Could someone at GL iNet please add the kmod-mtd-rw package to the 4.3.7 release? I have very old u-boot code on my device and I would like to update it.
Thanks!
Hello, we do not have kmod-mtd-rw package in both the new and old versions.
Then how do I update the uboot code without having a serial cable and taking apart the unit?
It looks like it was in the code at one time from this old post:
Maybe I need to beg for Firmeware 2.20?
You can use the method in the link below to update the firmware through U-Boot.

My router is fine and is running firmware 4.3.7.
It is just I’m missing some u-boot functions that I have in my other ar300m routers that came with a later version of the u-boot code. I would like them all to be the same.
How do I update the u-boot code on an ar300m?
Hello, the latest U-Boot code can be found at the following link.

I have the uboot code, but how do I install it without kmod-mtd-rw package?
Hello! If you need to update the U-Boot code, you can follow the method provided in the link below. However, when logging in to the browser, you will need to visit http://192.168.1.1/uboot.html.

I decided to just load generic openwrt on the router, as it has the missing kmod-mtd-rw package.
