Hello. I updated today 2 Xiaomi AX3200 (AX6S) running in mesh and one FritzBox 7412 running as dump AP from 23.05.2 => 23.05.3. For now everything works great. Thank you!

Hi folks,
just made an attended sysupgrade via luci on my Xiaomi AX3600 from version 23.05.2.
Device is running, but no more reachable.... no ping, no ssh, no luci...
May be important; this is not the main router. Act as a dump AP with fix IP-adress...
It looks like, that the IP-Adress changed anyway ...
any ideas?
thanks and best
Andrew

P.S. regarding to post 68: that might be my problem here. But how can I access, to change the settings??

P.S.S: all is running well after upgrade viua Luci and uncheck the ā€œkeep settingsā€ checkbox! Restored the backup and all went fine! Learned how to handle minor release upgrades :innocent: Thanks!

Some more info. BSSID and SSID are correct the rest seems to have a lot of "8" in it. Feels like some kind of memory corruption.

root@OpenWrt4:~# ubus call usteer remote_info
{
        "192.168.64.1#hostapd.phy0-ap0": {
                "bssid": "xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx",
                "ssid": "xxxxx",
                "freq": 8,
                "n_assoc": 8,
                "noise": -65528,
                "load": 8,
                "max_assoc": 8,
                "roam_events": {
                        "source": 0,
                        "target": 0
                },
                "rrm_nr": [
                        "xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx",
                        "xxxxx",
                        "xxxxxxxxxxxxff1900008124090603033200"
                ]
        },

I just upgraded a R7800 and there everything is working as expected. So its kind of weird.

I upgraded my WRT3200ACM to 23.05.3, and it's running great. Thank you to the developers and testers for getting this release out!

each time I do a upgrade it keeps most of my settings but it re-enables dnsmasq and firewall in the startup menu

Merge this into Startup -> Local Startup:

for i in firewall dnsmasq odhcpd; do
  if /etc/init.d/"$i" enabled; then
    /etc/init.d/"$i" disable
    /etc/init.d/"$i" stop
  fi
done

There was a long list. What I did was take my existing rp4 router and its list of installed packages. Using the firmware selector, I created a custom sysupdate image using the new 23.05.3 release. Attended system upgrade couldnā€™t update 23.05.2, so I did it this way and installed 23.05.3. It installed and booted fine. I checked to see if bugs I noticed in 23.05.2 had been addressed. (Sadly no). I updated the software packages and noticed a long list of available updates which should not be there, but were. None could be upgraded. The error message said that the packages could not be installed because they required a higher version of the kernel. Iā€™m no longer using 23.05.3.

Try this procedure yourself and see if the kmod packages you need have this issue.

mwlwifi: Add support for WPA3

According to this post, this is a bit misleading, along with the related wiki update.

For 8964 chip models (WRT3200ACM and WRT32X) WPA3 support is still not available as per the driver commit notes. Blame Marvell for an incomplete Wi-Fi driver.

Thanks!
Upgrade from 23.05.2 done with attended sysupgrade!
Now 23.05.3 Yeah!

You are indeed correct: with SFO my spare Archer C6v2 can handle about 700Mbps PPPoE on 23.05.3, up from 200Mbps without it. I did it by disabling SFO, and adding:

# cat /etc/nftables.d/20-custom-flowtable.nft
flowtable myft {
	hook ingress priority 0;
	devices = { "br-lan", "pppoe-wan" };
	counter;
}

chain forward {
	type filter hook forward priority filter; policy drop;
	meta l4proto { tcp, udp } flow offload @myft;
}

Vulnerability a worry for openwrt
76

Unable to do attended sysupgrade on my RPi4 on 23.05.2 as well, says no update is available (to be fair, also my first time attempting an attended upgrade!)

77

It may not be built yet? Or it may have been pulled for cause? My x86-64 showed update available last night. I didn't hit upgrade. Now it does not show available? I don't know why.

Attended sysupgrade worked about 8 PM. Upgraded and it seems fine sofar.
Thanks

Seems like the sysupgrade server may have some issues, right now https://sysupgrade.openwrt.org/json/v1/latest.json shows 23.05.2 as latest, when it should be 23.05.3 (this is where auc/attended sysupgrade fetches it's data from).

Attended Sysupgrade doesn't show 22.05.6

Upgraded my Belkin RT3200 from 22.03.5 to 23.05.3 using SSH, wget, and sysupgrade

No issues at all, config was preserved. Installed packages for USB storage, SQM, and statistics. Test Wifi using iperf, ran a speedtest, all good. My Wifi is set for AC mode (VHT80) and I don't plan on testing AX anytime soon.

Thank you!
