Flint Tethering with Huawei 3372 almost works. Connects or appears to sometimes but won’t route packets. Log here:

That is unfortunate that it does not work, but you don’t need to show your displeasure by posting the log in the most obnoxious way possible( I know you just copied and pasted, maybe use notepad or wordpad next time or download the log). It makes it really difficult to follow the timeline

Is there something else to it like a vpn running or adguardhome. It seems that its having a issue with ipv4 switching to ipv6.

mwan3 also seems to be doing something, is it set-up to load-balance or for fail-over?

briar-spoon-celibate · November 28, 2022, 5:12pm

Anyone know if it’s normal for upgrading via Local Upgrade? I don’t see a new version under “Online Upgrade” So I downloaded the .img from the Download Centre

I got an error where the Version Number is unknown…

K3rn3l_Ku5h · November 28, 2022, 6:23pm

.img is meant for Uboot .tar is for local upgrade

briar-spoon-celibate · November 28, 2022, 6:28pm

When I use .tar, it throws error
“ERROR: Incorrect firmware format!”

K3rn3l_Ku5h · November 28, 2022, 6:38pm

I see you are talking to cafebug to.

The latest stable firmware for version 3.x is 3.214 this was based on chaos calmer 15.05 a deprecated version of openwrt

4.x is the newest firmware and GL.iNet User Interface is based on openwrt 21.02 and LuCi 22.03

You will need to use uboot to upgrade past 3.214 to 4.10.0

Also will want to update uboot before

That’s a uboot bug, the fixed version can be downloaded here .
Upgrade uboot by the following steps:

connect LAN and PC by ethernet, the PC’s ip should be 192.168.1.x
push the reset button and power it on, about 10 seconds later release the button, until the wifi led stops flashing and the white led turns on.
access http://192.168.1.1/uboot.html to flash uboot.

briar-spoon-celibate · November 28, 2022, 6:40pm

Thanks a lot. I guess I’ll just hang on 3.214 until I have the motivation to reconfigure my router, haha

Thanks~~

K3rn3l_Ku5h · November 28, 2022, 6:47pm

So you can save a config file in LuCi upgrade to 4.x install the SQM package in LuCi and then load the Config file. It seems to have worked with no issue. The key is installing the sqm package becuase it writes a rudimentary ipv4 to ipv6 iptable NFtable swap.

jdub · November 28, 2022, 6:56pm

You could also install iptables-nft (assuming that’s in the gli repo) which does a full translation between iptables and nftables. This is the easiest way to get various non-nftables aware software working right now.

briar-spoon-celibate · November 28, 2022, 6:59pm

Do you mean these two? Thanks~~

K3rn3l_Ku5h · November 28, 2022, 6:59pm

I don’t think it Iptables-nft is becuase GUI is based on openwrt 21.02 and Luci is 22.03

K3rn3l_Ku5h · November 28, 2022, 7:00pm

You should just need the sqm-scripts
I also installed Luci-app-sqm to actually us the package
Just now you need to update uboot otherwise might be a issue.

subzero06 · November 28, 2022, 10:57pm

Has anyone noticed slower wifi 5.ghz speed with the new 4.x version? i was having better wifi speed with 3.x and now with 4.x the wifi speed cut in half.
latest 3.x = 400-500 download
latest 4.x = 100-200’s?? download

K3rn3l_Ku5h · November 28, 2022, 11:01pm

How are you testing?
Are you testing in the same location?
Personally I have a spot with a x marked on it I test from.
alzhao did mention something about the power turned down but I thought its was the GL-AXT1800 Slate AX because of DFS channels or something.

subzero06 · November 28, 2022, 11:13pm

speedtest windows app and fast.com (same server location and closest to me)
i stand next to the router to see difference.

K3rn3l_Ku5h · November 28, 2022, 11:14pm

disregard my other post
I will get some test on the Flint that needs to update from 3.x to 4.x

briar-spoon-celibate · November 29, 2022, 12:10am

My Report on Upgrading from 3.124 to 4.1.0 on Flint (GL-AX1800)

@K3rn3l_Ku5h’s instruction is extremely helpful. Thanks!
UBoot upgraded without issue
New Firmware (4.1.0) flashed without issue
luci-app-sqm and sqm-scripts installed without issue

Restore configuration from backup was NOT successful. It will break wireless.
Unable to restore VPN Configs, VPN Policies, WAN Block Lists (That I know of)
Ended up manually restoring settings by ssh-ing into the router and carefully inspect each and every file in /etc/config and update as needed
Updated Wireless (WiFi) settings via GUI

Speed is more or less the same (306 kbps before update to 273 kbps after update), tested with WireGuard on.

Time consumed: around 2 hrs.

Ahhh… To infer displeasure or being obnoxious from a log post is a bit of a stretch. Neither is true. I am posting concerning a beta issue that would be good to fix. There is nothing else going on.

This is a FLINT (NEW) running 4.1 B6 and tethering with the Wuawei 3372 has been problematic on all devices with most 4.1 beta code. I have tried Slate AX as well. The interface may come up but eventually says no access to internet and does not route packets.

Schugy · November 29, 2022, 1:40am

Upgraded to 4.1.0 release6 but IPTV with igmproxy+VLC doesn’t work with flint. Occasionally there is some stuttering sound and sometimes even a still image. With Archer C7 and ZyXEL NBG6617 + OpenWRT 22.03.2 I can actually watch TV. After two years ipq6xxx support is still a nightmare. I love my Creta AR750 and I have high expectations for my two Brume2 MT2500 that were handed over to FedEx today.

JerryZhao · November 29, 2022, 1:58am

Can you try this firmware again? Thank.
