Should I update? (SOLVED)

[Moltke]

Hi everyone! Hope you're all having a nice life!
I recently installed firmware OpenWrt 19.07.10 r11427-9ce6aa9d8d / LuCI openwrt-19.07 branch git-22.099.58928-786ebc9 on my TP-LINK Archer C20 v5 and it's working fine. I followed this guide:
https://www2.rigacci.org/wiki/doku.php/doc/appunti/hardware/tl-ac750_archer_c20v5
Now, I noticed there's an upgrade, openwrt-22.03.4-ramips-mt76x8-tplink_archer-c20-v5-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin and I tried updating but got a warning:

I've no idea what it means and would really appreciate any help/guidance in this. Thanks in advance for your answers.

i do not have that device ,but DO NOT KEEP SETTING from 19 version to 22.
also wait a replay from guys that have the device.

[Moltke]

Ok. Got it. Thanks for your reply.

So, I did some reading here around in the forum and found a few posts on this device. This one Upgrading firmware on Archer C20 v5 in particular helped me make up my mind, so I unchecked "keep settings" just as @ercolino suggested, check "force upgrade" hit "continue" and now is running "OpenWrt 22.03.4 r20123-38ccc47687" and so far, so good.

@Moltke

OpenWrt 22.03.4

There's a 22.03.5 too, if you think you can live through another round of excitement

[Moltke]

ha! Yeah, I saw it too, but I wasn't sure whether that was "stable" or "nightly" since here https://openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/archer_c20_v5 only 22.03.4 is listed, is it 22.03.5 "stable" too?

[frollic]

https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/22.03.5/targets/ramips/mt76x8/

no idea why the URL in the wiki's stuck at .4, yes .5 is stable too.

[Moltke]

Cool! I'll give it a try later. Too much excitement for now Thanks!

[Moltke]

Sorry to keep bothering you, but I'm about to try flashing 22.03.5 and am wondering whether I can keep settings this time?

EDIT: I just did, all good.

[frollic]

yes, you can

[Moltke]

Thanks! Yes, I just did. All good.
