Version 1.13.0 : Based on OpenWrt 19.07.8

[ViBE]

i have to mention that a friend of mine also tried out 1.13 on his TP-Link Archer C6 v2 EU. as far as i remember one of the C7 hardware versions also use the same SoC and he also noticed that the flashing was slow as hell. first he thought it became bricked cause the boot process even took about 10 minutes after installation. we tried out several OpenWRT firmwares cause he thought it might be a Gargoyle specific issue. but it's not. even the rom space decreased with every flash. he tried TFTP method too. it might be a hardware related thing. i read several forums that this hardware became bricked very often after OpenWRT. it's a horror.

Hello!
I was wondering whether it would make sense (and wouldn't be too complicated) to re-release 1.13.0 on the latest 19.07 version, being 19.07.10 ? Has anybody tried?

If nobody has tried yet, is there maybe somebody who could give an estimation of the effort needed and where to start? Thx!

There’s no “re-releasing 1.13”.
The change to latest 19.07 should be relatively trivial as suggested above.
I can push an untested change and let people test, but my efforts are focussed elsewhere sorry.

I tried to look around https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/comp ... .v19.07.10. But I cant find commit ID similar to put in for "openwrt_commit". Could you please let me know where to find it? Thanks!

Just be warned that I think that the latest 19.07 might require removing 131-kernel-ipheth-fix-EOVERFLOW.patch from the patches-generic directory if the device profile includes the iPhone hotspot packages; I think this patch is in the upstream kernel update that arrived around 19.07.10 and you'll get a package build failure for one of the iPhone hotspot related packages if the patch clashes with the kernel update.

The GL-MT300N-V2 (Mango), if that's what you have, is supported by my MT76x8 experimental build.

i can't do a comprehensive test but did what i can. overall it looks good. BUT now i noticed an issue. if i connect it via cable to my main router it cannot get IP for some reason.

Just reporting that in my production network I have been battling stability problems.

The router was blocked WAN >> LAN

Tried "Restore Default Configuration Now" a few times with no luck. In the end I had to re-flash, that brought the router back to life.

1.12.x is more stable but I think my router got hacked so I moved to 1.13.0 ..................

I've installed the bare minimum of features and now i'm not going to push any more buttons ............

I do wonder if when installing OpenVPN for example that I didn't wait long enough before pressing the next page and the firmware became corrupt?
