Trouble Installing EasyTether IPK on GL-B1300 Convexa-B

Technical Support for Routers
1

I just got a GL-B1300 Convexa-B and updated the firmware to the newest one with OpenWRT 19.

I downloaded and installed the firmware update based on openwrt 19.07.8.

Then downloaded the OpenWrt 19.07.3+ (openssl) drivers from Download EasyTether drivers - EasyTether for Mac OS X, Windows, Ubuntu, Fedora and game consoles

I transferred over the IPK file from the ipq40xx folder and ran opkg install /tmp/filename.ipk and get the following error:

  • pkg_hash_fetch_best_installation_candidate: Packages for easytether-usb-openssl found, but incompatible with the architectures configured
  • opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package easytether-usb-openssl.

I don’t know how you did.

I tried and it installs just ok.

This is the firmware
