Arm based LHG5AC ros 6.40.3 (fw3.43), cannot upgrade nor downgrade, cant touch wlan
whenever I disable or try to change wlan protocol it results in
sudden reboot and prints in LOG:
“kernel failure in previous boot”
tried to upload new fw and reboot it cutting power off ( by omnitik managed POE )
results no upgrade and file from file list disappears.
ordinary /sys reboot with new ros files also doesn’t upgrade and prints
kernel failure…
any IDEA how to get this crappy piece of hardware to work ?
Support recommended a full reinstall using netinstall, but I was lucky to get away with software reset (either with /system reset-factory-defaults or by holding reset button).
I had the same concern, as one of the devices I had to reset was also on a highsite. But unfortunately there does not appear to be any other solution (and yes, I tried everything from manually upgrading, uploading upgrade with ftp etc).
I suspect the problem comes in when restoring a backup from a version which is not fully compatible.
That said, in the one instance it was a new config which acted up (SXTsq).
If you have alternative access to your router (via LTE etc) perhaps you could try manual reset and reconfigure remotely.
ok, I did manage to reset to default remotely ( lucky me i’m on eth side )
and after testing similar ARM AC mtik on workbench i figured out that
on 6.40.3 You can not change back from nstreme to other wireless protocol.
as long as nv2/80211 is choosen there is no problem, but setting nstreme renders device
into dead end → kernel failure.
so I reset to default, than upgraded to last RC and voilla now have decent uptime with reasonably good throughput.
