Greetings,

Newbie here.  A year ago I installed OpenWrt and am very satisfied, and now I want to upgrade its packages.

However, I have the following issue:

root@OpenWrt:~# opkg update
Downloading [url]http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ar71xx/packages/packages/Packages.gz.[/url]
wget: server returned error: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
Collected errors:
 * opkg_download: Failed to download [url]http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ar71xx/packages/packages/Packages.gz,[/url] wget returned 1.

Obviously, the URL is some configuration file (do not know which one; please write to tell me), is wrong.  When one goes to http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ar71xx, the following show up:

How can I determine which to use?  I search the web to no vail.

I particularly seek to see if the latest version of Luci allows me to block easily, by the press of a button, Internet access to a specific device.  I wanted to see if this feature was implemented in the latest packages.

Best regards,
Hans Deragon

hi,guy.
for the generic and nand, they are two basic types of flash memory.
Here is the url:http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/techref/flash.layout

Thansk mynamegyz for the reply, but it does not help me to figure out which one I should use for my router.

Anybody can explain why the default configuration of opkg is not pointing to the right URL and which of the three I should use?  I can I determine that?

mikrotik I only used for mikrotik HW. Otherwise, generic, in case openwrt was not specially built for my HW, like ...n600... etc. because of special patches.

@deragon

check http://wiki.openwrt.org/ for your device and see what kind of flash it has and chose accordingly(NOR=generic)
regarding  the pah.. you might be on an older distro build that had that path.. now changed..
