Hello :wave:t2:
Can we have the OpenWRT version it’s working on?

I’m about to the 4.6.4 op24. So if this 4.7 is op23 or op24 maybe I’il try this one instead.
Thanks :innocent:

Seems like it's op23

Are you serious? If it's at least OpenWRT 23 then I'll give it a try tonight, thanks!

My bad its op21...
Firmware Version OpenWrt 21.02-SNAPSHOT r15812+1077-46b6ee7ffc / LuCI openwrt-21.02 branch git-22.335.71649-0ecaf74

I found a typo that needs correcting:

Note that the warning at the top says, "Guest Wi-Fi is disabled so guest networks is not work." I think it should say, "Guest Wi-Fi is disabled so guest networks will not work."

First view of the firmware is pretty awesome so far!
Good 1st setup guide, great way to integrate WireGuard using NordVPN without manual hassle.

I am pretty happy with the all-in-all user experience so far! Many small adjustments (like port speed negotiation) that make the GL GUI more useful and professional.

I would say 4.7 is a game changer spoken of UX

Haaa … crap…
So I’ll stay on the 4.6.4 stable version or I’ll try the one with op24.

Why GL.iNet don’t use at least op23 now ?

What is the purpose of choosing version 2.0 or 3.0 from USB that will be used?

Will there be an op24 Version of 4.7.0?

USB 3 can interfere with WiFi.

Wow, I'm impressed with 4.7 on my Brume 2! Yes, there are some UI typos/language issues, but I can really tell the GL Development team has been busy! Keep them coming!

Just installed 4.7 on Brume2. Really nice. Only thing I’ve noticed is controld via the router admin panel only supports tls encryption, not the superior https (premium account - resolver). Is this an error or just hasn’t been implemented yet? Great update though! Thanks.

It does not interfere why manufacturers prohibit the USB port during the router manufacturing process not to cause interference. In general, this function would only make sense to correct a GL.INET manufacturing error, as what was for another forum user:

Believe what you want to. It is well-known that USB 3 can cause interference issues with WiFi. Several manufacturers offer the same thing, with the same explanation - WiFi interference.

Edit: Here, I will help you out.

I'm not saying that USB 3.0 doesn't interfere with 2.4GHz networks, but that this issue can be addressed by properly sealing the USB 3.0 port in the manufacturing process.

Sandeep Harpalani (Netgear): We've addressed this issue with a better hardware design that isolates this noise and reduces the impact to almost negligible on our USB 3.0 Wi-Fi routers like the R6250 (AC1600 WiFi router). In a non-optimized design, the impact can be quite significant on the 2.4GHz band.

I updated my Beryl AX to v4.7.0 and the setup guide link to set a WireGuard client using NordVPN does not load but I got it working https://docs.gl-inet.com/redirect/en/4/wireguard_client/nordvpn_setup_guide/

We know there are some UI and translation issues, which we are already working on and will be fixed in the next version.

Thanks for your feedback, let's confirm.
