Firmware 4.2.x is out as snapshot firmware

DaWeav · 2023-02-25T16:06:32.415Z

Well, I installed the new v4, and the OpenVPN worked fine. Then I tried using the Travelmate plug-in and now the OpenVPN doesn’t work. I reset the 750 router, and still OpenVPN doesn’t work. Then I tried to uboot and attempted both v3 and v4 .img files, but that failed too. So I can’t even downgrade it back to the stable v3.

OVPNSERVER
OpenVPN Not present Unsupported protocol type.

UPDATE FAILED

Something went wrong during updateProbably you have chosen wrong file (too big or too small) or you were trying to update ART on device with unknown FLASH type (and size) which is not allowed. Please, try again or contact with the author of this modification. You can also get more information during update in U-Boot console.

Update: I used the side reset button to reset to factory and that worked better than the GUI reset. Anyway, OpenVPN working again, but still cannot get uboot interface to flash firmware.

Same here on the AXT1800 Slate. Updated uboot (that worked), but unable to flash any firmware via uboot. Allbeit gl.inet or vanilla openwrt. It says it’s flashing, the light blinks fast, but nothing actually changes.

Tried multiple browsers on different PC’s with different cables. No idea why it’s not working

You used the .img file, right?

Maybe try another power adapter and computer?

I was wondering if 4.2 will be updated to openWRT 22.03.X for the GL-MT3000 ?

Was hoping to have zerotier 1.10 available but unfortunatly, only 1.8.4-2 is available on 21.02

casperpda1976 · 2023-03-01T06:11:07.879Z

Upgraded 4.2.0 snapshot on MT1300 but didn’t see the parental control and zerotier option. Is it not supported on MT1300 model.

By regulation users cannot change country code in the UI.
But when you travel you have to change.

Would you mind sharing how to change the country code on Beryl AX? I suspect this might be the reason why some Wifi-5 devices don’t see the 5GHz network.

May not relate to the country code. Do you have further details of this issue?

5GHz setup: security: WPA2+WPA3, mode: 11ac/ax, bw: 80Mhz, ch: Auto, SSID: shown

Visible by: 2018 and 2021 macbook pro, Xiaomi Mi Lite 5G
Not visible by: LG OLED B9 (Wifi 5) and Huawei MediaPad M3 (Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac)

Have you tried to change channel?
Also try change encryption to WPA2.

bence · 2023-03-06T16:20:35.856Z

Changing the channel solved the issue, however this defeats the point of using automatic channel selection, hence I was suggesting to properly select the country in the first place.

Can you let me know which channle you changed to?
Which country are you in?

I changed to 108 from something over 160 which was auto-selected. I’m in Norway.

I see.

Channel 161 supports 80Mhz
Channle 165 support 20Mhz
They are only limited to 25mWatt output, by regulation.

But in the router, if comes with Europe country code, this channels is disabled completely. This is due to some settings in the wifi driver and designed like this.

Even you can use, 25mWatt should be very weak signal. I am not sure why your current wifi use that.

I tell you why, because the only place where the router is available to purchase in Norway is the Amazon.com, the US site, so I got a router set to US. And regardless where on this globe I buy this, I should be able to change the country (also it’s a travel router, so I am expected to travel to different countries with it).

I just posted here on changing the country code for the Wifi Ranges available (note it doesn’t change the devices Country Code as displayed) Slate Plus Title Bar - #4 by SmurfonToast

Perhaps that will help?

Sorry if it’s off topic, but noticed that on Brume2 (firmware v4.2.0 beta) the number of Clients connected to the WireGuard Server is always zero (0), regardless of how many is actually connected.

I was able to get a UBoot firmware to flash over the version 4 snapshot version on my 750 Slate. Instead of trying to use the latest version 3 UBoot image, I had to use an older version 3 UBoot image. Then I had to update a few times to various version 3 versions to get to the latest stable version 3 firmware.

Latest firmware 4.2.0 , what appears to be from Germany as set in Wireless regulatory (DE)
Channel 161 is visible which shouldn’t be, it’s not functional and halts the entire wireless function.
Tailscale subnet does not advertise to Tailscale.
Samba File sharing is not working with v2/v3 options.
DLNA works fine.

Edit: Just tested out WebDAV with external HDD, managed to do 800Mbit with EXT4 over Wi-Fi, very impressive.

I see that 4.2.3 is now in stable softwares for Flint. However, I see a lot of bugs, even in GUI, especially in Tailscale section where the options change the names to some variables, so i.e. instead of Allow access Wan, there is some variable name, when you refresh the browser, it is back to “allow access wan”.
Also, DNS leaks on Wireguard still happen from time to time, i.e. when you reboot the router which is acting as a WG client.

On the other subject, will software 4.3 have the option to choose your own headscale server, instead of hard coded Tailscale.com ?
Hope we will be able to change this from GUI?
Also, you mentioned advertise as exit node option will be available in 4.3, right?
