[WARNING]: This thread is only for feedback on this beta release for developers and the community's benefit.
DO NOT flash this beta release unless you understand the risks involved and device specificrecovery methods.
Avoid discussions! Create threads for questions, general problems or use search; this thread is not for support.
Please list router model & revision, operating & wireless mode(s) and exact filename/firmware image flashed.
Issues, observations, and/or workarounds reported:
• DNScrypt 1.95 can still be used in the GUI, but v2 (not compatible) requires Golang and thus Entware. #6246
• WDS does not work on Broadcom ARM devices(only MIPS<->MIPS) & bridge modes on k4.4 devices may sometimes work
in some configurations for certain builds but are not supported by the bcmdhd driver. Use client or repeater instead.
• VAPs not working at bootfixed for unbridged VAPs in40562 - 40566. Effective startup commandsdiscussion thread is here.
• If start-up scripts do not work from USB add a delay, e.g. wait script or 'sleep 25'.
• Broadcom ARM devices if 5 GHz channels are missing, via Telnet/SSH: 'nvram set brcm_unlock=1' 'nvram commit' 'reboot'
• Show us your findings with steps to reproduce, configuration, output, logs and important information below!
Important:
• For issues provide applicable info: 'dmesg', 'cat /tmp/var/log/messages', syslog, klog, serial, strace, tcpdump, wireshark etc.
• Any firewall NAT or WAN issues, show output: 'iptables -vnL', 'iptables -t nat -vnL', 'iptables -t mangle -vnL' and /tmp/.ipt file.
• Search SVN tickets & discuss in forum before opening. Before reporting: reset & manually set up, not restore from a backup.
• Please include operating & wireless modes (e.g. Gateway, Router, AP, CB, WDS, Mesh) & relevant configuration information.
Router/Version: Linksys wrt320n
File: dd-wrt.v24-46294_NEWD-2_K3.x_mega_wrt320n.bin
Kernel: Linux 4.4.264 #8005 Tue Apr 6 13:23:05 +07 2021 mips
Previous: 46239
Reset: Yes Mode/Status: Defaults
Issues/Errors: Yes, strong router passwords do not work.
I noticed this with 46294, 46239, and a version from several months prior. I forget which. Simple router passwords work. Strong passwords with special characters, e.g. `!@#$%^&* etc, which have worked in the past no longer work when setting up the router again after a reset.
The wiki says to "use numbers and valid non-alphabetic characters", but doesn't actually say which non-alphanumeric characters are valid or invalid.
Also, if I use the same strong password with special characters that doesn't work as a router password, as the WPA shared key, I have no problem connecting to wifi using it. So password special character handling is inconsistent, if indeed that is the issue.
