Plusnet Router Kernel Panic

Installing and Using OpenWrt

I am getting a kernel Panic on my plusnet router running openwrt

[ 2900.976751] bQUASHFS error: xz decompression failed, data probably corrupt
[ 2900.982264] Kernel panic - not syncing: stack-protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: 0x80085fa4
[ 2900.991124] Rebooting in 3 seconds..

Sorry its me again, Please can I have a fresh start, everything was running fine until a few weeks ago, nothing has been touched, the plusnet router has been running at 180-190Mbps like I wanted
I understand everyone's frustration, I will try and be better about what I say, and keep my posts to a minimum

I just want to make sure @slh and @psherman are happy with this post as well, that why I tagged you both, If not let me read your message before removing my account, I am sorry for everything, and hopefully this will be it, when this is fixed, if it can be fixed, looks like the issue is with the filesystem

update
its dead
I got a load of UBI errors, tried to run reboot, got an I/O error

now after rebooting with the power switch, get a red light and "Error: can't get kernel image"

is it worth trying again by totally reinstalling openwrt
or would I be better with a different device

What you need is a commercial mesh product so that you can get support from the manufacturer. We are no longer able to help you.

I have a new plan, maybe it will work, maybe it won’t
TP-link range extender mode
We know everything I currently have can’t do above 110Mbps because of hardware limitations, but 1300 Mbps max speed on 5GHz RE450, yes thats actually true

Would that be enough, would probably be half the connection link speed, but I will try connecting my current RE450 to the router like this, then if it works buy another RE450, put the original one in AP mode again

problem solved hopefully

That all I have though of at the moment
So no openwrt for now, just wanted to update you on my plans

And just tested the plan and its going to work

Update: bought the second RE450 everything works
I though it would have been like the RE305 and RE200, but because its link speed is higher there isn't as much speed loss
I wish I had tried this at the start of the year

I may your openwrt for something else one day, so I might use this forum again, probably not for a while

thank you for everyone's advice before
