Thanks to everyone who took part in the development of the new firmware version and bug fixes. Thanks BS and gurus.

chroot is enabled as a default setting to the tmp directory
Code:
chroot: "/tmp"
maybe that caused an issue? especially if the user didn't include the chroot setting?
Well I tried it once, in builds < 50044 a custom config in /jffs/etc/ only works if you use "service unbound stop && service unbound start" or configure chroot.
But the variable chroot: "/jffs/etc" is not enough.
You also have to move the root.key , the root.hints to /etc/jffs and set the variable "directory: "/jffs/etc/".
So in builds < 50044 unbound only works if you fully configure chroot.
And actually that was not the point when the possibility to use a custom config was created.
Well as I said the problem or the current problems are due to the switch to the new "restart method".
The restart method does not stop and start unbound but sends a "hang up" to the process and it only reloads the configuration -- which it then no longer has access to in the chroot jail.

I think the last 4 versions i have started having authentication issues with dnsomatic. And by last 4 versions, I mean the last four updates, which i have tried, i tend to update when new ones come out so 49934 to current..
I didnt catch the issue till now, but it might go back even further. It seems my login to dnsomatic is no longer working. I tried several ways to check if this was a dnsomatic problem but all seems well there and could not find any changes or news of changes...that doesnt mean they dont exist, just that i didnt see them.
I always retain a backup, but have not had a chance to revert to say 2 weeks ago to say for sure but im guessing im not the only one using it so either way, someone can let me know if its dnsomatic or the error is in ddwrt. I did see the stuff about unbound but dont run that, the only complication i can think of is i use an external pi to serve adguard as my dnslookup, but no changes made to anything but ddwrt...and all the normal dns lookup and wireguard stuff is working. I just now thought i might have to make sure in their provided blocklist they didnt add dnsomatic, but that would be pretty dumb, so ill verify that but i'm assuming that is not the case.
config for ddns has not changed but FYI
service ///// custom
dydns server ///// updates.dnsomatic.com
users and password the same
hostname ///// all.dnsomatic.com
url ///// https://updates.dnsomatic.com:443/nic/update?hostname=
additional options ///// no
external ip check ///// no
force update interval ///// 10

updated R8500 to 50057,
ssh connection refused when trying to SCP file to router for updating from CLI.
update from web GUI works
WIFI speed are terrible.
when tested side by side to a ASUS RT-AX86U (stock firmware) the ASUS router achieves near 800mbs. the R8500 barely gets over 95mbs on any firmwares tested so far.
prior versions of ddwrt firmware have dropped clients off randomly. this version has not been running long enough to see if it still does the same thing. uptime is only about an hour now.

I'm having similar issues on my R7000. For me the last builds that worked well are 07-04-2022-r49418 and 07-09-2022-r49467 after that I have had weird performance issues with wireless clients, especially if they use and older chip.

Trying to setup VLAN on port 4 bricked the router. Currently the router does not respond to any ping even in the boot load mode. no TTL=100 no TTL=64. Nothing. (I have static IP setup on my laptop)
I attached the Serial Logs after this.
I also tried to erase the NVRAM from the CFE but router still bricked.
Insanity. It worked but anything Cisco corporate runs.....and according to those threads it was last year or 2 ago, wonder why mine still worked till a week or 2 ago..
Thanks so much Dale...had read several posts and the pages related but didnt think it would revert to the reversion, or whatever crazy thing they got going on over there.
I'm quite new and flashed a Linksys EA6400 to DD-WRT last month.
Today I upgrade from an august version to the today version which went fine except for some error notices which don't seem to have caused issues.
I just have 1 quick question. I always loose all settings after a firmware upgrade.
Probably because I always do a erase nvram command before reboot (seeing it advised somewhere).
In the beginning of this thread I see this command:
Code:
CLI Flash: 'cd /tmp' then 'wget {file URL}' (http only) or 'curl -O {file URL}' (http, https, ftp). 'write {file} linux' then 'reboot'.
However, in the installation guide for future upgrades, there it says there to write to linux2 first.
Is it still best to write to linux2 first and afterwards to linux? Or has the writing command to linux2 become obsolete? Since I don't see it in the mentioned command here in this thread.
Just asking because I don't want to brick things by not doing maybe necessary commands on upgrades.
