Hey guys,
I'm new to the management of the firmware running on my Linksys WRT1900AC v2 and I wanted to know what's the route you guys reccomend I follow?
I know I tried to using its own frimware upgrade but it warns me it's a major upgrade and it doesn't recommend doing it but I can force it and deal with the outcome.
Is there a more predictable way that would also lead to less things I need to fix after that? Thank you!
Is your device currently running 22.03?
What is the output of ubus call system board (do this via an ssh session)?
You should be upgrading to 24.10 since that is the currently supported version... 23.05 is EOL. Generally speaking, there shouldn't be an issue upgrading from 22.03 > 23.05 while preserving your config, but the upgrade from 22.03 > 24.10 is not supported while keeping settings.
If you'd like us to review your config, we can evaluate how far from the defaults your current configuration is, and thus how much work it will be to configure from scratch.
Please connect to your OpenWrt device using ssh and copy the output of the following commands and post it here using the "Preformatted text </> " button (red circle; this works best in the 'Markdown' composer view in the blue oval):
Remember to redact passwords, VPN keys, MAC addresses and any public IP addresses you may have:
ubus call system board
cat /etc/config/network
cat /etc/config/wireless
cat /etc/config/dhcp
cat /etc/config/firewall
attended sysupgrade should work fine for you
I don't have access to that router at the moment to get the output requested but I was hoping to make the upgrade process maybe carry over the configuration if I do 2 smaller leaps as opposed to 1 big.
I will check the documentation for assisted Sysupgrade. Thank you!
Upgrade successful. Thank you!
