hi there. I'm new in the forum.

I've recently installed your openwrt/lede snapshot firmware in my linksys wrt3200 acm. The fact is that I cannot find transmission packages such as transmission-daemon, transmission-cli and so on. The only package included in the repositories, or at least the one I have is luci-app-transmission. So my question is, where could I find the packages or where could I find a compatible repository in order to add it to the distribution feeds label?.

Another problem that I found is the constant wireless dropping, not only in david's snapshot but also in the "stock" lede firmware. has anyone else had or is having this problem? if yes, how to face it?

thanks in advance mates.

There was another person who reported wifi drops a few days ago, but that was all we heard from this person, so you are the 2nd person to mention it.

About packages, if it isn't in the repo then the package did not build correctly. Usually, the package maintainer will fix the problem within a few weeks, and corrects the issue.

How long have you had the 3200acm?

I bought it few days ago. Just try the stock firmware and then installed lede firmware shortly after. I bought it in order to install openwrt/lede firmware for testing. I had an old router with old openwrt running, but still learning.

I am having some drops, but what I am really concern about is wifi signal, I have my old tp-link w8970 working in ap mode configuration and the wifi signal is much stronger than linksys'. It is really disappointed. Not to mention 5ghz wireless which is totally weak and poor.

Regarding the transmission package I've managed to install and run it properly. I just added repos at custom feeds posted by someone else above.

by the way, great snapshot, great job mate.

I'll go ahead and just confirm your finding about the weak 5Ghz wifi signal. The FCC has mandated all new routers with 5Ghz, not allow the customer to adjust the power levels at all. The power levels are set by chip programmed by Linksys from the factory and can not be altered. So, I'm assuming you live here in the US? It's too bad, but with Opensource we had some people screwing with the power levels and taking them out of range for the particular band they were on likely causing interference or the perception of interference in their area's. When it comes to frequencies, the FCC doesn't mess around and shut it down. Anyhow, that's water under the bridge at this point.

So about the wifi drops.. Is this happening because the signal is too low or the distance too great due to the lower power level?  Or is the signal good, and you might be watching a video and wifi just drops on the device?

Nope, I'm from spain, it's nearly 2 o'clock in the morning here right now. 2.4 ghz wireless drops with no device attached at all. I test it using an app, wifi analyzer for instance, and see how signal drops constantly. maybe some kind of interferences or maybe not. Regarding 5 ghz wireless I'll try not to configurise manually power levels and will see how signal behaves. when you mention power levels you mean to adjust Network / Wireless / transmit power right?

I am also aware about some 5 ghz channels restrictions not to overlap with radar signal for instance. I've read that somewhere.

Hi,

I've been  struggling with the the same reboot issue myself, for quite some time, with the wrt1900ac v1 (mamba).
It feels like I've been testing every release I got my hands on, so... - I would really much like to get to try this test build you guys are talking about here in the last replies.

I don't know where to download it though, if someone could be so kind to point me in the right direction, thanks.

Best regards,

This is the link to the test build for the 1900ac Version 1.  Give it a few days and let everyone know how it does.

davidc502sis.dynamic-dns.net/releases/v1_4.9.zip

This is the version I'm currently running - and the reboots keep happening, unfortunately.

I don't know what to do tbh... I did have it running stable once before - but i cant remember what version i was running.
I''ve also tried your other version 5113 -- i got the reboots with that too.

Im at 2+ weeks uptime with my build here: git.realms.tech/JTRealms/lede-wrt1900v1/src/master/bin/targets/mvebu/generic

Would be interesting to see if its as stable on other wrt1900ac v1's

Is there a specific package with transmission being looked for?

root@lede:~# opkg list |grep transmission
luci-app-transmission - git-17.343.27587-8e6b1a6-1 - LuCI Support for Transmission
luci-i18n-transmission-en - git-17.343.27587-8e6b1a6-1

*EDIT*

I've looked through all of the possible transmission packages and they are all set to compile as a module.

Have you set the country code yet?

Can you copy the output of the following  cat /etc/config/wireless

Hey again,

I was just about to test your build, and I'm afraid that link isn't working.
So if you could upload the file to any other place, I would be greatful.
Thanks again.

Same here, 3200ACM-EU.
My old RT-N66U is doing way better in terms of the wifi signal !
Basicly I still have to use my N66u to get a decent 2.4ghz signal in my bedroom. Really dissapointing !
Btw, I've found that the @ 5ghz signal is much better when using a DFS channel @27dBm.
Other channels are locked @20dBm and the performance significant lower...
I'm wondering if the Linksys High Gain Antennas (WRT004ANT-EU) would be a real improvement ?
I really dont like to use a second router just to get a decent 2.4ghz signal in my bed room

Can you copy the output of the following  cat /etc/config/wireless

I did

config wifi-device 'radio0'
    option type 'mac80211'
    option hwmode '11a'

do you know any tweak?

Buy the high Gain Antenna if everything you need is one 1 floor as coverage up stairs may not be as good.

Ha sorry, broke the server setting up a Christmas movie live stream :3 Anyway it should be backup!

Only one floor here, so I'm gonna buy them.
I will be very upset with Linksys if this doesnt fix my 2.4ghz problem and i still have to use a second router for wifi...

Btw david can u tell me how much free memory you have after ~2days of usage with ur 3200acm ?
