Hello
My dear brothers, I have an Observa VH4032N router with openwrt version 17.1.6 installed, connected to the Sky WiFi antenna. The problem is that when I install a newer version of openwrt on the router, as soon as the phone connects to its wifi, the router automatically reboots and remains in this state, knowing that version 17.1.6 is on it. It works well with it, but the newer version causes me the same problem. I tried several versions and the same problem. Is there a solution? May God reward you.
Are you running a vendor fork currently?
What is the output of
ubus call system board
Based on the information in the device info page, the official support for this device is rather lacking due to the Broadcom chipset and very limited FLOSS support.
Wifi will be barely functional and the DSL functionality will not work at all.

Therefore, if you install an official version of OpenWrt, it is expected that things will not work well -- this device is not recommended for OpenWrt. It is quite likely that the 17.01 version you are running is a vendor fork if wifi and dsl are working.
You have three main options:
- reach out to the manufacturer for support
- consider other firmware options -- DD-WRT had managed to work with Broadcom to include the closed-source blobs for their chipsets.
- Purchase newer hardware that is properly supported by OpenWrt.
Unfortunately, there is no official support for it. Thank you, my dear brother

Yeah, I think that is a vendor modified fork of the old LEDE/OpenWrt code.
If you want to run official OpenWrt, your best bet would be to select something that is well supported by the official project -- take a look at the hardware recommendations section of the forum and/or the table of hardware.
