Q: How to configure IPTV function on wireless router (For new logo)？
A:

[Assistant]
This article will introduce the configuration of the IPTV function and will guide you to configure this function correctly.
Note:
If you have already accessed to Internet and IPTV function normally by default, please ignore this article, just keep the default settings of IPTV page.
For the ISP Singtel, Please verify if you were issued with ONT before configuring the IPTV setting advice, IPTV setting is only required for Singtel Optical Network Terminal (ONT), and is not required if you are given Singtel Optical Network Router (ONR).
We will take Archer C9 as an example.
Part A: Introduce of IPTV setting page.
We can see the configuration webpage of the IPTV as below.
Please keep the IGMP Proxy and IGMP version as default, unless your ISP told you to modify. This article will guide you to configure the IPTV mode and LAN ports.
Part B: What’s the difference between different IPTV modes?
There are many “mode” available in the IPTV setting page, such as Bridge, Singapore-ExStream, Malaysia-Unifi, Malaysia-Maxis and Custom.
These modes are designed for different ISPs. In other words, the mode which you need to choice is up to your ISP.
Obviously, Singapore-ExStream, Malaysia-Unifi and Malaysia-Maxis are designed for specific ISPs in Singapore and Malaysia.
Bridge mode doesn’t need you to type in VLAN information, we just use this mode when ISP doesn’t require VLAN settings.
Custom mode is used for some of the ISPs which require 802.1Q VLAN settings for IPTV service.
Part C: How to configure IPTV function correctly in different mode?
If your ISP is ExStream, Unifi or Maxis. Just select Singapore-ExStream, Malaysia-Unifi or Malaysia-Maxis mode. Then you need not to type in any information more if you choose these mode, just click “Save” to complete the configuration.
Bridge mode is designed for other situations. If your ISP doesn’t require VLAN ID, or you can’t figure out the VLAN ID, you could try to use this mode. Please refer to the steps below to configure this mode.
a. Select the mode as Bridge. Then select one LAN port for IPTV service and save. Here I select LAN3 for IPTV service as an example.
b. Then please connect STB to LAN3 and try the IPTV service
3. If your ISP is not in the list and needs VLAN settings. Please select Custom mode and type in the detailed parameters manually. You need check the information to your ISP at first. Please follow the steps below to configure.
Select mode as Custom, then you need to type in the VLAN ID for different services, the VLAN ID should be provided by your ISP. For example, if my ISP has told me that they use VLAN 40 for Internet service, VLAN 45 for VOIP service and VLAN 50 for IPTV service, I type in the parameters as above.
The 802.1Q Tag and IPTV Multicast VLAN ID are up to your ISP, too. (Normally the 802.1Q Tag should be checked). And the priority need not to configure.
Then set LAN ports for different services. For example, here I select LAN1 and LAN4 for Internet service, LAN2 for VOIP service and LAN3 for IPTV service. Please remember to click “Save”.
Finally, connect computers to LAN 1 and LAN4 for internet access, connect IP Phone to LAN2 for VOIP service, and connect STB to LAN3 to watch IPTV.

Q: How to Configure My Range Extender when there is no WPS Button on My Router.
A:

[Assistant]
Suitable for models: TL-WA750RE, TL-WA850RE, TL-WA854RE
  If WPS setup was unsuccessful or your router doesn’t have a WPS button, you can use another method to configure your range extender.
      Range Extender Setup via Method 2: Web Management Page
  Ethernet Connection
    Step 1:
For the TL-WA750RE and TL-WA850RE models, the most efficient way to configure your range extender is through the web management page. You can access the web management page by connecting your range extender to Ethernet. (Each range extender package includes an Ethernet cable.)
  Before starting, make sure your range extender is powered on and remains on during this process. Once powered, plug one end of the cable into the Ethernet port on your laptop or desktop PC, and connect the other end into the Ethernet port of the range extender.
    Note: If your laptop or desktop PC isn’t capable of connecting to a wireless network, you can still connect your range extender to your PC. Locate the Ethernet cable running from your router to your PC, and unplug the end connected to your PC. Then, plug it directly into the range extender. This will establish an Ethernet connection from the range extender to the PC.
    Wireless Connection
  Step 1A: You can also set up the range extender via a wireless connection. (The TL-WA854RE does not have an Ethernet interface, so you must complete setup using a wireless connection.) To do this, please navigate to the wireless connection list on any wireless device (laptop, tablet, or smartphone), and connect to the default TP-Link_xxxxxx network.
  Below is an example of how to connect to the default TP-Link_xxxxxx wireless network in Windows 7. (All versions of Windows will be similar).
           Note: Please disregard the multiple TP-Link_xxxxxx entries in the window above, you should only see one TP-Link wireless network name (SSID) in the available connections list.
    Step 2:  Once a direct Ethernet connection has been established between your computer and the range extender, be sure to disconnect from any wireless network that your computer may be connected to.  This will only apply to laptops and/or desktop PCs that have wireless capability.
  Step 2A:
This step isn’t necessary for wireless setup. Proceed to Step 3A.
  Below is an example of how to disconnect from a wireless network in Windows 7.
    Here is an example of how to disconnect wirelessly in Mac OS.
        During this process, your computer will not have Internet access. However, since you are directly connected to the range extender, you can still access the range extender’s web management page.
  Step 3: After disconnecting from your wireless network, open any web browser on your computer (Internet Explorer [Microsoft Edge on Windows 10], Google Chrome, Mozilla FireFox, Apple Safari). Then navigate to the address or URL bar at the top of the browser and type in tplinkrepeater.net or tplinkextender.net. (The one you use will depend on the range extender you own.)
  Step 3A: Once a wireless connection has been established from your device to the TP-Link_xxxxxx wireless network, please open a web browser on your wireless device. Locate the address or URL bar at the top of the browser and type in tplinkrepeater.net, tplinkextender.net. (The one you use will depend on the range extender you own.)
  Step 4: If the login is successful, the following window will appear within your browser.  Use admin for the username and password.
    Note: If the login attempt with the domain tplinkrepeater.net/tplinkextender.net is unsuccessful, delete it from the address bar. Instead, type the following IP address: 192.168.0.254. (This is the range extender’s default IP address.)  Both the domain address and default IP address will access the same login windows as displayed above.
    ***If attempting to configure the TP-Link extender from a Mac computer, the login window above will immediately display once an Ethernet connection is established between your computer and the TP-Link extender.
        Step 5: Once you have successfully logged into the range extender, the following window will appear. (All range extender models: TL-WA750RE, TL-WA850RE, TL-WA854RE will display the same web management page.
    Select Next within the middle section of the web management page.
    2) Select your region
    3) Check or Select your own wireless network
        Note: If your main router’s wireless network name is hidden or you have disabled the SSID broadcast on your wireless router, please select Set SSID and MAC Manually.
        Below is the window for Set SSID and MAC Manually. (You will need to manually enter your wireless network settings below.)
             4) Enter your wireless network password.
        5) From this same window you can select Copy from Main Router/AP which will cause the range extender to broadcast the same name as your existing wireless network.  If you select Customize, this will allow you to manually set the wireless name that the range extender will broadcast. (We recommend leaving the selection on Copy from Main Router/AP.)  When finished, select NEXT.
        6) Please review your settings to ensure all the information is correct and then select FINISH.
    Upon selecting FINISH, the range extender will reboot to apply your settings. Please allow up to 2 minutes for this process to complete.  Once the range extender finishes rebooting, the LEDs on the front of the range extender should appear as follows.
  TL-WA850RE/TL-WA854RE (WA854RE will not have an Ethernet LED indicator)
  Successful Setup
         The range extender light should remain solid
The Wireless LED will continue to flash
The Signal Strength indicators will range from 3 to 5 LEDs depending on how close the range extender is to the wireless router.

Q: TP-Link IPv6 Ready
A:

[Assistant]
TP-Link is ready for IPv6
As one of the most competitive providers of networking products, we at TP-Link have carried through our plan to improve our routers by ensuring compliance with IPv6 (please check the support list to see which products are compatible now). TP-Link has been and will continue to provide more high quality products supporting IPv6.
  IPv6 — the foundation of the next generation of Internet
With the ever-increasing number of new devices being connected to the Internet, the number of available IP addresses using the original IPv4 standard will soon be depleted. The exhaustion of IPv4 addresses makes support for IPv6 essential to satisfy the growth of IP address users and also important for the next generation of Internet.
  The benefits of IPv6
Compared with IPv4, the latest internet version IPv6 not only provides a vastly larger pool of available IP addresses, but also offers a lot of new services, such as privacy, higher security, Built-in multicasting, New QoS (Quality of Service), which brings superior usability and improved user experiences.
  Support List
Some of the following TP-Link products are now compliant with IPv6 by default or on their latest hardware/firmware. Customers can download the firmware from the TP-Link website and update accordingly.
Note:
 For the product that we don’t indicate which hardware version supports IPv6, it supports IPv6 since V1 version and also the later hardware versions.
 For the product that we indicate it supports IPv6 since a certain hardware version such as TL-WR1043ND_V3, its V1 and V2 both don’t support IPv6.
It’s suggested that you upgrade the latest firmware version if the current firmware of the product lists below doesn’t support IPv6: support/download/

Q: Brief introduction of cloud functions on TP-Link wireless router(New Logo)
A:

[Assistant]
Note:
1. This FAQ is suitable for TP-Link wireless router with cloud functions, such as Archer C8 V3, Archer C9 V3/V4 and so on.
2. Currently most of the applicable models only support the online upgrade feature, and other cloud functions will be added in the future firmware.
3. As for Archer C5400 V1, only the EU version supports the cloud services. Please check the hardware version on the label at the back of the router.
Cloud functions are newly added to some TP-Link wireless routers such as Archer C8 V3. Customers need to register and bind a TP-Link cloud account (also called a TP-Link ID) to the router (click here for how to) so that they can enjoy the cloud functions including online upgrade, remote management with Tether APP, TP-LINK DDNS function, etc.
Here is a brief introduction for cloud functions on TP-Link wireless router.
Online Upgrade:
Thanks to the TP-Link cloud server, customers don’t have to manually download and install the updated firmware any more. Once a new firmware is released, it will be published on the TP-Link cloud server and pushed to the customer’s router. As for the customer, just a simple tap on the Upgrade icon, then everything including downloading, upgrading and restarting will be completed automatically, which seems far more convenient.
For the firmware with important updates, a prompt message will pop up on the browser or APP reminding customers to install the updates.
Remote management with Tether APP:
TP-Link Tether provides the easiest way to manage routers or range extenders through your iOS or Android devices. With a unique, exclusive TP-Link ID, you have the power to manage your router anywhere and anytime, including checking the status of your networking device, who’s online and what their privileges are. In addition, Tether will also alert you of any firmware updates to ensure the best, most advanced Wi-Fi experience in your network. So if you need to reboot, update, or reconfigure your home router while at the office or on vacation, Cloud makes it easy.
For more details about Tether, please refer to the link below:
https://www.tp-link.comhttps://static.tp-link.com/common/Promo/en/Tether/index.html
TP-LINK DDNS function:
DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System) function allows you to assign a fixed domain name to a dynamic Internet IP address, which is very useful when you’re hosting your own website, FTP server, or other servers behind the router.
TP-LINK DDNS is built on the TP-Link cloud server and requires easier steps to set up the DDNS function compared to some other third party DDNS service providers such as DynDNS and NO-IP.
For how to set up the TP-LINK DDNS function, please click here.
It’s not the end of Cloud. Let’s look forward to more new cloud functions in the near future!

Q: Why my PC’s Local Area Connection Shows TP-Link Router’s Wireless Network Name？
A:

[Assistant]
Note: This article is not relevant to you if your PC is connected 5GHz wireless of TP-Link routers at the first time.
There is one more thing you need to know before you read this article：
The wired Mac address and 2.4GHz wireless Mac address of TP-Link routers are the same, but the wired Mac address and 5GHz wireless Mac address of TP-link routers are different.
In some special cases you will find that your PC’s Local Area Connection/Ethernet shows TP-link router’s wireless network name, such as below
You may wonder whether this will affect normal functions of your PC and why the wired network connection shows wireless network name of TP-Link router.
Will this matter affect normal functions of your PC?
First, we want to claim that it won’t affect the internet connection or other functions of your PC, and if you don’t like the name, you can change it to whatever you like.
Here are the steps (here take windows 7 as an example):
Go to Start—Control Panel—Network and Internet—Network and Sharing Center, left click on Network Picture.
Change the Network Name to whatever you like.
Why does the wired network connection show wireless network name?
When a PC first connect to a new network, Windows will ask you to choose a Network Type, such as Public Network, Work Network and Home Network. Then it will create a Network Name for this Network.
When the PC first connects to a 2.4GHz wireless network, it will use the SSID( wireless network name) of the 2.4GHz wireless network as its Network Name.
Then the PC connects to wired network of the same router, the PC recognizes the wired Mac address and wireless 2.4GHz’s Mac address are same, then the PC will consider it is connected to the same network as before. So it will use the 2.4GHz wireless network name it saved before as its Local Area Connection’s Network Name.
There is a second case:
When a PC connects to wired network of a router at first, it will use Network as its Local Area Connection‘s network name automatically, no matter what wireless network name the router has.
If Network has been used before by a different router, then it shows Network 2.

Q: How to find the serial number on TP-Link devices
A:

[Assistant]
Every TP-Link product has a unique serial number (S/N) and it is needed when you want to register on website or to apply for a RMA case number. They can only be 11/12/13 hexadecimal digits.
This article will guide you to find the serial number of your TP-Link device.
Method 1 Look over from the Box
You can find the serial number on the device’s box.
We take the Tapo RV20 as an example:
Note:
For some products, smart bulbs like LB xxx, Antennas, some MiNi routers (like TL-WR702N), or some wireless adapters (like Archer T1U, Archer T2U, Archer T2U Plus, Archer T3U, Archer T3U Plus, Archer T4U V1&V2, TL-WN723N, TL-WN725N, TL-WN823N, etc.), there is no label on the product itself.
Method 2 Look over from Device Label
You can find the serial number on the device’s label.
For most products, please turn over the device, you can see a label at the back of the device. It is usually started with “S/N:” or marked as “Serial Number”.
We take the Deco as an example:
Note:
The serial number of the Tapo Robot Vacuum is not on the bottom label, you will need to remove the dustbin/water tank to find it.

Q: How to use the Ping command
A:

[Assistant]
Overview:
Ping (Packet Internet Groper) is a command which tests the connection between two network nodes by sending packets to a host and then reporting the time it takes to get a response. The nodes can be in a Local Area Network, Wide Area Network or anywhere on the internet. And you can ping an IP Address or Domain Name.
Format:
Enter the word ping, followed by a space, then the domain name/ip address (then hit enter to see your ping output).
Results:
If it shows a series of replies, the connection is working. The time shows you how fast the connection is. If you see a "timed out" error instead of a reply, there is a breakdown somewhere between your computer and the domain.
On Windows:
In Windows, select Start-> Programs-> Accessories-> Command Prompt. This will give you a window like the one below. Or click Start and go to Run, type cmd in the box and click OK.
1. Ping an IP address.
2. Ping a domain name.
On Mac:
1. Open Spotlight. Click the Spotlight icon, which resembles a magnifying glass, in the top-right corner of the screen.
2. Search for Network Utility.
3. Double-click Network Utility, click on Ping.
On linux:
Open a telnet/TERMINAL window.
On iPhone:
Download Wi-Fi Toolkit from the App Store.
For Deco users (Android and iOS):
Go to Deco App > More > Deco Lab > Ping Test.

Q: How to prevent ARP Cheat or Attack
A:

[Assistant]
In network the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is the standard protocol for finding a host´s MAC Address when only its IP Address is known. Via modifying IP Address or MAC Address to achieve ARP cheat, it will be a large challenge for data transmitting normally.
From the way of affecting network connection, there are two possible ARP attacks, one is cheating router and other one is cheating computers. Of course, the two attacks may occur at the same time. Anyhow, once there is ARP cheat in network, the data between computers and router will be sent to wrong MAC Address and the connection can’t establish normally.
How do we prevent ARP cheat? As the two cheat ways, we have to prevent ARP cheat both on router and computer.
What do I need to prepare before setting preventing ARP cheat?
When you enable ARP cheat preventing function (IP Address & MAC Address binding) on TP-Link Router, you’d better do not obtain IP Address dynamically on your computers, as it will obtain different IP Address with the one in IP Address & MAC Address binding entry. Please set static TCP/IP properties on your computer.
Step 1
Assign static TCP/IP properties on your computer manually. Please go to our website and check configuration for How to configure TCP/IP Properties of my computer to connect to TP-Link router .
Step 2
Disable DHCP Server on the router after you login the Web-based Utility of it.
(1) Click DHCP-DHCP Settings on the left page.
(2) Select DHCP Server as Disable.
(3) Click Save to save settings.
How to set on the router to prevent ARP cheat?
Step 1
Open the web browser and type the LAN IP address of the router in the address bar, the default IP address of TP-Link router is 192.168.1.1/192.168.0.1, and then press Enter.
Step 2
Type the username and password in the login page, the default username and password both are admin.
Step 3
Click IP & MAC Binding->Binding setting on the left page.
Step 4
Select Enable ARP Binding, and click Save.
Step 5
Click ARP List on the left page, you can see ARP table the router learns.
If you can confirm the ARP table is correct, please click Load Add and Bind All, then all IP Address and MAC Address of your computers showed on the ARP table will be binded.
But if you can’t confirm the ARP table is no problem, please add IP Address and MAC Address of your computers manually.
(1) Click Add New to set IP & MAC Bingding.
(2) Enable Bind, and type the MAC Address and IP Address of your computer.
You should know the MAC addresses of the computers which you would like to allow them to access the Internet.You can check them on the computers with command prompt.
(1)Click Start->Run, type cmd and press Enter.
(2) Type ipconfig/all at the prompt window, press Enter, it will show the MAC address and other address information of this computer.
Step 6
Click Save to save the settings.
How to set on computer to prevent ARP cheat?
At first you should know MAC Address of the router, you can check the information on LAN
Status after you login Web-based Utility.
ARP command program is built-in on Microsoft Operation System, we can use it on prompt command.
Step 1
Click Start->Run, type cmd and press Enter.
Step 2
Type arp –s 192.168.1.1 XX-XX-XX-fa-5b-2b on the window and press Enter.
192.168.1.1 is router’s IP Address and XX-XX-XX-fa-5b-2b is router’s MAC Address. Then type arp –a on the window, we can check the type of entry we add is Static.
Till now, we have added static arp binding entry on computer then the data to router won’t be sent to wrong place. But we will find the entry will disappear after computer rebooting and we need to type the command again.
How can we do to make it running automatically without typing command manually every time?
Step 1
We need to create a batch file with extension name which is .bat, such as static_arp.bat, and edit it. Please type ARP command on it to bind IP Address and MAC Address of the router on your computer, then save it.
Step 2
Then click Start->All Programs, double click Startup, locate the batch file static_arp.bat in the folder.
After doing this, it will run arp command automatically when the computer reboots every time.

Title: Security Advisory 2021-01-19-1 - dnsmasq multiple vulnerabilities

Multiple flaws (7 CVEs) has been found in the dnsmasq package. Dnsmasq has two sets of vulnerabilities, one set of memory corruption issues handling DNSSEC and a second set of issues validating DNS responses. These vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to corrupt memory which can lead to denial of service, information exposure and potentially remote code execution on the target device. The DNS response validation vulnerabilities allow an attacker to use unsolicited DNS responses to poison the DNS cache resulting in redirection of users to malicious sites.
These vulnerabilities are also referred to as DNSpooq and there is full security advisory available as well.
1. Configuration based mitigation via LuCI web interface
Max. concurrent queries is dnsforwardmax, so set it to recommended value of 50
Size of DNS query cache is cachesize, so disable the caching by setting it to value of 0
DNSSEC is  dnssec, so you need to disable it if enabled and available
2. Configuration based mitigation via commandline
Mitigation for DNS cache poisoning is disabling of caching:
uci set dhcp.@dnsmasq[0].cachesize='0'
Mitigation for DNSSEC vulnerability is disabling of DNSSEC feature:
uci set dhcp.@dnsmasq[0].dnssec='0'
It's recommended to reduce the maximum of queries allowed to be forwarded (default is 150):
uci set dhcp.@dnsmasq[0].dnsforwardmax='50'
Then you should commit changes and restart dnsmasq:
uci commit dhcp && /etc/init.d/dnsmasq restart
3. Package upgrade to fixed dnsmasq version
You need to update the affected dnsmasq package variant you're using with the
command below.
 opkg update; opkg upgrade $(opkg list-installed dnsmasq* | cut -d' ' -f1)
Then verify, that you're running fixed version.
opkg list-installed dnsmasq*
The above command should output following:
dnsmasq - 2.80-16.2 for stable 19.07 release
dnsmasq - 2.83-1 for master/snapshot

[Assistant]
This package upgrade process doesn't work for my Linksys RE6500 running 19.07.5. It doesn't have an updated dnsmasq file after the process, at least for the time being. It still reports version 2.80-16.1. Worked fine on WRT1900AC v1.

Will there be an updated package for the 18.06 tree?
I have a fleet deployed and can't move to 19.07 yet.

Currently there is no update to fix this problem for the 18.06 release branch planned.
We did the last release in the 18.06 branch in December 2020 and communicated that we are not planning to do any 18.06.10 release.

Paul will initiate a forum thread to discuss the use of donated funds for travel stipends. Here
Battlemesh intends to incorporate OpenWrt branding in their marketing, and we are supportive of this initiative.
Rust Support in Core
The kernel is beginning to incorporate components relevant to our needs, particularly in drivers/net/phy.
This integration would facilitate better compatibility with projects not utilizing Cargo, specifically in include/meson.mk.
Daniel will engage with the Rust community within OpenWrt to encourage contributions to the core.
LLVM and Clang Support
Discussion on including a full host and target build of LLVM and Clang to enhance support for Rust packages that depend on rust-bindgen.
This would enable the development of projects utilizing LLVM for JIT compilation on the target, such as Mesa LLVMPipe, Vulkan drivers, and OpenCL support (intel_clc).
Ansuel and Paul will investigate a centralized ccache solution to improve build efficiency. If issues arise with ccache, alternative solutions will be explored.
Proposal for Compiled Video.git Feed
We propose the introduction of a weekly or monthly build of the video feed to provide precompiled binaries. Recent developments include support for local displays, with successful implementations of Wayland, Mesa (including Vulkan), GTK+4, WPEWebKit, and two ports of Doom. These have been tested on x86/64 architectures with Intel and AMD GPUs, as well as on ARM using Lima and Panfrost. Additionally, support has been established for SPI-connected MIPI-DBI displays on devices lacking dedicated GPU or video interfaces. WPEWebKit can facilitate local displays for applications such as Grafana, LuCI, or WiFi credentials via QR codes. Given the extensive scope of LLVM, Mesa, and WebKit, which significantly exceed the lines of code of the rest of OpenWrt combined, it is advisable not to include these in standard buildbot runs unless we implement CCACHE instances in each data center.
Ansuel and Paul will further investigate this proposal.
Seccomp Support for RISC-V (USE_SECCOMP in procd)
Daniel will explore the implementation of seccomp support for the RISC-V architecture.
LoongArch64 Support
Currently, LoongArch64 is unsupported due to a lack of available hardware for testing.
We welcome any hardware donations to facilitate this effort.

Increased use of ucode instead of Bash scripts.
Do you mean Ash scripts? OpenWrt doesn't include bash by default, due to size constraints, and as I understand uses the built-in Ash from BusyBox.

Release 24.10
I've been testing upgrades with auc (on 23.05) and owut (on 24.10 and snapshot) to do various back-n-forth major version upgrades and I think we're pretty solid for all the opkg-based versions. Once the linux_kernel info propagates through the buildbots and gets into all the profiles.json files, the ASU server will provide all clients (LuCI ASU app, auc, owut and Firmware Selector) with the required package lists in the proper form.
Just ran a test seconds ago on 23.05 -> 24.10-snapshot, worked fine; no reason it should not work for the 24.10.0-rcN releases...

Addendum:
If you do auc (23.05) or owut (24.10-SNAPSHOT) and see a bunch of lines like these, that just means the profiles.json file for your platform has not been updated yet.
auc:  installed package kmod-blah-blah cannot be found in remote list!
owut: kmod-blah-blah    6.6.54-r1    missing to-version
You can check the profile for the linux_kernel entry, locate the file as below, but use your desired release, target and subtarget. If linux_kernel is present and you still see issues, let me know (it should be in all of the 24.10 and snapshots, releases before that use a different mechanism).

configuration will be preserved in most cases.
Warning
There is no migration path for targets that switched from swconfig
to DSA. In that case,
sysupgrade will refuse to proceed with an appropriate error message: Image version mismatch. image 1.1 device 1.0 Please wipe config during upgrade (force required) or reinstall. Config cannot be migrated from swconfig to DSA Image check failed
Known issues
None so far. Please report bugs and issues!

[Assistant]
I'm surprised to see this announcement while many targets have not their files available yet. For example ath79/generic.

Please note, the same issue that is affecting UBI based MTD devices also breaks for 21.02.6 release due to the kernel 5.4.238 also includes the bug. The dev team should have applied the emergency patch already widely known and confirmed to work over the past month.

The UBI fault also is a known issue contrary to the posting stating otherwise since it is also based on the same code shared amongst the 5.4, 5.10, 5.15, and the 6.x branches. The correction should be refreshed in this branch as well.
