Topic: OpenWRT builds (CC) fully featured for various routers

The content of this topic has been archived between 7 Oct 2014 and 5 May 2018. Unfortunately there are posts – most likely complete pages – missing.

I would like to install your build.

My new router is WD My Net N600 with stock firmware.

What should I do in order to install your build openwrt-ar71xx-generic-mynet-n600-squashfs-factory.bin or openwrt-ar71xx-generic-mynet-n600-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin?

What is the difference?

Thanks in advance!!!

You should only flash openwrt-ar71xx-generic-mynet-n600-squashfs-factory.bin.
The other file is for upgrading to a newer version of OpenWRT.

Flashed yesterday, configured and working. The only problem at the moment is wireless keeps crashing when I enable 40Mhz mode (HT40) in 2.4GHz and appears Mode: Unknown.
Everytime I turn it on, the wifi goes to Unknown mode and it appears as disabled on LuCI.

Thanks.

Thanks mk13139 for building the fully featured trunk build! Are you able to share your .config that you use for the builds as well? I wish to use that as a start to tweak my own image.

Thank you very much for doing such great work for the community.

One hint: the output of ./scripts/diffconfig.sh would be much more informative than the full .config. It is much shorter, as it lists only the changed values. And it can be used as a seed .config for "make menuconfig" or "make defconfig".

I'm having a problem installing wpad for radius support. Everytime I install the package, it breaks the wireless and will refuse to stay up. in luci it shows: radio0: Unknown "OpenWrt".

The reason I want to install the fully functional wpad over wpad-mini is to use the router with packetfence.

Ok so your builds so far have been stellar! I would like to know where in the heck could I find a revert file for the archer C7 V2 so i can flash openwrt on the two I have.

I wanna be able to see the range comparison between stock and openwrt and lan to wan performance.

I have this on my wr842n and its rock solid stable never need to upgrade hehe..  and the wr1043nd v2 same ill stay with the current trunk its solid also.


Appreciate your effort you put in to this.

If you have trouble making this, I can make a revert file for you wink

Hi there.

You really do a great job.
My Netgear finally just works and can now even connect to 3G is my adsl is down.

One request thought, could you perhaps fix the Model Name:

Status
System
Hostname    WNDR3700v2
Model    NETGEAR NDR3700v2
Firmware Version     OpenWrt by mk13139 r40861 / LuCI Trunk (svn-r10248)
Kernel Version    3.10.36
Local Time    Tue May 27 19:50:32 2014
Uptime    0h 2m 8s
Load Average    1.26, 0.62, 0.23

Again, awesome job!!!!

Please, I dont have a linux box up... i cant run the DD command or I would. I ordered a cable to unbrick my router from the ddwrt v2 and a few mini fanless pc's just they arn't here yet sad

I've put the files into the 'Revert files' folder.

dd is also available for Windows: http://www.chrysocome.net/dd

I didn't know that lol learn something everyday. Thanks I appreciate your effort and help with the community here.

There is no need to use explicitly 'dd'. You can use whatever hex editor you like, as long as you remove exactly correct amount of bytes.

latest build bricked the wr8 brought it back with the last may update.

The latest version r40995 floods the log of my WR1043ND V1 with messages like this one:

Fri Jun  6 11:04:58 2014 daemon.warn dnsmasq-dhcp[1731]: DHCP packet received on eth0.2 which has no address

Nor adding except-interface=eth0.2 to /etc/dnsmasq.conf or adding list 'notinterface' 'eth0.2' to /etc/config/dhcp seems to work. Any suggestions?

Edit: all versions after r40820 (including it) seems to be affected. I've reverted back to r40572, which doesn't seems to have such problem.

Edit2: the problem exists in the latest version r41036 as well. I've already reopened this ticket and it seems I'm not the only one with such problem.

With all the negative feedback, think I better sit out r40995 until the next release.

So far, r41036 work well on my WR1043NDv2.

I'm using the Archer C7 v2 build and I can't seem to get the ath10k module installed because the kernel version isn't exactly the same as what I have and I'm not sure how to update it since I'm using a pivot overlay.

That's normal. The trunk branch is being updated more often than the mk13139's build and these modules simply can't be installed on an older kernel version. My advice is to avoid such installs or ask the OP to include the module(s) in the next build.

I don't see the problem on my WD mynet750 or my TPlink 3600.  Its either fixed in r41036 or my two units/environments dont see the issue.

Strange, because the last post in the ticket is about the same router (TL-WDR3600). Anyway, IMO this is a bug in dnsmasq that hasn't been squashed at all. dnsmasq should obey the config file (/etc/dnsmasq.conf) and ignore the interfaces, specified by "except-interface", but it obviously doesn't.

I'll include kmod-ath10k in the next build.
For now, you can try to use this command:

opkg update
opkg install kmod-ath10k --force-depends

I don't have this problem either.. However you can try to open a ticket about it wink

Good day,
I have a tp-link 842 v2 which I have install BB r40572. I want to install iptables-mod-extra but it fails because of the kernel, kernel (= 3.10.36-1-404772c42219692ff867cc0f88cd6980).
Is any way to install it?

I have an archer C7 V1 with a Compex 9880 v2 and the --force didn't work. Same error. Could you add the ath10k to the C7v1 build as well for the people who switched out the card?

Buying the V2 card has so far ended up being a waste of money.
