[Ramips MT7621] FreeWRT 20.12 - Master branch based

Thanks @apocalypse I will give a try when I get some free time.

I have a Netgear R6230. I have to use the firmware for the R6220 as there is no R6230 yet for OpenWRT. I tried this firmware, 20.12.2 i think it was. It had horrible Ethernet speed. Only about 250Mb's, I played around with packet steering as well as hardware/software offloading and it didn't help. In fact those options made things worse. I use this router as a stupid wireless access point and have it setup to get a DHCP address from my main router via gigabit Ethernet. This works great on 19.07.7 but in this firmware I was unable to make DHCP work. Every time I tried to use DHCP instead of static, the router would lockup and my computer would no longer sense an Ethernet connection. I never even got to try the wireless out. At this point I decided to go back to 19.07.7. I very stupidly neglected to get any logs for you before downgrading to 19.07.7 or I would have posted them. My bad on that one. I will keep a breast of this thread as it interests me greatly and if you release updated firm wares I will try her again. This R6230 is not a main piece of my network, its one of my hobby routers and Id love to give your firm wares a second shot in the future. I also have a Netgear R6120 I can fool around with. Same hobby router situation applies to this as well.

Again, my apologies about the lack of logs.

Seems that the wireless performance is a little worst with FreeWRT 20.12.2.

It seems that a good boost with AES128/256CBC and SHA1/256 with that patch, can it be added to firmware?

Try 100 channel, in my case it about 500 mbit...

When trying to add QMI modem (and any of new interfaces), there is an error:

An error occurred while saving the form:

section_id is not defined

Seems that related to:

Is the procedure for installing your build the same as described in the official mi3g topic on the openwrt wiki?

Yes, it is the same procedure. Just make sure you use the correct files.

Could you add Unielec 7621-06 16M as a target for the EIP test build?
Thanks

For now, the EIP93 driver seems to be non-functional for normal use (userspace). It only works with benchmarks. Anyway I will make a build that includes it with all devices, for those who want to try it.

I'm also going to try a overclock patch@1100MHz. I will test it and if it works without issues i will include it in the next builds.

@apocalypse hi thanks for the job!

I am using FreeWRT on Xiaomi Router 3 Pro and today I found that there is no WireGuard package in the FreeWRT repository, can you add it?

It seems a source problem, since version 20.12.1 wireguard has not been compiled. You can try to install the wireguard ipk from version 20.12.1. I will try to find out what happens and that the next version compiles wireguard package without errors.

EDIT: I have found this commit: https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/commit/06351f1bd0455abacb700db5098bb798f66948fc#diff-e8497a5bb53e37643f8ebbf0e198e283df5ebfa38d43f7dbffb22c

It appears that wireguard has been moved to the kernel tree. This is why the sources for the wireguard package are no longer found in packages/network/services/wireguard/

Now in its place is available kmod-wireguard.

Does this build provide anything over the latest OpenWRT snapshot? If I understand the first post right, this firmware was made back before the OpenWRT snapshots switched to DSA, but it seems like DSA is implemented now.

It's already with DSA. And works very stable on MT7621 hardware switch.

would it be possi ble to add support for DIR-3060?
