Booted into the test image.
There wasn't even a wireless configuration section in the webui.
I ssh'd into it and there isn't a /etc/config/wireless.

No, only mention of vfs anything is

I think -2 is not found, don't recall off hand, but that be the issue I guess.

Thanks for testing.  I'm going to remove the images.zip at this time.

Ok there's is no /lib/firmware/mwlwifi directory. I think that firmware is kinda essential. Just a little...

You're welcome. I'm free to test anytime on my device btw.

No HW NAT?

I've checked ARMADA 38x technical specs. And it looks like there is no any HW related to NAT in the SOC.
SGMIIs just write data (probably with DMA) to the memory
Interrupt is raised on the CPU
CPU analyses the frame
Strips down the payload
Recreates a frame
Sends the frame to TX buffer of other SGMII

That is completely SW.
What kind of NAT performance should we get?
What makes this SOC so special to be called Embedded Network Micro-controller?
Excuse me for my pessimism.

Without resolution you couldn't go to any websites.  By chance did you ping 8.8.8.8 or some other internet address to verify?

I do know that some people have two DNS servers configured so that if one goes down or stops responding the other takes over. Have you tried configuring for redundancy?

Hi David, thxs for reply,

I solved the problem with the "firstboot" command, and everything worked again.
On the redundant configuration, I had not tried, but I'll do, how do I remove the DNS server from my ISP and use an open DNS.

Tomorrow I will be replacing the Routers, I will bring the WRT3200 home where I can do more tests with it, and leave the WRT1900 in the company as it is working very fast and stable with the build r6365 kernel 4.14.23

I'm going to install this VS 3200 and test the homework, because in the home network and more practical for testing.

By the logs I thought you were already using dnscrypt-proxy?

*EDIT*

It's been a while since I've set this up, but if your clients are already going to the router for DNS resolution, then go to DNS/DHCP and find DNS Forwarding, and put in the 2 OpenDNS servers you want to use.

hi guys,

David made the routers exchange, the WRT1900ACS v2 running the build r6365, this commanding the network of work on a fiber link of 200 / 100mbps, where I have a media of up to 50 devices connected between wired and wifif, merged between adroid, ios , win and some Macs.

I use this vs at home and found it very stable and with a good speed in the WIFI and network, so I decided to leave the router at work and bring the WRT3200 v1 to the home network, a fiber link of 100 / 30mbps always having two TV smarts , running IPTV via SMARTIPTV application, 2 smart phones, and 3 to 4 computers, but I have more flexibility to test new builds, so I think it helps more.

My hoke question is, which build do I install on the WRT3200, I leave the r6365 or install another, and if so, which one would you recommend?

a curiosity, I noticed that both firmwares (1900 and 3200) have the same size (16mb), and I believe the same packages installed, but the 1900 tells me that it has on average 83% free memory, and the 3200 tells me that only 59% is free, both with the standard installation, what is the reason for this difference?

Thank you once again for the attention.

EDIT..:

friends please, could anyone explain to me the advantage of using kerner 4.14.x, instead of 4.9.x

I saw that in WRT3200 the 3 # radio already has how to activate, does it work? brings any real benefit?

in which of the Vs would I find a WIFI driver that is faster and stable?

@Villeneuve, I noticed that your build does not have PPPoE, what is the correct package to install?

EDIT: I'm sorry for my hurried post. I now realized thet the full dnsmasq is called dnsmasq-full and I had'n it installed. Now I did it and it seems that ipset support is there.

Hi,
With a previous davidc build I used this script: https://forum.lede-project.org/t/vpn-po … ive-1/1422
Now I wanted to reinstall it but probably latest (full) dnsmasq needs to be compiled with ipset support cause I receive this error in log:

daemon.crit dnsmasq[5024]: recompile with HAVE_IPSET defined to enable ipset directives at line

Is there this package anywhere without the needs to reinstall the whole image?

Thanks.

Do you have a computer connected to an ethernet port on the router? You need to use that computer to install the new firmware file to the router. What computer operating system do you have connected to the ethernet port of the router?

The biggest problem would be flashing the wrong file. Have you looked at davidc502 download page? Be sure to choose the caimen for the WRT1200AC. https://davidc502sis.dynamic-dns.net/

What do you see when you look in the 'backup-flash firmware' tab? Do you see a place to enter the name of the file you want to install?

Maybe you could get whoever installed the r4222 initially to install newer firmware. Installing the system.img will require you setup the router from scratch and that requires a good understanding of configuring the router because the wifi will be turned off and you need to choose a ssid and password.

An easier option would be to try to install the sysupgrade.bin with your current settings preserved. That might be a better option if configuring the router from scratch is too challenging. An even easier option would be to leave the router with the old firmware if you are happy with the wifi now.

Breaking the WRT1200AC is not easy while a moderate amount of skill is needed to keep things working properly and not for the faint hearted.

I know the flash process must be over ethernet cable, How do i start from scratch?, i already have backups

Thanks

hello friends,

i need one more help big_smile

How do I set the 2.4 radio to use the 40 MHz channels? I have already tried all possible combinations of settings in LUCI, it shows as if it were fixed at 40MHz, it appears in the file wireless.conf, as shown below, but in reality the network continues to work at 20MHZ.

I do not know how to go about setting this.
