Hi. I previously made this post: Upgrading OpenWRT on Asus AX53U - #2 by brada4. I have an Asus ax53u now running the latest version of OpenWRT. There is this thing where it doesn't connect to wan after booting up. After restarting the interface in luci, it all worked fine...until now. It keeps connecting to wan and dropping the connection all the time, leading to a very annoying cycle. I discovered this when my phone all of a sudden complained about there being no internet. I have a backup tar from the previous version, but I will have to upgrade eventually anyway, right? Also, there are a whole bunch of package upgrades available in luci (this is on the new version, but the packages were installed on the previous one). Could this be the issue or is it something else? I'm very confused.
What is shown in logread ?
And some more:
ubus call system board
ethtool wan
ethtool --show-eee wan
ethtool -a wan

Install one of ethtool packages to see wire speed and features negotiated.
how do i install it if i have no wan?
Add in imagebuilder or firmware-selector. Log does not show logical problem as such.
