It is not my intention to provide updated builds on a regular basis, support from my side will be limited to answering questions and providing information about the contents of this build.
I provide this build in support of all the great developers and others contributing to the development of OpenWRT/LEDE. I especially appreciate the work of @dissent1, on the ipq806x targets and on the R7800 in particularly, on which parts of this build are based upon. Also, it is very good to see others contributing as well @ptpt52
Sysupgrade-image added, link updated in the first post.
Unfortunately i am a stupid beginner (linux and LEDE) and i am not able to install your image coming from the LEDE install image lede-17.01.4-ipq806x-R7800-squashfs-factory.img. The "flash new firmware image" page says that the openwrt-ipq806x-R7800-squashfs-factory_STA110_DSA.img is not a supported format.
Is somebody willing to guide me a little bit? I also tried to build the image from @hnyman but failed as well (not sure what to do with all the files after using the script from @hnyman).
@bouwew:
This might not be interesting but in comparison to lede-17.01.4-ipq806x-R7800-squashfs-factory.img i am getting nearly 400Mbps instead of 30-50mbps with 5Ghz on my google pixel. So Wifi is working great. Not sure about DSA and other stuff (still a beginner).
The R7800 seems like a beast. Thanks to you @hnyman and @bouwew. Cheers!
After trying its compilation, I must say that it does not work for me. I need to have the vlan enabled to tag my ftth connection. If in your next compilations you have this, I'll be happy to try your compilation again.
@robertogr Plz see this post and the posts around it on how to set-up a vlan with the present DSA-configuration: Netgear R7800 exploration (IPQ8065, QCA9984)
I will not include a vlan in my build, I have no use for it, I think.
Vlan is a standard kernel feature. To tag wan port go to network - services - edit wan - physical settings - select custom interface: wan.X, where X is your vlan tag. So if you want to tag wan with 300 it should be wan.300
Then as I am reading, all the Vlan settings I can do from LUCI? With the compilation of Hnyman I did it directly from Putty, that's why I exatro when I installed this version did not appear anything about it.
Hi, when I change the wan protocol to pppoe, the router freezes and I’m unable to access it, only a reset cures this issue, any ideas? My isp requires pppoe. Regards
Correct, DSA is not in the sta110-branch. I added it separately. You can find the relevant info in the Netgear R7800 exploration (IPQ8065, QCA9984)-thread.
I am testing image based on @hnyman 's DSA build and ended up with strange behavior:
devices connected to wired untaged ports of access point with DSA build are able to obtain DHCP config from router connected to VLAN trunk but at layer 3 are unable to communicate through that trunk: can't ping router nor anything connected to it
wireless devices connected to the same access point have access to the group of the devices described above but also to the router and everything connected to it
Here is my config from access point:
config interface 'loopback'
option ifname 'lo'
option proto 'static'
option ipaddr '127.0.0.1'
option netmask '255.0.0.0'
config globals 'globals'
option ula_prefix 'fdc3:7364:38c6::/48'
option packet_steering '1'
config interface 'lan'
option type 'bridge'
option proto 'static'
option netmask '255.255.255.0'
option ipv6 '0'
option ipaddr '10.0.0.2'
option gateway '10.0.0.1'
option hostname 'accesspoint'
option ifname 'wan.1 lan1 lan2 lan3 lan4.1'
option delegate '0'
config device
option type '8021q'
option ifname 'wan'
option vid '1'
option name 'wan.1'
config device
option type '8021q'
option ifname 'wan'
option vid '3'
option name 'wan.3'
config device
option type '8021q'
option ifname 'lan4'
option vid '1'
option name 'lan4.1'
config device
option type '8021q'
option ifname 'lan4'
option vid '3'
option name 'lan4.3'
config interface 'guest'
option proto 'none'
option ifname 'wan.3 lan4.3'
option type 'bridge'
for that reason @jow implemented earlier with non-DSA the default VLANs, so that all default switch configs included a numbered VLAN for lan and wan, like eth0.1 and eth1.2. That decreased the soft-bricks tremendously.
Right now with DSA, we are not generating any explicit switch config at all, so this gets ignored, I think.
(With R7800 I noticed a fixed connection drop immediately when I tried to enable "VLAN filtering". Wlan naturally worked. But there was no reboot loop.)
