Issues

Disclaimer: The following known issues are all personal measurements, and there may be unknown issues. I am not responsible for any issues caused by the firmware

* As of the editing of this article, since the memory leak problem of ax6's openwrt is still unresolved, my personal suggestion is to restart every once in a while and add the following commands through the system-startup item-local startup script (note: to exit Before 0):

echo "0 4 * * * sleep 5 && touch /etc/banner && reboot" >> /etc/crontabs/root
echo "0 16 * * * sleep 5 && touch /etc/banner && reboot" >> /etc/crontabs/root

Then restart the router once. It will restart at 4 am and 16 pm every day. If you can understand the principle of crontab, you can also customize the restart time.

  • (update)The problem of luci stuck due to memory seems to be fixed (I haven't seen luci crash for several days after booting), but due to at least 5.15 kernel, it can't open 160Mhz.
  • (Update again) If you want to open 160Mhz, please find Generic 802.11acaxn in the network-wireless item, click edit, set the channel to 48 (pro-test available, you can also try other channels), and then set the country to US - United States, save and apply the settings, wait a minute
