Quick question my WRT1900ACS/WRT3200ACM to 19.7.3 and mwlwifi

For Developers

Hello Devs / @eduperez,

I read one of your replies as seen below:

If i upgrade to 19.7.3 (from 19.7.2) using the image obtained from the link below will it upgrade also mwlwifi? Or do I need a development build to get that new version of mwlwifi?

http://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/19.07.3/targets/mvebu/cortexa9/openwrt-19.07.3-mvebu-cortexa9-linksys_wrt1900acs-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin

Got excited by your response that it reliability is "rock solid" :slight_smile: Also someone mentioned in the thread that 802.11r may work. :pray: I need this feature as having "sticky wifi" issues when roaming from our ground floor (WRT1900ACSv2) to the bedrooms (WRT3200ACM) upstairs :frowning:

The reason why I ask is that though I am not a noob with regards to Openwrt I am also not that much of an expert with it so I cannot debug and resolve issues.

Sincerely,

Vince

The drivers included in 19.07.3 are the latest (or one version before the latest) that are available at the official upstream repo. Then there is a not-so-official version, and a experimental external version.

I would install the stable version, and if everything works as expected, leave it as is. Otherwise, you can try one of the latest updates with my packages.

I do not know which version is on the snapshots, but my packages are not compatible.

Thank you so much @eduperez for taking time to reply :smile:

Ok I can try your mwlwifi version. Is it as easy as downloading the file then replacing the one in mine?

Sincerely,

Vince

Yes, pretty much that is all: there are detailed instructions at https://github.com/eduperez/mwlwifi_LEDE/blob/master/README.md.
