Fresh new firmware install Flint 2.. HELP

[N0MaD]

So I just installed the latest beta firmware for my Flint 2 router and decided to not retain settings to do a clean install and start fresh.

Well everything seemed to be going fine until I went to install Luci-SQM (Smart Queue Management) which I had running on my previous firmware. I am presented with this error that it can’t install the plug-in and I don’t understand why or what is wrong as I did not encounter this before. Can someone help?

Before it was easy to install and setup, just had to do some trial and error with the settings but I didn't have problems installing it... What does this mean? Nothing else has changed other than the firmware (previous version was the latest stable). 

There is a bunch of updates available for the installed packages on the device when I look into the software section in luci-advanced. However when I go to update them I am presented with the error that they are NOT compatible and it won't install. What a mess this is...

I rolled back to the latest stable version and started from scratch. Everything looked normal until I went to use the web.

I have an ip address and gateway it appears from my ISP. However I have NO internet access whatsoever.

Tried using a different ISP via repeater to supply an IP address. It connects, seems to think it has internet. However none of my devices directly wired in or wireless can access the internet.

I am able to use the router interface to ping openwrt successfully however it is not providing connectivity to any of my clients even wired in. Can anyone help?

first:

lets start to the full basics.

please reset the router to factory, and do not update any packages or install new ones.

will then the router work OK and have internet?, okay then we can troubleshoot sqm issue.

also a common mistake is that you may be using the plugins wrong, it is the same as OpenWrt native package manager which mean this is not designed to upgrade packages, and also not for the sake of security.

there are also core packages which come from a developement build which are not build for your version and can result in a soft brick, or vague issues which cannot be replicated, some packages rely as dependency which can be a aswell a core package.

so when using it?, when you want to install a user based package, security upgrades to packages go per OpenWrt image.

as for SQM this is more troublesome because of the kernel mismatch, if this happen only gl support can help synchronizing these kmods with your build, you might choose to use a release image for this.

I apologize, I figured out just now what was wrong with the config. Going through the firewall I noticed the rule for Adguard was still there AND enabled... pointing my port 53 towards an unused 3053 as I had not setup the Adguard server again yet. Disabling that rule, connectivity has returned all around.

Thank you for your reply.. I must get some rest soon and not do this again late at night lol. Thank you again, please excuse my stupidity.

This can be marked as solved.
