Why didn't the upgrade take over my OpenVPN packages? I had to install the packages openvpn and luci-app-openvpn manually, but the settings were still there, fortunately.
Stock firmwares do not include a big package like OpenVPN. Hence, it muat be redownloaded.
Will doing a “opkg upgrade” give the same effective result as flashing an updated stock/sysupgrade image?
Asking because it’s annoying remembering which packages I need to reinstall.
Let me grab this occassion: is there a Elecom WRH-583BK2-S sized similarly dual RJ45 dual band router -- with OpenWRT compatibility? https://twitter.com/ysks/status/773135671057784833/photo/1 it is not OpenWRT compatible. Specs at https://twitter.com/ysks/status/773141289197981696
Need a quick primer on the differences between various current flavors of open router firmware.
As far as I am concerned, the OpenWRT community is the only one that has it's shit together.

Edit: it is also dual-band, unlike the GL-iNet 6416 or other smaller units from same vendor.
This week due a wifi network intrusion I bought a Linksys Wrt3200acm. It looks good on paper and it has two boot partitions so it doesn't brick. I installed a device specific distribution recommended on the forums. Well, the 5ghz wifi range is total crap with Openwrt because the wifi driver is not as advanced as the one shipped by default and with the open source driver it can't transmit at full power. I ditched Open…
I would recommend a Ubiquti UniFi [1]. Although I'm so pissed off that I can't deeplink to their UniFi product page that I'm almost not making this very post. Which specific one depends on your needs and budget. [1] https://www.ui.com/products/#

Ubiquiti. Check out the UniFi Dream Machine for all in one. It’s early access right now.

Tomato - Broadcom only - 2.6.22/.38 kernel (with multiple patches on top). DD-WRT - Most compatible - various kernels - some drivers are closed source OpenWrt - Fully open (except for firmware) - Latest LTS kernels. 19.07 will use 4.14 for almost every target.

I was a Wisp user for some time so I know the brand and it was a solid device overall. I looked into the UniFi products and the AP plus a controller is almost 100 euros more expensive than the Linksys device. I will look in the future for Ubiquiti devices but I think I am going to use a standard WiFi device (after all it is a one story flat not too big) and perhaps in the future I will buy a barebones so I can run pf…
