OpenWrt 24.10.3 - Service Release

Release and security announcements

It says right there on wifi config 30 db (1000mw). This probably depends on country code you use. I use us as i need max power because 5 ghz radio is used for mesh backhaul.

lsmod | grep mt-*

and im using wpad-openssl insted default with batman-adv kmod and luci app. That’s all. It shouldn’t happend that i lost all mesh wifi connections but it did.

I doesn’t make much sense to me expect that something is changed within mt-* drivers or kernel in a way that batman-adv doesn’t work.

tldr is

opkg update && opkg upgrade ucode libucode

Then proceed with owut blah blah

Long version here: Owut: OpenWrt Upgrade Tool - #747 by efahl

That's usually a mismatch between the installed kernel and the one pointed to by the kmods line in your feeds. They should match or all hell will break loose.

Here's what one of my still-on-24.10.2 devices looks like:

$ ubus call system board | jsonfilter -e '$.kernel'
6.6.93

$ grep kmods /etc/opkg/distfeeds.conf
src/gz openwrt_kmods https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/24.10.2/targets/x86/64/kmods/6.6.93-1-1745ebad77278f5cdc8330d17a3f43d6

If the two numbers mismatch, you need to figure out why the distfeeds.conf is different, since the kernel version on the device dictates what is correct.

According to the ToH, the v4 is 128/128, so looks like it should last a good long while yet. (Although lack of 802.11ac does make it a bit long in the tooth.)

Thx for your reply.
I've checked it on 24.10.2 and 24.10.3 and for me it looks the same (besides the version numbers for sure).
Also on the provided link i can see all the kmods.

24.10.2

# ubus call system board | jsonfilter -e '$.kernel'
6.6.93
# grep kmods /etc/opkg/distfeeds.conf
src/gz openwrt_kmods https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/24.10.2/targets/bcm27xx/bcm2711/kmods/6.6.93-1-5642ee3ae5a6da3ce336f51cf968083c

24.10.3

# ubus call system board | jsonfilter -e '$.kernel'
6.6.104
# grep kmods /etc/opkg/distfeeds.conf
src/gz openwrt_kmods https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/24.10.3/targets/bcm27xx/bcm2711/kmods/6.6.104-1-5642ee3ae5a6da3ce336f51cf968083c

I just upgraded my WRT1900ACS v2 using owut without any problem.

Thanks to all the people that contributed for this release :tada:

That's quite weird. The only way you should be able to see the above is if

  1. You're running 24.10.2
  2. The distfeeds points to 24.10.3
  3. You do opkg update fetching the https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/24.10.3/targets/bcm27xx/bcm2711/kmods/6.6.104-1-5642ee3ae5a6da3ce336f51cf968083c/Packages.gz into /tmp/opkg-lists/openwrt_kmods
  4. So when you do the opkg list-upgradable it sees the installed .93 files, but the opkg-lists shows there's a newer one for .104

The error lies somewhere in step 2 or 3, how is the 24.10.3 packages list getting on your 24.10.2 device?

You can look at the package list and see what it expects with something like this (this again is on a 24.10.2 device):

$ zcat /tmp/opkg-lists/openwrt_kmods | head

Good Afternoon Team,

I have just Sysupgraded my TP-Link TL-WR841N v13 to 24.10.3… No issues… Perfect!

I had Sysupgrade also my Zyxel NWA1123 AC to 24.10.3… No issues… Perfect!

Thanks to all the developers for this wonderful project

Did you try clearing browser cache/ run from incognito before reloading that page? I ask because no issue whatsoever on my GL-MT6000 (which is also Filogic/mt76) so should be close. Wireless page and WiFi in general is working awesome on this release.

Three TP-LINK Archer A7 v5s updated using Luci from 24.10.2 to 24.10.3 with settings kept, packages installed and devices rebooted.
Two are dumb APs, but one is filling in as core router with switch, wireless, one IPv4 and two IPv6 upstream networks, two wireless networks, two LANs, firewall, DHCP, ACME, and haproxy.

TP-LINK Archer C2600 not updated since this release does not appear to have a fix for IPQ806x devices. See TP-LINK Archer C2600 WAN traffic stops after 23.05.5 to 24.10.1 and reconfiguration.

All appears to be working normally.

Thanks again to all who do the work to make this not just possible, but easy.

52

I did. I also tried using a different browser and clearing all browser data. I ended up backing up my config, downloading a new image from firmware updater and flashing it (without keeping settings) and reinstalled all my packages and redoing all of my settings. My guess is either the image didn’t build correctly or didn’t flash correctly because of a package I had installed. Everything is working now on this device.

Many thanks to everyone who worked on this release!

Pair of Netgear WAX206 (mediatek/mt7622) upgraded without issues from 24.10.2. Used local imagebuilder, kept config.

One unit is a typical wired+wireless router connecting to ISP modem on its WAN port. Between the two units is a trunked (4 VLANs) segment over an unmanaged switch. The second unit is configured, for now, only as a wired switch/bridge where a couple of the VLANs are each exposed, untagged, to a different port.

54

for me unfortunately lan port does not work. I rolled back to 23.5.5

r4s 4gb ram sd

55

Can confirm after testing the latest build also didn't address the issue, Shame really what a great device as well, Oh well guess it will go back away

56

On the luci status page after the upgrade I get a checkbox with the text “Look online for upgrades upon status page load“. I haven’t seen that before.

57

I believe this is due to having luci-app-attendedsysupgrade installed.

Was my first ever upgrade on OpenWrt, and it went smoothly on the ER605 v2. No issues, just simply worked. Incredibly impressed.

Upgraded COMFAST CF-EW71 v2 and looks good.

I have Xiaomi AX3000T. After upgrading from 24.10.2 to 24.10.3 my 5 Ghz Wi-fi stopped working. It happened because WPA3-SAE was removed from security settings as I later found out. Is this intentional?
Edit: It's because I have wpad instead of wpad-basic-mbedtls.
