Hello, I have just installed OpenWRT 24.10.0 on my TP-Link RE305 v1. It is working...but there is extremely low free disk space. I wasn't even able to finish updating packages that were present by default.
I know it's a 8/64MB device, but this is bit much, no? I have installed only one very small package (few KB). Is this normal? Were partitions created correctly?
Huh, so updating packages is actually discouraged? I understand that, for example in my case, device can run out of free space which would cause trouble, but not keeping the software package up-to-date seems strange to me.
Generally speaking, why wouldn't want you keep packages up-to-date? What is the "correct" way for packages to update then? By updating to newer version of OpenWRT when it's released?
Yes. Precisely. If there is a need to update an individual package, it will be discussed in the announcements section with instructions to do it safely.
I did sysupgrade (kept settings), but I did it by manually downloading sysupgrade package from device's OpenWRT page. After upgrade i just installed luci-proto-relay package (size 2,43KiB).
Hmm..that's a 8/64 device as well. I wonder why storage on your RE200 is almost 3x bigger than on mine RE305..
BTW can I ask what is your setup with RE200? Do you use it as WiFi bridge? If yes, can I ask what performance do you get? I'm asking because I was expecting bit more than 50Mbps.
