Wavlink WL-WN530HG4 installation support

hi everyone

followed the installation steps from
https://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt/openwrt.git;a=commit;h=2a860bf4f4d5e76bd61235eeade834b6f8e2c9fa

used the initramfs to update from the stock firmware

https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/21.02.3/targets/ramips/mt7620/openwrt-21.02.3-ramips-mt7620-wavlink_wl-wn530hg4-initramfs-kernel.bin

the used the squashfs to update using sysupgrade

https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/21.02.3/targets/ramips/mt7620/openwrt-21.02.3-ramips-mt7620-wavlink_wl-wn530hg4-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin

my issue is

i get Luci using initramfs installation , but no persistence of configuration
when i update using squashfs , i can ssh to the AP but no Luci

which file should i use to update and still have luci

thx

problem solved

dont use the firmware listed on the link above

use the firmware listed from the firmware selected tool

https://firmware-selector.openwrt.org/?version=21.02.2&target=ramips%2Fmt7620&id=wavlink_wl-wn530hg4

Those are different versions...so something may be wrong between firmware.

recovery mode on WL-WN530HG4

power up while holding the reset button
connect ethernet to port 1
tftp server to listen at 192.168.10.100
file name: firmware.bin

used this version to solve the problem

https://firmware-selector.openwrt.org/?version=21.02.3&target=ramips%2Fmt7620&id=wavlink_wl-wn530hg4

That link is different...

21.02.2 vs 21.02.3

So not sure if that means you posted the wrong one.
