GL-MV1000 upgrade OpenWRT

olk · 2022-03-31T04:38:13.991Z

Hi,
the OpenWRT on the latest GL-MV1000 is too old.
Is it possible to upgrade the OpenWRT (containing newer, required drivers) without breaking the GL-software running ontop of OpenWRT?

ty,
Oliver

No, doesn’t help because the last beta is still based on the old openwrt 19.07.8 that doesn’t contain the required mt76x2u driver.

So just install vanilla? Index of /releases/21.02.1/targets/mvebu/cortexa53/ (openwrt.org)

Just be aware that OpenWrt 21.02 comes with initial support for DSA, which replaces the swconfig system that OpenWrt was using up until now. This includes BRUME.
