The OpenWrt community is proud to announce the sixth release candidate of the upcoming OpenWrt 22.03 stable version series. It incorporates over 3500 commits since branching the previous OpenWrt 21.02 release and has been under development for about one year.
This is just a release candidate and not the final release yet.
installed and not working on BT Home hub 5. Dynamic DNS has the correct numbers but my website does not appear. IP numbers on rc6 & on my server match. Other websites are OK. Had to drop back to rc5 (the only version that fully works).
Hi all,
I installed last RC6 on my WAX202 yesterday and this morning I was locked out of LuCI while SSH was successful.
Even after a POST with the right credentials, the subsequent GET always returned 403.
I tried resetting password with passwd but LuCI remained locked.
Browser private session worked, so I had to delete the cookies for the router site.
Sounds like an known problem that also appears when switching from vendor firmware to OpenWRT on a Linksys WRT. WRT is based an older forked OpenWRT version, reusing the LuCi session cookie name with a non-compatible value.
If you login into WRT vendor admin GUI then flash OpenWRT, the vendor firmware logout will be skipped (which would remove the cookie). If you then try to login into LuCi afterwards, the old cookie is still present, but does not match LuCis value format expectation. That login fails as well, until you manually delete the old cookie.
@StSaens makes sense for more RCs than expected due to the move to nftables.
After a stable 25 day uptime on rc5, flashed rc6 to the other partition on my WRT32X, running great so far. Thanks devs.
There might be a bug in Upnp related to nftables, doesn't seem to be working luci page reports no activity. Starting to look more into it (generally keep it off anyway, but just for testing).
I was able to do an in place upgrade of my A6 v3 router from rc4 to rc6. But when I try to opkg update I get an error downloading Packages.sig. All other files update correctly when this command is run.

Updated WRT1900ACS V1 from 21.02.3 to 22.03.0-rc6 keeping the configuration.
The unit didn't come back up from the reboot, it had to be power cycled.
The power, Internet, and wireless LEDs are too dim to be useable. They are dimmer than before, I can barely see them in a dark room.
Otherwise the unit appears to be working fine after the power cycle.
Edit: Ignore power cycle issue, may have been caused by an attached switch.
Thankyou, I will install rc6 coming weekend and report back.
by the way 5th release had no issue at all in a Zbt-we1326, finally wlan 5Ghz has no disconnects, its been working for 5 days with no issue
