I set up 2 wifi devices in Client mode both are connected and everything is working

Luci > Network > Wifi

Note that the network to which we are connected is shown under "Associated Stations", and that the "IPv4-Address" is shown as "?".

see http://www.gypsy-designs.com/098.jpg

Is there a changelog anywhere to see what is different for each build here:

http://buildbot.openwrt.org:8010/builders/mvebu

https://dev.openwrt.org/timeline

pooh - i was able to get my AC6210 adapter working - not sure how. i tried flashing  the stock firmware and reinstalling the driver, now it works.

i wish i hadn't bought a new one

Temp monitoring with logging would be great, same as special software to load router to 100%. I'd like to modify cooling system but need these 2 things to estimate efficiency)

Slightly off topic, and im happy to post elsewhere if need be.
I think suspect its an almost complete coincidence, but i've just blown through 120gb of my broadband quota with 5 days of the month to go.

I haven't blown my quota in probably 3 Years, so its interesting that i have in the first 2 months of having the wrt1900ac.

Do any of you guys use a particular package / application on openwrt to monitor traffic to/from WAN to specific IPs?

I've been googling, and other than the basic instantaneous readouts, many of those that can monitor data over time seem to be either very old, or no specific package pre-built for trunk.

My gut feel is moving to gigabit ethernet, and Wireless AC, everyones youtube streams in the household seem to now automatically download at 1080p when available....i don't think they did before.
Having said that i want to make sure it's not something more sinister (virus, hijacked wifi etc), or a particular family member using more than they should

The downside of flashy new tech!.....

thanks in advance for any suggestions
cheers

the "stress" command/package will allow you to load either or both cpu cores to increase temps.

use /sbin/fan_ctrl.sh as a basis for logging:

cut -c1-2 /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon2/temp1_input
cut -c1-2 /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/temp1_input
cut -c1-2 /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/temp2_input

will give you CPU, DDR and WIFI temperatures (for 3.18.x kernel; 4.0 has slightly different paths I believe - check your fan_ctrl.sh).

luci-app-statistics and luci-app-vnstat are two (different) starting points for graphing.

Hostname OpenWrt
Model Linksys WRT1900AC
Firmware Version OpenWrt Chaos Calmer r45578 / LuCI (git-15.113.66125-f322842) 
Kernel Version 3.18.11

on linksys firmware the fastest i get is 61.7 Mbits/sec

on openwrt the fastest i get is 47.3 Mbits/sec

i am getting a new adapter on monday hopefully this will fix my problem. the adapter is on a crappy acer laptop with no usb3 but i'd still expect to get faster than this.

my 5 year old son dropped the laptop - hdd broken - then he pulled some keys off (new keyboard now has a missing b and the spacebar doesn't work on the left) - i dropped it and my dvd-rom fell out. And now for some reason the laptop freezes. i have a refurbished hp laptop coming  on tuesday. hopefully the combination of new laptop with usb3 and new adapter will get me some decent speeds.

Does the latest Kaloz build have LUCI pre-installed, do I have to do anything different installing his build than I did with installing the latest mvebu build? I would like to try a 4.0 kernel.

How do you get to these settings?

config wifi-device 'radio0'
        option type 'mac80211'
        option channel '4'
        option hwmode '11ng'
        option path 'soc/soc:pcie-controller/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/0000:02:00.0'
        option htmode 'HT40+'
        option country '00'
        option bursting '1'
        option ff '1'
        option compression '1'
        option noscan '1'

and these:

list 'ht_capab' 'SHORT-GI-40'
list 'ht_capab' 'TX-STBC'
list 'ht_capab' 'RX-STBC1'
list 'ht_capab' 'DSSS_CCK-40'

Maybe in Collectd eh

So the router acted up (using Kaloz april 23 build) so I turn it off and switch it back on. And now every time i go to 192.168.1.1 it downloads a "luci" file. So i can't get to the web interface anymore....

When i open the "luci" file it has

 #!/usr/bin/lua
require "luci.cacheloader"
require "luci.sgi.cgi"
luci.dispatcher.indexcache = "/tmp/luci-indexcache"
luci.sgi.cgi.run()

how do I fix this?

I tried to opkg install luci in ssh but does the same thing.

Still happening
Kaloz Apr23
Trunk Apr26 (just barfed after about 12 hours)

I wonder though why some people are facing the freezes and others are not. In my case, i've never had mine freeze on me and im running alot of extra stuff on my router, python apps, other cron jobs, scripts,etc....I've have been compiling my images from trunk for the last 3 weeks or so...Currently running r45566 - 3.18.11.
I usually keep going for days(have gone over a week) until i reboot the router on purpose..

I hate to clog this thread, but I don't  know if if this is an issue with our build or if things are working as intended...

Did my first upgrade via sysupgrade over the weekend, and fo0und that no settings were preserved.  Apparently the default /etc/sysupgrade.conf file doesn't by default contain what should be preserved, just a few commented lines.  Shouldn't the default file actually contain some barebones defaults on what should be preserved during an upgrade?  How does one know what is important to preserve and what isn't?

Also, presumably a separate issue, after the upgrade, several packages that had been installed had to be reinstalled.  Can sysupgraded handle reinstalling packages, or is there some other way people are handling this?  I know I can generate a list of installed packages, but I can't see an easy way to know what the differences from stock are.

Lastly, totally separate issue.  I'm testing the WRT1900AC on my existing Lan, so the WAN IP on my unit is 192.168.1.123, and the LAN address on the 1900 is the default 192.168.1.1, my home router is 192.168.1.2, so all IPs are unique.  Even though the 1900 is configured to respond to ping on the WAN port, it doesn't, and my attempts at opening ports are apparently failing, a port scan isn't showing any open ports on the WAN IP.  I'm thinking that there may be some issue because both LAN and WAN are using the same IP range?  I ran out of time this weekend to play with reconfiguring that, thought I'd check here to see if this was a known issue or not.  I'm sure I'm not the only one here with multiple OpenWRT devices on a single network. 

I get around the freezing issue by power cycling the router post sysupgrade:

1. sysupgrade (reboot)
2. opkg update and install luci etc. (reboot)
3. power cycle

I was doing that for a while and thought it might be superfluous.
Will try again. Thx.

I do have a cronjob setup to reboot the router every Friday night (Old habbit, from DD-wrt days). No real reason for it but no harm either i guess.

I gave up on the 3.18 builds weeks ago as I also would get periodic lockups, not being able to go beyond 1-2 days. It was not easy to troubleshoot when you're also impacting the rest of the family.

I've been running 4.0 without issue. My current uptime is now 10 days.

I had asked the question before but never really got an answer...Is there any performance (speed) differences between 3.18 vs 4.0 kernel?

I haven't done much performance testing alirz, I just know there is a difference in stability at least in my situation.

There shouldn't be:
Linux 4.0 is just 3.19 renamed as 4.0 before the rc1 version release.
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel … 1deccff539
There is no quantum leap in functionality or performance. There are handy features like live kernel patching, but nothing special on networking performance front.

In my experience a reboot does not delay/stop the router from hanging (one would think that it would but....)

A power cycle gets me 100 % up time until the next sysupgrade (usually within a few days).

Cheers
