Update issue?

Technical Support for Routers

Team,

When I try to perform a software update, I currently receive a message
"Failed to update repository list, please check your network and try again."
If I switch to "Manage sources" and copy/paste a link(https://fw.gl-inet.com/releases/mt798x/kmod-4.5.7/aarch64_cortex-a53/mediatek/mt7986) into the browser I receive the message
Error: [object Object]

Same behaviour with Luci - no update possible

ok, find out, that the router is blocked...

nslookup fw.gl-inet.com

;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

Tested via nslookup on the local NB:
$ nslookup fw.gl-inet.com

Hi @Neuroticker, I'm having the same issue, were you able to resolve it?

If I open the .ipk link below in a browser I get Error: [object Object]

Which firmware and device do you use?
What is your goal?

Hi @admon, thank you for your answer. I'm using GL.iNet GL-E750 with OpenWrt 22.03.4 and 4.3.17 gl-inet firmware. I was able to install Tailscale and Tailscaled packages but can't install neither gl-sdk4-tailscale nor gl-sdk4-ui-tailscaleview packages. My goal is to have the gl-inet's UI for Tailscale on my router.

Afaik those packages aren't available in the public repo. I will assign a GL staff to this thread so someone can have a look.

That would be greatly appreciated, I really need this for my homelab networking.

No problem. Someone will reply on monday :slight_smile:

Please download your beta version right here: https://dl.gl-inet.com/

E750 does not support the tailscale in the GL GUI (GL firmware).

Since it consumes much performance which probably over the E750 CPU, we did not add the Tailscale in the firmware for surely the basic network features of the E750.

If you still required, please PM me to get the manual .ipk.

GM Bruce,

what about GL-MT6000 Flint2?
At the beginning of last week I got the beta version notification every time I logged in...not since...

See my hint above

Hi,

MT6000 supported Tailscale. R&D will improve some issues and release the newer Beta firmware again, the older one has been removed from the download server.

thx Bruce

short feedback: Today I received the beta-release information again, so the issue is closed - thanks again.

Would it be possible to get a link to download the “gl-sdk4-tailscale” ipk? I’m on ath79 based firmware and my install looks for this package, which I understand is not on the public repo: https://fw.gl-inet.com/releases/v22.03.4/packages-4.2/ath79/glinet/gl-sdk4-tailscale_git-2023.159.30823-e3a9e0e-1_mips_24kc.ipk
I’ve been using tailscale/tailscaled on my GL-AR300M16 and just wanted to play with its UI integration, thanks!

The AR300M16 GL firmware does not support the tailscale, so this model does not have UI in GL GUI.

Hello,

I have a glinet ar300m microrouter with 128MB of ROM ( ath79 mips_24kc hardware) . The firmware 4.3.18 support a lot of new packages and about tailscale I could find gl-sdk4-ui-tailscaleview , tailscale , but there is still gl-sdk4-tailscale.ipk missing for the webview menu. Could you please update the repository, or at least provide an gl-sdk4-tailscale.ipk as for that plateforme please ?

Those tiny router are grat and powerful. I could run tailscale on native opnewrt firmware, without issue (ar300m with 128MB rom). The problem is that with the tailscale original cli method to set it up on glinet firmware the router reboot (issue with that method ).

A web interface is nice and that is why your product are great, so please provide us at leat an gl-sdk4-tailscale.ipk for the webview menu or a workaround to install that on 128MB rom devices like ar300M (ath79).

Thanks
