Welcome to x86 / x64 r62966 beta release thread for reporting, feedback to developers & community benefit.
Please do not flash builds until installation is understood, risks involved and device specificrecovery methods.
Avoid discussions, create threads for questions, general problems or use search; this thread is not for support.
List router model & version or revision, operating & wireless modes & exact filename/firmware image flashed.
CLI Flash: 'cd /tmp' then 'wget {file URL}' (httponly) or 'curl -O {file URL}' (http, https, ftp) 'write {file} linux' then 'reboot'.
Issues, observations, and/or workarounds reported:
• WebUI: Clear history or use a portable. Temporary cache bypass: Ctrl+F5, Cmd+Shift+R or new private window/incognito.
• Please report findings with steps needed to reproduce, configuration, clients, output, logs and important information below!
Important:
• Detail issues & relevant configs, logs: syslog klog 'dmesg' 'cat /tmp/var/log/messages' nvram set console_debug=1, serial.
• Firewall NAT: 'iptables -vnL' 'iptables -t nat -vnL' 'iptables -t mangle -vnL' & 'cat /tmp/.ipt'. Debug Analyze: stracetcpdump.
• Gremlins: reboot. cold boot. Reset & reconfigure not restore backup. Search Trac & discuss in forum before opening tickets.
• Include operating & wireless modes (e.g. Gateway, Router, AP, SB, WDS, Mesh) and applicable configurations to reproduce.
DNS resolution not working.
Same as previous release, also php does not work anymore.
Code:
Warning: Failed loading Zend extension 'opcache.so' (tried: /etc/php/modules/opcache.so (Error loading shared library /etc/php/modules/opcache.so: No such file or directory), /etc/php/modules/opcache.so.so (Error loading shared library /etc/php/modules/opcache.so.so: No such file or directory)) in Unknown on line 0
Segmentation fault
DNS Resolution not working, disabling Wireguard fixes this.
But I'm not sure if this is wireguards fault... after r62606 (last working version) nftables was introduced, too. Nevertheless without DNS no bueno as main router.
Unbound and DNSmasq active and seemingly doing their job, but no name resolution.
nslookup cannot resolve other adresses then the ones provided by hand in dnsmasq settings (see screenshot below).
Ping to ip adress in www like 9.9.9.9 working.
Back to r62606 name resolution working again with wireguard enabled and php working fine, too.
Router/Version: industrial PC N4000 4GB RAM, 2*intel i226-v
File: dd-wrt_x64-webupgrade_full_vga_2GB.bin
Mode: Gateway, SFE disabled, Wireguard for external access, WAN (ETH0) (PPPoE/VLAN7) to GPON Modem, ETH1 to LAN, Automatic Drive Mount disabled - using own mount script for USB Disk, nfs to access USB3-ext4 SSD, Force reconnect 5:00 in the morning, using my own local NTP, CPU governour set to ondemand by script, Ignore WAN DNS, Recursive DNS Resolving (Unbound), using NAT66.
Reset: No
Status: BORKED. No name resolution until wireguard is disabled. Also php seems to be broken, opcache.so module missing.
Screenshot of my relevant settings:
ALSO
"Uploadspeed of updatefile capped" - first observed in r62268 std (10/09/25)
The transmission speed for firmwareupdate from browser towards this router is slow. With older releases takes a few seconds, with newer 300s++ making it tedious to test or flash back and forth to review possible solutions.
This happens with firefox, firefox nightly, both tested on X86 or aarch64 and debian13 aarch64 chromium and android duckduckgo.
Strange, since I can copy files to router or download files in its /tmp way faster (NVMe drive!).
Also I tested this on several PCs, all wired and set to 1GBits/s.
WAN Speed still there, only speed for firmwareupdate is slow.
