Hi,
according to the download center there is no new op24 available. But maybe you want to use the gl-inet version instead? I think you are confused because you are getting an update message for the gl-inet version for the firmware although you are running on the last op24 already. @kb_tech95 Mentioned that issue some posts earlier.
Care to share some of the pros and cons of each firmware. I have been using 4.8.3 Stable which came pre-installed on my Flint2 for the last 3 months.
Hi,
@will.qiu The 4.8.4 update was taken down a few days ago, but it’s available again since two days or so. Is it safe to use? Are the DNS issues solved?
Thank you Void and kb very useful info. I am leaning towards op24 but i’ll wait for some feedback in another post regarding the adguard home update frequency in op24. The 4.8.3 from gl-inet is working fine these days. Maybe the gl-inet firmware still gets a little more effort from the developers in case that something needs to be fixed, i am just guessing, not sure. I am not in a hurry.
So far, i really like the product and the suppot gli and the users are offering on this forum. Just don’t rush into new updates without extensive testing.
Hi, I get the frustration.
anyway I have installed the 4.8.3 with -opt24 since the beginning and no problem and really stable from my side:
FWIW I normally avoid trying beta firmwares, but after seeing the drop in wifi signal with 4.8.4 I thought I would try 4.8.5 beta. And even though the max signal strength is the same 100 mW, the actual signal bars on my PC wifi connection and throughput are back to what they were pre 4.8.4
Next time something is released from gl inet wait around 2 weeks and watch the forum and reddit. (this pretty much applies to a lot of software releases in general)
This isnt the first nor the last firmware that will get pulled. It will save you so many headaches.
Within a day of the release people were already complaining about this release on both sites I posted above.
Hi,
the system information of my Flint 2 says: ARMv8 Processor rev 4. Can i install the latest openwrt 24 firmware form Gl-inet without causing any conflicts? @pierocafa Are you using adguard home on your openwrt 24 without issues? The uptime of your router is encouraging.
Hi, I can tell you that I have no issues, but I don’t use Adguard!
cheers, Piero
Yes, the DoH issue has been resolved, and so we have re-released version v4.8.4.
