Latest stable firmware & adblock for AR300M

abe786 · 2018-12-13T11:16:08.084Z

Hi,
I just got the mini router, the firmware installed on it 2.27. Can anybody let me know, what is the latest firmware for this router. I see version 3.0 in downloads section:
https://dl.gl-inet.com/firmware/ar300m/nand/clean/
However, it is not auto-updating itself to that version. Should I manually flash it in this case?

Also, I’m not able to make default adblock package work. I had installed packages adblock 2.6.2-1 and luci-app-adblock git-17.290.79498-d3f0685-1 and selected the usual adblock sources after installation. Luci cp mentions adblock is running, however no ads are being blocked. I’ve tried restarting the router and suspending and re-activating adblock but to no avail.

Not sure of the reason, as log also doesn’t mention any useful. I see latest adblock script version available on openwrt repo is 3.5+, but I don’t see it in packages. Are there any tutorials on adding more repo for this router?

You can upgrade to the latest firmware(v3.0), it is available in http://download.gl-inet.com/firmware/ar300m/nand/testing/

Ofc, you have to upgrade manually. Please don’t ticked “keep settings” when upgrading. The version of adblock is 3.5.2 on the latest repo.
