OpenWrt 22.03.5 fifth service release

EA3500 issues still persisted from 22.03.4 onto 22.03.5 but I may have found the problem with ipv6, wan6 having it enabled caused packet loss, wan throughput dropping.

After disabling both ipv6, wan6 my internet connection returned to normal, ping loss disappeared.

Enabling both packet loss, wan throughput was dropping.

Do I need to open a new thread with logs for further discussion etc?

Edited: The problem maybe my isp at the moment.
I had some time to do more testing on some speed test sites with ipv6 enabled and found no problem as described in my previous post.

I don't really need to run IPv6 over my network but I do enable it from time to time to check if it is working after upgrading.

I can now check the beta testers for kirkwood again and perhaps I will see the same results.

Regards

Update from;

Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.2
ARMv8 Processor rev 3

22.03.5

Wifi devices are gone (just my WAN backup)

So back to 22.03.4 trying to fix this later. Any suggestions in the meantime are welcome of course.

Cudy WR2100 and Archer C7 v2 succesfully upgraded.

:no_entry: :no_entry: :no_entry: not stable for tl-wr841n v13 :no_entry: :no_entry: :no_entry:

Hello friends I upgraded my TP-LINK TL-WR841N V13 router to the latest stable version of Openwrt v22.03.5. !!!Unfortunately, it is not good at all!!! It works very hard and the boot time of the device has increased a lot, and worst of all, it automatically reboots when saving the router settings, while this was not the case in any of the previous versions!
!!! And when Wi-Fi is restarted, the LAN connection will be disconnected for a long time!!!
And the installation space is much less and unused :frowning: Dear developers, please think about making it heavier and rebooting this version in the next builds. I have flashed the router many times and unfortunately it rebooted when I did Wi-Fi settings and the devices tab. I hope you solve this problem in the next builds :slight_smile:

TP-LINK TL-WR841N V13 https://openwrt.org/toh/hwdata/tp-link/tp-link_tl-wr841n_v13

This router only provides 8 MB flash and 64 MB RAM. Please read more about this here: https://openwrt.org/supported_devices/openwrt_on_864_devices

Today's popular routers are in the range of 128 or 256 MB flash and 512 MB RAM. Examples:

So, yes, sooner or later 8 MB flash and 64 MB RAM devices will run out of resources and it will be time to upgrade to run recent OpenWrt releases.

Insufficient RAM for stable operation

  • 32 MB RAM is already deprecated. You will run into issues with an up to date OpenWrt version.
  • 64 MB RAM may have some issues with stability, depending on your hardware and use cases, although it is enough for basic usage
  • 128 MB RAM or more is recommended if software past basic router/AP functionality is to be used

Raspberry Pi 4 does not work after updating from 22.03.4 to 22.03.5 via Attended Sysupdate as well. The reason is unknown and I still kept the SD card separately for the late investigation. Luckily I could restore the back to the new SD card and continue. Have anyone run into the same issue?

Happened to me as well, I thought I had done something wrong up until your post.

RPi 4B, attended sysupdate from 22.03.4 to 22.03.5 and 22.03.3 to 22.03.4 resulted in a non working system.
Attended Sysupdate worked fine for updates before 22.03.4.

Already flashed the SD card with build with custom packages from https://firmware-selector.openwrt.org/?version=22.03.5&target=bcm27xx%2Fbcm2711&id=rpi-4
22.03.5 works fine with that one!

Meanwhile half of us are still using v19 because you wont fix compatability issues and just blame it on the manufacturer

Who is "us"?

Nobody should use OpenWrt 19.07 for more than network isolated test or learning setups today. OpenWrt 19.07 is unmaintained end of life and does not receive security vulnerabilty patches.

If you like to maintain OpenWrt 19.07 branch forever the community will be thankful. Please do so.

In January 2024 Linux kernel 4.14 series of OpenWrt 19.07 will be upstream end of life and you will then have to maintain this kernel for yourself. Good luck.

TP-LINK TD-W8970 (dumb AP) successfully updated. :grinning:
Many thanks to all the devs.

Wifi is working (just did the imagebuilding again, don't know why it didn't work the first time, there where no errors)

there is apparently no package for dns-https-proxy for 22.03.5...

root@Router:~# opkg list | grep dns-https-proxy
root@Router:~#

Is luci-app-https-dns-proxy and https-dns-proxy what you are looking for?

luci-app-https-dns-proxy - 2022-10-15-11 - Provides Web UI for DNS Over HTTPS Proxy
https-dns-proxy - 2022-10-15-11 - Light-weight DNS-over-HTTPS, non-caching translation proxy for the RFC 8484 DoH standard. It receives regular (UDP) DNS requests and resolves them via DoH resolver. Please see https://docs.openwrt.melmac.net/https-dns-proxy/ for more information.

Yes, I spelled it wrong ;-). But the problem is that from version .4 to .5 it's not working for some reason.
I'll check it out when I find the time.

Remember to do opkg update before attempting to search for or install a package. :-)

@CakeConnoisseur At least I can confirm that updating from 22.03.3 to 22.03.4 worked successfully on an RPi 4 and an RPi Compute Module 4. The issue should be either in 22.03.4 or in 22.03.5.

Cudy WR1300 Upgrade including settings from 22.03.3 without issues.

I have installed OpenWRT on my brand-new Belkin RT3200 router. The installation and configuration of VPN/RBS took less than 15 minutes. I am really happy. Thank you very much for all your hard work!

22.03.5 installed on Askey RT4230W REV6 (ipq8065).

Issues:

  • 5 GHz txpower is now limited to 23 dBm with country code set to US. Previously txpower up to 30 dBm was supported on this device (allowed in US for U-NII-1 and U-NII-3).

I upgrade to version 22.03.5 on 12 devices today, of different types (routers, switches) and brands, and everything went well.

Thank you very much for the very good work!!!
