Managed to get my hAP AC2 upgraded to 7.13.1 and having some issues.
First lets start with the upgrade process. I upgraded to 7.13 and the only way I could make it install because of limited internal storage was to netinstall 7.13 and the qcom ac wifi package. Performed a factory reset and started configuring the router.
After configuring the router on and off for a couple days I noticed that my settings were reverting. It almost acts like I have ‘Safe Mode’ on and it reverts after a period of time but I don’t. Some of my configuration is stored properly but when I begin to make any more changes past that once the router reboots are lost.
So I thought maybe it is an issue with the version. I tried to do a package upgrade from winbox to 7.13.1 but it never applied on reboot. I decided to netinstall 7.13.1 and that worked but still having the config revert on reboot even on the current version.
Also in the logs I have noticed on the reboot on the first line in the log I am seeing error ‘router was rebooted without proper shutdown, probably kernel failure’.
Any ideas or suggestions to get this device stable on 7.13 and keep my config?
Is anyone else running 7.13 on a hAP AC2 successfully?
Check flash space. I bet it’s really low (if not 0).
Long story short: 7.13 is simply too fat for ARM devices with ac radio (where it’s sensible to install qcom ac driver package) and 16MB flash size. No matter what MT support says.
My hAP ac2 is happily running 7.13 … but without any of wireless driver packages (neither wifi-qcom-ac nor wireless). Which is fine with me, I’m using device as router only, its location is inside metallic closet in the underground (hence wireless doesn’t make any sense whatsoever) …
Ya finally found the issue before reading your post. Flash was at 0.
I decided to reflash with netinstall and I had plenty of space with a defaut config.
After fighting though manual config for a while I realized that importing the root certificates to communicate over DOH the space went from 700k down to 0.
I tried to remove them but space never back up so I reflashed again with netinstall.
This time when I imported the certificates I imported only the Cloudflare roots and not all of the others that I originally pulled from https://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem
I’m sitting at 620 KiB with most of my config in place and running 7.13.1 with the qcom-ac package along side it.
