1) The emphasis is the problem. I read it as use an old release with broken wifi, if you need wifi use an even older release candidate. Using the current release (15.05.1) is unsupported, expect your device to brick.

2) Opening the case means voiding the warranty, most should avoid that if it can be helped. In case you need a serial console the usb2tll cable should be the recommended method. It's a 5 minutes walk to the next shop which carries them here. If I order one I have it delivered next morning.

Mine is just another voice as well, as you have taken responsibility for that page, yours obviously carries more weight.

3) The corrupted bootloader section is valuable and shouldn't be removed. My point is, the files offerd most likely only work for the v1. Dry testing it on other models will likely brick them. I leave it to nitroshift to confirm or dispute my expectation.

**It slipped my mind when writing the reply below that many members don't reside in the U.S., so please disregard the below if you live outside the U.S.**

I would recommend anyone with questions about an act possibly voiding a warranty, inside or outside the U.S., to read the warranty for the product they have; then determine whether the country they live in either has a policy that allows anything not in the warranty, or disallows anything not exclusively allowed in the terms of the warranty.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm a bit perplexed by your wording... "Opening the case means voiding the warranty... the [USB-TTL] cable should be the recommended method"

The only way to access the serial header is by opening the case. Linksys even made a consumer recommended design change to the WRT series after the WRT1900v1, moving the serial port on the PCB to where it's more easily accessible by consumers (instead of having to remove the blue front casing and top casing, now one only needs to remove the front blue casing).

Who gave you information that opening the case voids the warranty, as whoever did has a factually inaccurate perspective.

Linksys will not provide tech support on a unit running custom firmware, however, this does not affect the hardware warranty.
- Hardware warranties are a legally binding contract under numerous laws, and the bar is set quite high for OEMs to deny hardware warranty claims. Additionally, the burden of proof is on the OEM, and any OEM illegitimately refusing to warranty hardware potentially faces tens, possibly hundreds, of thousands in possible punitive damages should a bad faith claim be lodged in civil court.
  
  Additionally, OEMs could lose their license to sell warranties in individual states should the state's D.o.I revoke or suspend the OEM's license.

Hi @all,
I have a problem with space on my wrt1900acs.
I like to install asterisk18 pbx system but I don't have enough space so I followed instructions on https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/extroot to free up space.
/overlay don't get mounted to /dev/sda2 and i don't know why. Every time after reboot overlay is mounted again to root.
/etc/config/fstab
config mount
        option uuid 'd1e4cc61-99ef-4c05-a93e-e081f24714c2'
        option enabled '1'
        option target '/overlay'
        option fstype 'ext4'
        option options '/overlay'
It appears you used the portion of the wiki dedicated to BB [Barrier Breaker], versus CC [Chaos Calmer].
While I'll post how to fix, it's still worth reading the Chaos Calmer section:
echo > /etc/config/fstab ; block detect > /etc/config/fstab ; vi /etc/config/fstab
Change each mount point detected to enable 1 (if you want all mounted at boot), with the pivot root (you can do extroot, but pivot root is recommended) mount point being [uuid will obviously be different]
config 'mount'
        option  target    '/overlay'
        option  uuid      'c91232a0-c50a-4eae-adb9-14b4d3ce3de1'
        option  fstype    'ext4'
        option  enabled   '1'

Thank you for your answer!

Exactly that I did. Wrote the fstab by block detect and added th mount point /overlay manually to the UUID of the partition I wanted to use. That wasn't work. The partition where mounted but th size was still small and the mount wasn't recognized some how.

If i did after reboot ONE umount /overlay the size changed to the new partition.

So it looks like the system is mounting "over" my /overlay mount point some how.

Now I get stuck completely and need to rebuild the hole system where I also again face a lot of stupid problems.

I like to have a build with a newer kernel and a newer wifi driver and services like minidlna, samba, nfsd, vsftpd and other small stuff. Plus eventually the Asterisk on it, depends on if I get the storage problem solved.

I tried to build my self the right image but my pc get stuck and hang. Also I have not enough knowledge to do this yet.

With the image from Davidc502 and Mrfrezee I have huge problems getting stuff installed. NFS is rejected due to version conflict of the kernel package. If I force to install it with --nodepend the service is not working.

Do you know which image I shell use best incl. the newer driver and kernel?

@thx4wrt For kernel dependency errors, you'll need to check the repositories of the user who built the image. If they don't have the package you need compiled for the kernel version in the image, you can see if another user's firmware does, or build your own using the build system wiki

If the build process is causing your PC to hang due to maxed out resources, issue make with the -j1 flag (i.e. make -j1) or -j1 V=s if you experience errors (i.e. make -j1 V=s)

In order to utilize extroot/pivot root, you must have the prerequisite packages installed: block-mount kmod-fs-ext4 kmod-usb-storage-extras

Please verify you followed the steps listed here & that your fstab matches the one shown.

Once you complete 4c, you'll need to reboot, the proceed to 5 to verify your pivot root worked

@JW0914

Indeed, I can't speak for other countries. But unless Linksys explicitly states a user can open the case to access the serial port doing so will void the warranty in Switzerland, which I did on day one btw. Can you point me to such a statement?

On the other hand there was an EULA of some sorts when booting into linksys firmware saying something along the line of voiding the warranty by putting 3 party firmware on it. That clause is invalid here as it says openwrt on the boxing. So putting openwrt on the device is an intended use-case and can by no means void the warranty here.

@sera I was just in the middle of editing my previous post as I remembered many members don't live in the US

That's interesting that Switzerland has that type of wording [and pretty crappy for the consumer], as in the U.S., it's the opposite, where unless something is directly prohibited in the warranty, then it does not void the warranty.

My gut says as long as the retail box has the openwrt advert on it, it shouldn't void the warranty, however I've never lived in Switzerland and would recommend following up with Linksys directly to verify. You may or may not get the correct info from tech support, and if you believe you are being given incorrect info, I would recommend reaching out to Linksys' Public Affairs office or writing directly to their legal department (if the latter, ensure you mail it signature required with a tracking number).

I thought about 4.4.7 with the latest wifi for the wrt1900acs. With the "older" once I had problems with wifi stability and reaction time on kabel network is better, at least it feels so.

@JW0914

Warranty is defined by law here, the seller has hardly any say in what it entails. EULAs are irrelevant for consumers and can simply be ignored. The seller can grant you additional rights, but can't take any. Generally this is a good deal for consumers and bad for lawyers.

Also usually if a device gets brought back to store the device is replaced without any questions asked. So even if you technically voided your warranty getting a replacement isn't hard, unethical yes.

@thx4wrt I don't believe specifying a specific 4.4 version is possible in the makefile, or at least it can't be specified as 4.4.7 or 4.4.8. Someone with more experience than I using the build system will need to chime in, as I know some have compiled 4.4.8.

I don't know yet, but at least I know now where and how to do it.

Just making the changes in those files didn't provide the necessary software. If you want to add one not provided there, how to add those?

If you want a specific revision you would look at the git and use the commit # for the revision i.e. this is the current:

Just remembered an old story where a U.S. women put a cat into the microwave for drying. She got reparation paid for the dead cat as the manual didn't state not for drying animals. Whether true or not, here she would have ended up in prison for animal abuse or in a clinic for psychos.

So the fascination is mine as well

6) I'm not sure what the value of the bootlogs are after the system is supported well enough to be flashed. It's useful to have them archived somewhere, but they don't need to stretch the page out.
Their wraps can be decreased, as they should be appearing in all browsers as a quite small, scrollable box. Where would you propose they be archived at?

I don't know all the resources available, but I could see a directory/wiki hierarchy along the lines of arch/target/blah and arch/target/submodel/blah to store per-model details in.

Things like bootlogs, stock port assignments (for models like the 1900 that have non-trivial switch configs), images showing serial pins, flashing processes, debricking options, etc could go here and then be linked into the per-model pages as appropriate. This may be something too big to do for one router type and should instead be considered as an overall change (or propose to LEDE for their wiki)

They are things that are absolutely critical at points in the process, but are noise the rest of the time.

A lot of these are actually common across a family of products, and it would be useful to link in the same (good) debricking writeup rather than to have a dozen different writeups for the same process

When one has time, please take a look and let me know if anything should be modified or better clarified.

@dlang @sera & any other users, I reformatted a few things in the WRT1X00AC/S series Wiki, reworded others, moved a few things around, created a Troubleshooting section, and performed some minor tweaks.
When one has time, please take a look and let me know if anything should be modified or better clarified.

" When updating between OpenWRT builds/releases:

It's always recommended to flash back to stock first, then re-flash OpenWRT from stock.
This is a precaution that ensures there are no problems in the flashing process.
"

Are everyone really do that on every OW build? :-)

Again I had the issue, on both bands. 2.4GHz limited to ~30Mbit/s and 5GHz to ~20Mbit/s.

Again 5GHz was slow. This time 2.4GHz was ok.

This time kicked out one Tab 3 7" client and after that speed was ok.

The wireless client from I made the tests is 54:26:96:cd:b9:19. The iperf3 server is linux in 1Gbit LAN.
