i own a r6260 and want to install the current 19.07.
I tried to download to factory.img linked in tech-page for install using oem-gui but the link results in a 404.
Then i checked the download page and i have seen that there are no files for the r6260.
After more reading i found that r6350 and r6850 are identically and found the files for 6350 in the download section.
As there are no factory files means that i have to flash with another way as using the oem-gui?
So my question is: Is that right? And any hints for next steps?
At least,i have a problem with my cable modem (Technicolor CGA2121, Docsis3):
Every Time i restart the router i need to reboot the modem too otherwise the wan-interface didnt get an ip.
I found the "Use Broadcast" Flag in advanced options for Wan-Interface but it doesnt solve the Problem.
Since your problem (OpenWrt installation on R6260) seems to be solved, please consider marking this topic as [Solved]. See How to mark a topic as [Solved] for a short how-to.
Are you sure it is safe to install the r6350 version on the r6260? I might order a r6260 myself, but only want to use a stable release, and not a snapshot one for compatibility with installing new packages as needed. Don't want to run my own package repository. Does the stable release support the mt7615 wifi already? Or is that a snapshot only thing?
Throughput isn't a big issue for me. If it can manage 100+ mbit it's perfectly fine. I was just wondering if it was included at all, and if stability is good enough for daily use. Furthermore, I am still very much curious whether @anon4457646 or anyone can verify that it is possible and safe to flash the r6350 image on the r6260.
By the way, what router are you currently using @Borromini? Did you retire your DIR-860L?
@Mushoz I replaced it with an Asus RT-AC57U (MT7621 as well, but wall-mountable and external antennas; I think the specs are pretty identical). The lack of 'wall mountability' turned out to be more of a nuisance with the DIR-860L than I expected.
I have a DIR-878 as well, which I will be switching to once MT7615 support matures. I can share a patch for 19.07 that backports support for it if you're interested, the PR for master is still pending.
