can i use your firmware? i just need it for mesh purposes. bat protocol
Of course you can, but it would be better if you compiled a stable version, e.g. 23.05.2
For your convenience, I have attached a working compilation script:
#!/bin/sh
rm -f -r openwrt
git clone https://git.openwrt.org/openwrt/openwrt.git
cd openwrt
git pull
git branch -a
git checkout v23.05.2
./scripts/feeds update -a
./scripts/feeds install -a
wget https://patch-diff.githubusercontent.com/raw/openwrt/openwrt/pull/4327.patch
git apply 4327.patch -v
wget https://github.com/namiltd/openwrt/commit/f5ed6c2e5ca18ffc48d39226f6e9a5d44a940098.patch
git apply f5ed6c2e5ca18ffc48d39226f6e9a5d44a940098.patch -v
wget https://github.com/namiltd/openwrt/commit/12ee84e361860cb59f151b14c4aa5c29b1500321.patch
git apply 12ee84e361860cb59f151b14c4aa5c29b1500321.patch -v

you are a champ. thanks, a ton
A little note: Since there are problems with the performance of 2.4GHz WiFi for Mediatek MT7620 with enabled 802.11w Management Frame Protection, use WPA2-PSK security. For 5GHz this problem does not occur, so you can enable WPA3-SAE or WPA2-PSK/WPA3-SAE security mode.
Additionally, limit the WiFi power to that allowed in your country because openwrt does not take into account the antenna gain for this router (5dBi).

not successful in flashing recovery file. Its upload full but nothing happens. any insights.
Ethernet port is not coming up. connecting through wifi only.
Please check again as I have updated the compilation script in Support for new Archer c5 v4 - #554 by mietekn
tried, not working. what might be the issue ? do you have the sysupgrade image that i can try
can i try your sysupagrade just for my satisfaction?
I don't have version 23.05.2 compiled at the moment. I have a Mercusys AC12G v1 router (with soldered 8MB flash) which is very similar in hardware to Archer C5 v4 and compiles for it. However, it has different LEDs, buttons and no USB.
ohhh. thanks for the help. i was going round and round. thought a fresh compile from another system would be a fresh start..
I have compiled versions 23.05.2 for Archer c5 v4: https://easyupload.io/0kayb2
thanks for a fresh compile. still no luck
swconfig list
Found: switch0 - mt7620
Switch switch0 has an unknown topology - the VLAN settings might not be accurate.
You have exactly the same problem as AbraKadabra, different
rtl8367 chip version.
any work around?
I do not know about that.
It's possible that switch is something like rtl8370 (8 PHY + 2 GMII/RGMII) chip. Partially supported by rtl8367 (not rtl8367b!) phy-driver
