Upgrading to 24.10

Sysupgrade can be used to upgrade a device from 23.05 to 24.10, and configuration will be preserved in most cases.

For for upgrades inside the OpenWrt 24.10 stable series for example from a OpenWrt 24.10 release candidate Attended Sysupgrade is supported in addition which allows preserving the installed packages too.

  • Sysupgrade from 22.03 to 24.10 is not officially supported.

  • There is no configuration migration path for users of the ipq806x target for Qualcomm Atheros IPQ806X SoCs because it switched to DSA. You have to upgrade without saving the configuration.
    ''Image version mismatch. image 1.1 device 1.0 Please wipe config during upgrade (force required) or reinstall. Config cannot be migrated from swconfig to DSA Image check failed''

  • User of the Linksys E8450 aka. Belkin RT3200 running OpenWrt 23.05 or earlier will need to run installer version v1.1.3 or later in order to reorganize the UBI layout for the 24.10 release. A detailed description is in the OpenWrt wiki. Updating without using the installer will break the device. Sysupgrade will show a warning before doing an incompatible upgrade.

  • Users of the Xiaomi AX3200 aka. Redmi AX6S running OpenWrt 23.05 or earlier have to follow a special upgrade procedure described in the wiki. This will increase the flash memory available for OpenWrt. Updating without following the guide in the wiki break the device. Sysupgrade will show a warning before doing an incompatible upgrade.

  • Users of Zyxel GS1900 series switches running OpenWrt 23.05 or earlier have to perform a new factory install with the initramfs image due to a changed partition layout. Sysupgrade will show a warning before doing an incompatible upgrade and is not possible.

Known issues

  • LEDs for Airoha AN8855 are not yet supported. Devices like the Xiaomi AX3000T with an Airoha switch will have their switch LEDs powered off. This issue will be addressed in an upcoming OpenWrt SNAPSHOT and the OpenWrt 24.10 minor release.
  • 5GHz WiFi is non-functional on certain devices with ath10k chipsets. Affected models include the TP-Link Archer C60 v1, and possibly others. For details, see issue #14541.

This stable release is also notable because it finally includes the late Dave Taht”s wish to remove the codel parameters from WiFi. It was reverted by @tohojo after Dave’s passing and backported to 6.12.44 (included in 24.10.3 via mac80211).

Easy upgrade from a 24.10-snapshot to .3 on my GL-MT6000. Lots of added packages etc everything working without a hitch. Great to see the sizable mt76 driver update too. Thanks for all your efforts devs!

I have tested ath79, filogic and x86 builds using ASU with all three clients, they build and install without issue. If you encounter issues with ASU upgrades, please report them on the respective client threads:

There were seven targets that failed to produce both working imagebuilders, and containers for ASU builds. These targets are

  • at91/sama5
  • at91/sama7
  • bcm4908/generic
  • bmips/bcm63268
  • bmips/bcm6362
  • layerscape/armv7
  • layerscape/armv8_64b

If you attempt to use the imagebuilder from the downloads site for any of these, it will generate an error when you run make image ...; if you attempt to use ASU, it will report image not found: ghcr.io/openwrt/imagebuilder:TARGET-v24.10.3 (where TARGET will be one of the entries in the above list). You can still use the pre-built images from downloads site and upgrade from scratch.

Upgraded my two Belkin RT3200s (main and dumb AP), a Redmi AC2100 and a Xiaomi Mi 4A 100M International, all to 24.10.3 (from 24.10.2) without issues using owut.

So far, so good.

Thanks to all the devs!

I upgraded all of my devices using attended sysupgrade, no issues except my GL-MT3000. The “wireless” tab is gone after the upgrade and the client list on the overview page is missing. I can confirm Wi-Fi is working on the device (I am connected to it and using it as i write this) and even the statistics page is showing the stats for the radio. I have power cycled the device and re-run the upgrade and no luck. Any ideas?

Edit: http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/luci/admin/network/wireless returns a 404 error.

Upgraded WRT3200ACM and EAP615-wall, no problems.
