours. Well done

okay newbie here, I have tplink Archer c20 V4 internet doesnt work on 5Ghz radio, works fine on 2.4Ghz.

Reporting an issue too with my tl-wr902ac system. This may be the same issue as huskyhunter reported just above, as I understand both platforms use similar chipsets and radios.

In my setup, the tl-wr902ac has a wifi client connecting over 5GHz to my AP, and a wifi AP on the 2.4 GHz band. The wifi client over 5GHz doesn't work with 22.03.0-rc5, while it was fine with 22.03.0-rc4. The 2.4 GHz wifi AP works fine in either case.

I also updated my main AP (r7800) and my router (wrt1200ac) to rc5, no issues were encountered on these platforms.

@huskyhunter @walken How much free memory do you have?

The Archer C20 v4 and TL-WR902AC are both 8/64 devices with too little memory to guarantee consistent reliable operation with current OpenWrt releases: https://openwrt.org/tag/64ram

Briefly tested on NanoPi R4S: Boots and appears to be stable.

WIFI Password is not working

I upgraded my dumb AP - Wrt1900ACS from 21.02.3 to 22.03 RC5 with keeping settings. Both my phones showed Wrong Password and were not able to connect to WIFI. I had to revert back to 21.02.3 and it worked like a charm. I tested 22.03 RC1,3,4,and 5 and the wrong wifi password issue persisted.

No Idea what should be done? Is this a known issue with 22.03? upgrade without keeping setting? Thanks!

37% thats is the usual usage, downgraded to rc4 and 5ghz works fine

Not a memory issue then.

After a glorious 240 day uptime on my WRT32X decided to take the plunge to rc5. Did a clean install on the second partition. Added some typical packages, SQM cake running 500/35 Mbits cable speedtest with A+ bufferbloat/ A+ quality results, USB3.0 storage 100 MB/s read-write via Samba, adblock, irqbalance, advanced reboot, etc. nftables/fw4 appears to be seamless, no issues noticed. All good so far, thanks devs.

MikroTik RouterBOARD 951Ui-2nD

Fresh install. I patted this RC for 10 hours to learn the newishness of the GUI and liked several item.
Having such a limited CPU it handicapped WireGuard's throughput to 60% of achievable from release I moved from.
I've parked my system back to release for now.

Great Job on the RC, I'm sure it's a step up for most users, including me.

No future for OpenWrt 19.07, so I'm going to continue exploring the rc5.

I don't do too much with the system, so I normally have about half of the memory free on it. I did not check the free amount under rc5 but I also didn't see anything about being short on memory in the logs.

I have a linksys EA8500 and when installing the ath10k smallbuffers driver it gave me an instability problem, with the ath10k drivers no CT is working normally, I only have qosify and htop for the moment.

Running 22.03.0-rc5 with image armvirt-64 with lxc on raspberry pie 4 i get the error:

~ # wget
Illegal instruction (core dumped)

wget works fine on same set up with 21.02.3.
