Welcome to Broadcom r58531 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.
Router Model: Netgear R7000
Firmware Version: DD-WRT v3.0-r58531 std (10/09/24)
Kernel Version: Linux 4.4.302-rt232-st56 #12452 SMP Tue Oct 8 09:04:45 +07 2024 armv7l
Previous/Reset: DD-WRT v3.0-r57707 / No
Mode/Status: 2.4 AP - 5GHz AP - OpenVPN
Issues/Errors: SSID of 5GHz AP was reset to "hidden"; the reset actually occurred during an aborted upgrade to r58389, but the upgrade to r58531 -- shortly afterwards -- didn't restore the original SSID. The SSID was manaully restored.
Router/Version: Asus RT-AC87U R
Update method: WebUpgrade
File/Kernel: asus_rt-ac87u-firmware.trx_58531 std / Linux 4.4.302-rt232-st56 #12460 SMP Wed Oct 9 04:43:37 +07 2024 armv7l
Previous/Reset: r58464 / no
Mode/Status: Gateway, Open VPN Client / Up and running for 6:21 hours
CPU Temperature: CPU 70.1 °C / WL0 42.0 °C / WL1 0.0 °C (ambient temperature 20.0 °C)
Issues/Errors: no
As always, the Quantenna chip has its own quirks. This is a closed source chipset
There is no way to install a channel.
But you can disable 5.0 GHz. @mpgalaxy hack "If you set the radio mode to station bridge and disable the network mode, the 5GHz device will turn off completely even after reboot."
The fact is that the router is connected to the Internet (to the Internet provider). And it reports an error, the red WAN indicator flashes (the icon in the form of a planet). The internet works, I just think it's a glitch.
But this does not affect the work.
Just relax
1. CPU temperature is not displayed correctly.
CPU temperature readings started changing after one second from 68.1 - 70.1 °C
Thank you BS and gurus! _________________ Atheros

CLI update, no problem. But...
Linksys EA6900 (xVortex CFE, as gateway) would not update; tried a bunch of things. Always keeps the previous version:
DD-WRT v3.0-r55179 std (c) 2024 NewMedia-NET GmbH (02/24/24)
I tried CLI and GUI updates, messed with 'bootpartition', etc. Also tried a few previous versions. What have y'all been using lately for EA6900 + xVortex? _________________ #NAT/SFE/CTF: limited speed w/ DD#Repeater issues#DD-WRT info: FAQ, Builds, Types, Modes, Changes, Demo#

Ah... I saw reference to that when researching this; and needing to upgrade via CFE, but I have this set up for my sis-in-law (not nearby...visiting) and my travel laptop doesn't have a LAN port so I didn't want to mess with that. I missed this (very) key part though in my haste...

to make matters worse on builds past 55XXX you cannot update via the command line any more as mtd write always tries to write to the second boot partition (linux 2).

...that would have saved me an hour today. I even noticed the CLI upgrade output had a line that mentioned 'linux2', which seemed suspicious. Thanks egc
Update: I was able to update to this build using the CFE webserver w/ static IP (hold reset at powerup until the lights starts blinking):

Unfortunately it didn't fix the internet issues even with a GUI reset. But 'nvram erase' fixed it along with the logo light (no longer need the gpio startup script, and it doesn't turn off when running GUI Commands). _________________ #NAT/SFE/CTF: limited speed w/ DD#Repeater issues#DD-WRT info: FAQ, Builds, Types, Modes, Changes, Demo#

Yes, dates appear to be mixed in syslog
(Time: 23:14:20 up 11 min, load average: 0.00, 0.22, 0.27) Some are correct for 14/Oct (now), some are from 15/Oct. _________________

Thanks BS!!
it has been like that, even on 58484 and now on 58531 and it may continue it not only for Broadcom's but on Atheros platforms too... _________________ Atheros
