Thank you for your reply, I understand your reasons for not making a change to the current package.
Such a shame, this is a good little affordable router. I have reverted to openwrt-x750-4.3.6-0720-1689830576 with Extroot and all works fine.
As this is Beta, is it safe to use?
Maybe I should go back to V3.217? However, last time I tried this ‘parted’ was missing from the opkg packages (See here)
After waiting for a couple of years for the promised V4 to come out with the new API, I must say that I am a little disappointed.
