Do you think it's possible that they've uploaded old owrt21 version instead of owrt24 again? I've just tried to update without saving my settings and again I got owrt21 and my settings are still there...
For which router?
I can confirm that I have on both MT-3000 and MT-6000 OpenWRT 24.0 with updated kernel (MT-6000 with kernel 6.6.30, MT-3000 with Kernel 6.6.32)
I have now checked and there is an updated version with kernel 6.6.32 also for MT-6000

Thanks for your fast replies! I am trying to upgrade my MT-3000 from latest 4.6.0 owrt21 beta to 4.6.0 owrt24 using this file https://fw.gl-inet.com/firmware/mt3000-open/testing/openwrt-mt3000-4.6.0-op24-0531-1717126003.bin it upgrades successfully but even don't reset my settings and it keeps stying on owrt21. Probably I should try to use uboot to flash this firmware?
I started with the latest stable firmware and upgraded with that firmware you linked without keeping the settings.
Try updating from LUCI instead of the GL-iNet GUI

Thank you so much! Looks like latest 4.6.0 beta for MT3000 somehow removed uboot (if it's possible). Now I'm stuck on this firmware. After settings reset I can't enter uboot and can't upgrade or downgrade to any other firmwares.

I had a similar problem with the MT-6000, but the update via UBOOT had worked properly.
If I remember correctly, I had used an .IMG firmware and not .BIN to do the update via UBOOT.

After few tries of settings resets and flashing different firmwares I'm finally on owrt24! Thank you so much for your help!

@yuxin.zou I agree with you. In this case, let it be like now. Open source is great

After updating to the newest firmware, Adguard Home toggles doesn't work and homepage doesn't show any stats. Anyone experiencing the same issue?
Did you keep settings and/or did you upgrade AGH before you did an upgrade of the firmware?
I kept settings because it was an upgrade from 5/24 of the same firmware. No I did not upgrade AGH, it's usually upgraded with the firmware.
Some very encouraging signs here with the new OpenWRT 24 GL-MT6000 firmware running for the second day. WAN load balancing, 20+ static DHCP leases, NextDNS over DoT, Wireguard VPN client, Tailscale LAN access, GoodCloud, Guest network all running without a hitch so far. I have to say that I have not tested WiFi extensively as I use other AP points for that and I do not use Adguard.
Very well done to the development team for this step and really pleased that someone has finally come to their senses and decided to focus on developing newer kernel and OpenWrt versions rather than just patching things up on a dated software and breaking more features in the process.
Still some way to go before I can say rock solid like my EOL Slate running EOL v3 firmware:

@yuxin.zou can you please add SFTP support to Opal, Mudi, Puli? It is not so heavy as Samba. Only 50kb (see here) as it is just add on to Dropbear (details).
I really lack of network storage in this routers as on many devices now (such as iPhone) there is no way to copy files at all (no SD slot).
It is not hard to implement, as it requires from you just to add GUI in your firmware.

We are considering options to reduce the footprint of the network storage feature.
However, SFTP is not our first choice at this time. We have tested options for reducing the SMB footprint, but none were suitable. The next step would be to offer a WebDAV-only version. Are you comfortable with other protocols? iPhone should have a better app for mounting WebDAV.
If it supports encryption on transmission, why not?
@yuxin.zou or maybe @admins?
Can Gl.iNet team please consider to add something like for example adblock-fast (Welcome to docs.openwrt.melmac.net! | stangri’s OpenWrt Packages Documentation.). It is not so heavy as AdGuard Home so can be run on weak routers.
It works perfectly on E750v2 and SFT1200 (checked by me), also on XE300 (checked by friend)
Other ways to implement this into firmware is to just add automatic hosts list updates like:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hagezi/dns-blocklists/main/dnsmasq/multi.txt (dnsmasq format)
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hagezi/dns-blocklists/main/hosts/multi.txt (vanilla hosts)
Just add gui to support such feature. This shouldn’t be hard as it is relying on DNSMASQ which already built in
Leaving firmware without any adblocking solution is not good, especially in case of company that claims to make secure and private connections

I've been testing op24 on MT3000 and so far so good. Just a occasional "Unknown error occurred. Please check the network environment or reboot the device." showing, no big deal I think.
I expected to see Tailscale updated to v1.66.4 and AdGuard Home v0.107.50. I know I can update using scripts, but in some devices there isn't enough space to update both.
We'll upgrade tailscale to v1.66.4 ASAP (the day after tomorrow snapshot available) for security update.

We are trying a similar program. But we can't be responsible for the quality of such public listings, and it's hard for users without a technical background to find a listing on their own. So we are integrating a DoT provider that supports No Ads & Tracking.
Have you tried Free DNS Resolvers | Control D?
Hi @yuxin.zou
External DNS provider is not really good idea, as it usually have limitations on free plan and will cause DNS leak when using VPN.
I think the best option is to implement really primitive self-written Adblock
