Topic: WZR-HP-G300NH(RTL8366RB)-latest Trunk. Switch issue for 100MB devices

The content of this topic has been archived on 26 Apr 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

Hello,

I installed the latest trunk 18-Jan ( http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ar71xx/) on my WZR-HP-G300NH (RTL8366RB).
I see LAN issue.  (similar to https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/10793)

The ethernet switch (ports 1-4) do not work for any 100MB port devices. [ I got DHCP ip to my Laptop Gigabit (1000MB). ]
what may causing this ? is any package missing for switch to detect the 100MB network devices?

Anyone have the working old trunk firmware image for same router ? Backfire 10.3.1 doesn't work with RTL8366RB.
Thanks

And what is the relation to howtos and documentation exactly?

Patch from ticket #10794 worked.. Just compiled new firmware using patch and now  switch worked with 100MB network devices.

Thanks

Willing to test as I appear to have hit the same issue.

Thanks.

A fix has been checked into svn, you can now either wait for the next ar71xx snapshots or build a custom version.

I can confirm changeset 29844 fixes the RTL8366RB issue for TP-Link WR1043ND.
No more Switch ack timeout messages smile Thanks.
