Hey David, been using your build for a couple weeks now, great work and thanks for your efforts. I was running the 9/5 build and it was great, saw that you posted new firmware with a newer kernel so I went and updated.

adblock is not in the new packages, but it was in the previous build. Is there a way to get this back, can I just install the .ipk? Is it not compatible somehow?

EDIT1: also wget, sudo

Is there a way to build these myself? That way I don't have to bother you for every package.

Due to issues with incompatibility, I started building only what's been requested. However, I should be able to add this in the package repo this weekend, and will hopefully have the problems worked out by then.

Best Regards,

Thanks @adri! I did miss that.

Cheers, and thanks again, David.

David, I switched from DD-WRT to your LEDE build, and I want to say thanks for all the work, as I favor LEDE/OpenWRT over DD-WRT. As I have read, you now build packages by request. I saw your newer build, and saw that some packages that I used are no longer in the repo. As such, I have not updated yet. Could you add the zabbix_agentd package, the 3 zabbix_extra packages, and the full edition of wpad to the repo? I use Zabbix for monitoring and WPA2-Enterprise for my network.

Thanks!

Attempting to add

zabbix-agentd
zabbix-extra-mac80211
zabbix-extra-network
zabbix-extra-wifi
zabbix-get
zabbix-proxy
zabbix-sender
zabbix-server
wpad  (Full)

P.S.  I've had difficulty building a full package repo due to mismatch errors. I've made a change this week that I'm hoping will fix the problem. If the problem is fixed, the package repo will slowly build back up. Will know more after people start downloading and attempting to install packages.

Best Regards,

(Last edited by davidc502 on 22 Sep 2016, 13:33)

@thepatrikos

New builds and packages have been uploaded to the site.

Please try one of the new builds and see if the new zabbix packages installs without any warnings, and let me know what you find.

Thanks

David

David, thanks for the packages. Will try later tonight to upgrade and install.

Don't forget to change your distribution feed.

By the way...  Simple testing I've done around the house shows Wifi working better than the last build. Not that it was bad before, far from it. But in the previous build, speeds slowly built up to maximum. This build, near maximum speed is obtained almost instantly.

Would like to hear some feedback though.

I'm confused.  I have a Linksys WRT1900ACS V2 router (newest of them all after Government issues)and want to know if your build will work for it. On the website it says WRT1900AC, WRT1900AC v2 and  WRT1900ACS v1 but not sure about WRT1900ACS V2.
  Above in a couple places it says that people are using your build for this but because of the name confusion in editions of the router I'm not really sure.  Can someone enlighten me on this and is there a installation help page or anything for this router? I would like to try this build if possible just do not want to hurt my router.

From what I understand there is no hardware difference between the 1900acs v1 and 1900acs v2.  I've read where people have been running v1 "shelby" on v2 with no issues.  I'm not saying you should or should not try it, but if you decide to do it, understand you are doing it at your own risk, since there is no official support for acs v2 yet.

Here is some information on Reddit about it.  https://www.reddit.com/r/openwrt/commen … 900acs_v2/

David, I upgraded, and the zabbix agent and the full wpad edition work perfectly. My server is getting data, and WPA2-Enterprise works. Again, thanks for the great work!

PS: WiFi is great on this build, I'm getting the full 100mbps (my fios speed) on 5ghz. 2.4ghz is a bit behind, but it still works.

@thepatrikos

Awesome, and thanks for testing so quickly.

Best Regards,

Hello everyone, after a few months with mcfreeze build i decided to try davidc502 build as wi fi driver is more up to date...

So first thing that i noticed is that i cant get any connection on wifi ac or n above 54Mbits of bitrate is this normal...

anyone has some suggestion???

Second, the "platform" problem is resolved? no need to add platform in /etc/config/wireless ?

And of course thanks davidc502 for his work....

@moccolo

What device is connecting to Wlan0 (AC)?

Also, have you performed any speedtests? On the mobile device download ookla speedtest (free), and do a couple to see what the actual throughput is.

For troubleshooting, go ahead and use the opposite end of the spectrum (frequency) and bump the power up to 500mW, and test again.

To the ac i connected my mobile LG g2 that on mcfreeze build always connected to 150Mnit/s

to the N network i have connected my tp-link repeater 850re that again connected usually at 150.

how can i boost power to 500mW? is that the corrisponding to 27db in the ac wi-fi? asking that because i'm at work now and i don't remember. will try later...

thanks

@moccolo

Depending on where you are in the AC frequency spectrum, some frequencies are licensed for additional power. I believe the last 2 or 3 channels at the end of the spectrum are rated legally for 1000mW or 1Watt. This would be US regulations, but am assuming you are USA.

Okay.. Try again please. It should resolve on its own.

Newbie here, unable to download anything I got "davidc502sis.dynamic-dns.net’s DNS address could not be found." when clicking links, I can only see the main page.  Thanks.

@david
Site still cannot be reached via DNS name. Just a FYI
Fortunately I had already downloaded your latest and got set up with the software config info as well before the issue.

Looks good by the way.

@davidc502 Tested at home speed from wifi ac with my mobile... couldnt go above 20Mbits download and 22 upload.
I have a 100/20 optic connection. my tplink 1043nd was doing 50mbits easy with wi fi

i just cant get it why the bitrate i fixed to 54mbits or less with every device
