Hi
I've just upgraded to version 24.10 (Netgear R7800). Evereything seems to work well, execpt the software. I can't update the softwarelist. The following error occurs:
Downloading https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/24.10.0/targets/ipq806x/generic/packages/Packages.gz https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/24.10.0/targets/ipq806x/generic/packages/Packages.gz
(etc., etc....)
Downloading https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/24.10.0/packages/arm_cortex-a15_neon-vfpv4/telephony/Packages.gz https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/24.10.0/packages/arm_cortex-a15_neon-vfpv4/telephony/Packages.gz
SSL error: NET - Sending information through the socket failed
(....)
What could the problem be?
Thanks for your help! SimSim
Do you have the internet connected to the wan port?
Can you run the following and post the output
ping 1.1.1.1

Thanks for your reply. All my devices have trough the router internet. Ping shows the following:
Is this your main router?
Did you upgrade this from a previous version? If so, what version were you coming from? And did you keep your settings? Is the time on the router correct?
Let's take a quick look at the config.
Please connect to your OpenWrt device using ssh and copy the output of the following commands and post it here using the "Preformatted text </> " button:
ubus call system board
cat /etc/config/network
cat /etc/config/wireless
cat /etc/config/dhcp
cat /etc/config/firewall

Thank you very much for your help!
I upgraded from Open Wrt 23. I don't know which version it was, but the version was a newer one, maybe from autumn 24.
I didn't keep any setting, I did a complete restore. But I used the webinterface for the upgrade
Time is set correct

I don't see anything here that would cause a problem.
What do you get with the following:
ping 151.101.194.132
ping downloads.openwrt.org
wget https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/24.10.0/targets/bcm27xx/bcm2711/packages/Packages.gz
sorry... this should be run from the command line (via ssh) of the router, not your computer.
And the time is correct on the router??
date
(the above should also be run from within an ssh session)
Assuming that the time is indeed correct, I think the problem is IPv6 -- you may not have a functioning IPv6 upstream. In that case...
Delete this:
Then reboot and try again.

Just checked the time and the date. Both are correct. What do I have to do now? I didn't understand your instruction.
Delete the wan6 network interface (from the network config (/etc/config/network) and then reboot. Try again once the router has finished booting.

How can I do that? (Sorry for my stupid question, but I m a beginner)
In LuCI, navigate to Network > Interfaces and then hit the delete button next to wan6. Save and apply. Test again.

That was the solution! Thank you very much! Do I have now any disadvantages?
Nope. If ipv6 wasn’t working, it means your isp doesn’t give you a true dual stack. Deleting the wan6 interface is therefore harmless (and beneficial because of the failure).
