OpenWrt 22.03.3 third service release

[Rebelyouth]

I am replacing a Linksys MR8300 ( ipq40xx) with a Linksys ea7300v2 (MediaTek MT7621AT).
I installed the new 22.03.3, on the B partition, reinstalled the software and everything worked...before I tested the wifi.
On the MR8300 my wifi was 200 Down and 30 up, with this new one:
-Linksys FW V2.0.4.208179 I see 200 Down and 30 up
-Openwrt 22.03.3 I see 1.5 Down and 10 up???

I tested other settings and then I see the device showing available bandwidth on the device up to 450 Mbps but the test confirm this ( as browsing, and watching videos).

Anything I need to install or change in this model?

Any suggestion is appreciated.

UPDATE: I see here lots of people have issues with this chip OpenWrt on MT7621/MT7615N devices with 5GHz problems - #236 by alcazaurus also a lot of routers have this chipset...

I will test without the 5GHz and see...

UPDATE 2: disabling 5GHz I get 20 Mpbs...not great...better of before

Downgraded back to 22.03.2.

I suggest going back to 21.02.5. I was able to do so while retaining the configuration. Internal switch operation works much better.

[rseiler]

@jbrossard You have a typo there, but keeping the configuration isn't recommended going in that direction, is it? I'm surprised it worked.

BTW, I'm further surprised we haven't seen a .6, since is it really possible that v22 warranted a security update (which this update partially was) but v21 did not?

[jbrossard]

@rseiler

You have a typo there

Yup, fixed. I'll let others comment if keeping the config going backwards is okay. Since both versions use DSA I thought I'd try it.

	},

If I run:

iperf -s -D ; iperf3 -c 127.0.0.1

I get about 500Mbits/sec

But if I run from any other wired device, I only get ~200Mbits/sec. Any ideas?

hardware offload or packet steering is not of any help.

Note: I can get a stable ~940Mbits through the built in switch to other devices.

@systemcrash

I only get ~200Mbits/sec.

That is around the figure you can expect from a 720 MHz mips 74Kc single core CPU (QCA9558) - and in practice your traffic is very jagged and laggy at the top of that throughput.

@systemcrash

If I run:

iperf -s -D ; iperf3 -c 127.0.0.1

I get about 500Mbits/sec

That's a totally meaningless figure, you're effectively only testing the RAM bandwidth here, which has no direct impact on the routing abilities of your device (data coming on WAN, being processed by netfilter, router, NATed, going out to LAN).

So you have 500Mbps-1Gbps fiber and need a router READ THIS FIRST

It's such a frequently asked question over the last few years that we really need a post we can point people to. So your cable company rolled out 500Mbps or 1Gbps download speeds, or you have 1Gbps symmetric fiber (GPON/EPON) from ATT or Centurylink or Orange or whoever. You realize your old all in one router from 2009 is not up to the task of handling this, but hey by now stuff should be cheap and available that will handle your new fiber connection right? So you want advice about a router for…

applies to your situation, ath79 is far beyond its abilities for that.

[these two posts don't belong into the 22.03.3 announcement thread, as it's not specific to this release at all - earlier releases (21.02.x, 19.06.x, …) can't get any more out of this hardware either - just that half a decade ago, fewer users had the WAN speeds to even notice these hardware limits]

[systemcrash]

OK, thanks for the feedback. Although... on v21, I got closer to 700Mbits. Seems performance has decreased.

Edit: actually, performance seems to vary, though v23 is able to reach up to 7-800Mbits.

Netgear R7800 and Buffalo WZR-HP-AG300H routers upgraded from 22.03.2 to 22.03.3 with settings retained and missing packages reinstalled post-upgrade.
Both upgrades were uneventful.
Thank you devs for the great release!

My Nanopi R4S and my Netgear GS308T v1 upgraded 7 days ago - runs fine - great release

I to does not boot on my asus rt-ac88u. Made a log from the serial console.

I used, but on 22.02.x firmware.

[Neverends4]

You mean 22.01.x? On 22.01.x upnp works.

[hnyman]

@Vitaliy86

but on 22.02.x firmware.

@Neverends4

mean 22.01.x? On 22.01.x upnp

Well, neither 22.02 nor 22.01 do exist.

There are 21.02 and 22.03.

[User34]

@phinn are you having the isolation issue with the master snapshot build noted by others on mvebu - principally the wired LAN being invisible to WLAN clients? Are you using the latest master snapshot or an older one? Did you retain your configuration file or start fresh?

[Neverends4]

Oh yeah, typo here

[Sam-arch99]

If I would get along with DSA I would give the Snapshot build a try. I'm still using 19.07 and I think that I have to move to an up-to-date Build (security wise)

[Vitaliy86]

Yes, 21.02

[ashjas]

i get the following error on Attended Sysupgrade:

Server response: Unsupported package(s): luci-app-vpn-policy-routing

Has the package been really removed or moved?
If i go with deselecting this package would it be fine?

Thanks.

[tectonic]

vpn-policy-routing is now obsolete and has been replaced by pbr and luci-app-pbr

Hi!
Trying to update my Belkin RT3200 and getting this when uploading the new Firmware:

Do i force it? - Anyone else had this issue?

Thank you for any help.
