I am trying to follow my ISP instructions on how to setup IPv6 with Luci interface but could not find "Enable IPv6 negotiation on the PPP link" in Network/Interfaces/WAN Advanced settings.  The following are the full instructions, everything are there except the one I mentioned.

In Network / Interfaces / WAN
Go to Advanced Settings
Check "Use builtin IPv6-management" and "Enable IPv6 negotiation on the PPP link"
Then save and apply.

If there is no interface called wan6 in Network / Interfaces you need to create a wan6 interface with these settings:
Protocol: DHCPv6 client
Request IPv6-address: try
Request IPv6-prefix of length: automatic.

Advanced settings:
Check: Bring up on boot, Use builtin IPv6-management, Use default gateway, Use DNS servers advertised by peer.

Physical Settings:
Custom Interface: @wan

Firewall Settings:
WAN

Then save and apply.

After go to Network / Interfaces / LAN
Set "IPv6 assignment length" to 64

At the bottom DHCP Server section:
IPv6 Settings
Router Advertisement-Service: server mode
DHCPv6-Service: server mode
NDP-Proxy: disabled
DHCPv6-Mode: statless + stateful

Save and apply.
Reboot and you should have IPv6 on the WAN interface and a /64 subnet on your LAN. LAN devices should be getting IPv6 addresses also.

Hey David, just a quick question...

When I have upgraded LEDE to a newer build, I have wiped the settings of LEDE, booted into the Linksys partition (via the uboot command, or something like it), and flashed a new LEDE image. My question is that can I keep my LEDE settings after flashing a new build, while keeping my other Linksys partition intact? (I don't know if the sysupgrade procedure would wipe the other partition, and if flashing a LEDE image would wipe my settings, and I would like to have that partition just in case something happens with my configuration)

Thanks for all the builds and help!

I think you would be served fine by switching to the linksys partition like you are, and flashing the newer factory to lede image from there. settings should remain intact, contrary to what I first thought. it seems that your factory settings and lede settings will live next to each other.

Thanks cybernook, will try this when next build comes out

Just be sure to back up the configurations that way you can recover if the settings aren't saved.

Testing build from new source with Kernel 4.4.23. I haven't tested flashing yet, but reports are that once installed, the user will be locked in that build, unless able to recover to secondary flash OR using a serial cable.

EDIT*****

Confirmed -- After flashing new image, I'm unable to flash another image. Will need to recover secondary flash OR use the USB/TTL cablle.

Will wait until the patch has been issued before posting a new image to the site.

That has not been my experience on my wrt1900ac v1. I see folks stating that when they do as above their settings are saved, both dd-wrt to dd-wrt and Openwrt/LEDE to Openwrt/LEDE when doing upgrade through the Linksys UI. So far I have never found that settings have been saved.  Maybe because I have an early wrt1900ac v1 (4/27/2014 build date)?
Perhaps later models this happens. Guess bottom line for me is backup and do not think the config will be kept.

I have found that when I boot back into the Linksys firmware, the OEM firmware keeps the previous settings. When I flash from the Linksys gui, Openwrt/Lede/Gargoyle, settings are not kept.

If ddwrt existed in partition 2, and I flash a newer ddwrt image from the Linksys gui, ddwrt keeps the previous settings.

WRT1900ACv2

Hey guys,
From what I see, I guess that it doesn't behave like I upgraded with ddwrt (I could flash a newer build, and my settings would be intact. Whether the thing would boot up was another story...) I'm thinking that this has to do with the fact openwrt/LEDE saves config differently than dd-wrt. I'll make a backup and hope that restoring it works next time I upgrade... (I also do have a refurbished 1900acv1)

P.S: I just wanted to say thanks to @bill1228, your ddwrt forum posts got me switching to LEDE (IMO, it's better than dd-wrt)

@davidc502

Any ETA on a build with installable .pkg packages?

As soon as there is a patch issued for the latest sources (There's a bug).  The latest build will lock you in unless recovering or flash via serial cable.

There's been an official request to revert a particular commit, and shouldn't take too long to go through.

This is the request to fix the issue.

https://bugs.lede-project.org/index.php … ;sort=desc

The fix appears to be in line... I should be able to compile new kernel tomorrow by EOD.

https://github.com/lede-project/source/pull/368

Thanks for chasing the development and making it available to us David.

@cybrnook2002

New builds just finished compiling. However, I'll need to test the new build and verify it can be flashed successfully again before I can upload it to the server.

If everything goes well, it should be up on the site tonight.

nftables successfully compiled, and I'm anxious to give it a try as it has improved performance over iptables.

nftables_0.4+2015-04-09-1_arm_cortex-a9_vfpv3.ipk

The package have been "modularized", so even though it's not a part of the build, it should still install without issue.  Don't hold thy breath. lol

New builds, base on upgraded kernel of 4.4.23 have been uploaded to the server.

After flashing, don't forget to replace the packages sources. For those requesting extra packages, please attempt to install, and let me know if all is well.

Manifests have been created, so be sure to take a look. http://davidc502sis.dynamic-dns.net/mve … u.manifest

Reboot (HEAD, r1770)

EDIT -- Manifests are all of the pre-installed packages, and doesn't include the extra requested packages.

Newbie here, what does "don't forget to replace the packages sources" mean after flashing?  By the way, thank you very much for your hard work.

Just means to replace the stock package repository with the ones below.  This is a .jpg of where to do that > http://davidc502sis.dynamic-dns.net/ima … nfeeds.jpg  One of these days I hope to get clear instruction on how to change it in the builds so people don't have to do it manually.

A uci-defaults script, perhaps something like:
/etc/uci-defaults/01-mydrop

#!/bin/sh

## append my drop links to opkg.conf ##
echo "drop link 1" >>  /etc/opkg.conf
echo "drop link 2" >>  /etc/opkg.conf

exit 0

Have not tried it myself but...

Interesting.. Okay, thanks. I will look into testing it.

Hello just installed the latest build and everything is working ok but there's one little thing in the 5ghz network setup which i have set as channel 44 but it showing as channel 48 ?

@Eyerex

I'm not 100% but it may have something to do with the 80mhz width that is selected. 80mhz covers channels 36-48 easily.

Try 40mhz width, and see if the same thing happens.

Does anyone know if WPS is supported on this flavour of OpenWRT/LEDE? I need to connect to a wifi printer but I've not had much luck so far...

depending on the printer, it may only be wifi "g" and will likely need 20mhz. So make sure your 2.4 band is setup to allow these "legacy" type connections. I know my HP at home is pretty lame like this.....

Just tried and swapping to 40mhz which does work
