MT300N - outdated Zerotier package

SirRouter · 2020-05-14T17:40:22.089Z

I have updated my MT300N-V2 to the latest firmware (3.102) and have updated the software packages but the only Zerotier package available is 2 years and 6 versions old (1.2.8-2). The current version is 1.4.6 and there are significant improvements since the 1.2 version.

I see on the openwrt package list that version 1.4.6 is available. Is there a way to install the most recent Zerotier version?

You can upgrade your plugin with the following commands.

opkg update 
opkg upgrade zerotier

Thanks for the help.

I did the above but after installing and update/upgrade, opkg list-installed shows that I am still running Zerotier version 1.2.8-2. I guess that is becuase it’s pulling the package from the Gl.inet repository and not the openwrt repository. Is there a way to install the zerotier package from the openwrt repository?

I tried installing with:

opkg install https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/19.07.2/packages/mipsel_24kc/packages/zerotier_1.4.6-1_mipsel_24kc.ipk

but I get the error:

I downloaded the updated zerotier package to the tmp folder on the router and tried installing but get:

You can set the software source in advanced settings.
