Next week we will push firmware 4.x for AX1800 to snapshot.
This looks promising ! I’m happy to learn that this is in the roadmap ! I’ll stick with my Flint then, patiently waiting for this 4.x firmware.
I may not go for a snapshot release though, what’s the usual timeline between snapshot/beta/stable ?
It is beta7 now. It needs more than 10 beta at least.

Hell yes!!!
Very excited for this😄
What OpenWRT version will V4 run?
Firmware v4 start from Openwrt 21.02

Seems it is better that I can post a beta firmware here.
It has many bugs though. The 3.214 firmware of AX1800 is much stable.
Changing from 3.x to 4.0 Beta:
Download the img file and upgrade in your 3.x firmware. Do NOT keep settings. Otherwise it does not boot.
You can also use uboot mode to change to 4.x or change back to 3.x.
You do NOT need to report obvious bugs because we are on that now.

Woh, it’s working great for me so far. Very stable, and wireguard seems to have been optimized a bit!
Used to get 400mbp/s average on wireguard, now it’s 580mbp/s!
Great job, looking forward to beta testing further😄

There are a lot of updates available for plugins (43 in my case).
I tried updating them all, and, obviously, had to reset using uboot😄
Are there any packages I should update, and a list of packages I shouldn’t?
For me it got worse,from 540Mbps (3.213) to 250-300Mbps with this beta8 (Local speedtest)
Will you be posting updated firmware here also, or will those be uploaded to the firmware website?
I need to use luci-app-openvpn and luci-app-vpn-policy-routing for multiple openvpn client tunnels. Those don’t seem to work. I can upload an openvpn config and start multiple instances. When i try to add a new unmanaged interface (e.g. tun0, tun1) tun0, tun1 do not appear up as addable in the luci app. This was with the beta 4 v8 firmware.

Yes. Firmware will be updated. I will either post here or put in download website.

sounds like kmod-tun wasn’t compiled. Look in plugins to see if you can find kmod-tun and install it then reboot router.
For anyone having trouble with the beta, it looks like downgrading through uboot doesn’t work.
Was able to downgrade using LuCi though, just select the force option.
Back on V3.213 for now, because the VPN policy on beta V4 didn’t work for me either.
kmod-tun was installed, so not sure what the issue was🤷♂️
I have encountered an issue with this beta for the flint in regards to Wireguard in the VPN Dashboard page, after I updated the server list to add addition countries from mullvad it shows the amber colour icon and the option to turn off/on and select a new server is missing, I will have to factory reset as I have no internet connectivity

The log makes it look like there’s just an error in the config. Try selecting another config to connect to
I am unable to connect to another config. I don’t know how to force stop it. So it is stuck at “The client is starting., please wait…”
Try force closing wireguard through LuCi, that might work.
LuCi - System - Startup. Scroll down to the bottom and press stop on “wireguard”.
Is the log for Mullvad? Or another config.
Seems the config file is crashed in format.
There is no “wireguard” option there. I see one for openvpn but no wireguard.
