ar71xx-generic

  • Onion Omega
  • TP-Link TL-MR13U v1

Bugfixes

Build

Don’t overwrite the opkg repository key on each build.

AirOS 5.6.x compatiblity

Downgrading to AirOS 5.5.x before flashing Gluon on Airmax M XM/XW devices (NanoStation, Bullet, …) is not necessary anymore.

Status page

  • Fix purging of disappered neighbours from the list
  • Don’t clear the signal graphs when scrolling in mobile browsers
  • Improve browser compability (don’t assume the Internationalization API is available, fixes the display of numbers in Firefox for Android)

Config mode

  • Strip trailing whitespace from number input fields (LuCI’s validator doesn’t catch this)
  • Don’t allow negative bandwidth limits

Failsafe mode

  • Fix entering the failsafe mode on the TL-WDR4900.

Known Issues

  • Default TX power on many Ubiquiti devices is too high, correct offsets are unknown (#94)

    Reducing the TX power in the Expert Mode is recommended.

  • The MAC address of the WAN interface is modified even when Mesh-on-WAN is disabled (#496)

    This may lead to issues in environments where a fixed MAC address is expected (like VMware when promicious mode is disallowed).

  • Inconsistent respondd/announced API (#522)

    The current API is inconsistent and will be replaced eventually. The old API will still be supported for a while.

  • Nondeterministic production of broken images for some (very old) hardware (#669)

    At the moment it seems like only the TL-WR841N v5 is affected.
