    XR700 (R9000 equiv HW) lost all WiFi after FW upgrade

    The short answer is no. Here are some details. I loaded an earlier version of the dd-wrt bin and amazing enough the 2.4GHz came back to live working with full power! But no 5GHz, as there seemed to be known issues at the 5G with that bin. Later to recent ddwrt bins won’t even load as they are...

    XR700 (R9000 equiv HW) lost all WiFi after FW upgrade

    I meant sysinit was not using the mac address in ART to load.

    XR700 (R9000 equiv HW) lost all WiFi after FW upgrade

    Mine is partition exactly like the R9000 similar to yours. I have already read out the act.bak partition and restored it on art and used the earliest FW bin. Also md5sum checked both same. Sysinit never loaded the wifi controllers. So I don't think changing the ART did anything. Sysinit was...

    XR700 (R9000 equiv HW) lost all WiFi after FW upgrade

    Does anyone know when the router first boot up doing sysinit, is there a list in the mtd that it looks to find the devices? If so, where is it? Apparently all my Atheros Wifi controllers & the 60 are not loaded initially. Apparently it is not in the ART as I changed it and nothing changed.

    XR700 (R9000 equiv HW) lost all WiFi after FW upgrade

    How do I know if ART.bak is good to copy back to replace ART? They both have similar structure but some varied content. It seems to easy to write it back under openwrt. But if it doesn't boot up after, it would be more challenging to replace back in uboot from TFTP.

    XR700 (R9000 equiv HW) lost all WiFi after FW upgrade

    I found ART, also ART.bak. I will dump them out to compare. Also the bin version I mentioned was incorrect. It was from v1.0.1.20 to v1.0.1.50. But the new bin is the first Duma 3.3.363 beta release in probably 5 yrs. It is a major OS change. Probably changed the ART.

    You are right. I did go between v1.0.20 which was very old to v3.3.363 (the first v3 beta release) and mapping may have changed. Most people are on V1.0.xx though.

    XR700 (R9000 equiv HW) lost all WiFi after FW upgrade

    I must not be looking for the ART in the right place. I did df on my R9000 and I see the same disk partition as in XR700, nothing says ART. Where do I look? How do I read out and restore the ART if I need to?

    XR700 (R9000 equiv HW) lost all WiFi after FW upgrade

    Which is the ART partition? All 5 partitions are there under df: devtmpfs, tmpfs, ubi0:overlay ubi1:plex, overlayfs I previously looked at the console debug msg and noted that ath0/1 are not there, and the Atheros controllers are not loaded. I had the debug zip file logged during boot. Does...

    Yes, rolled back to much earlier bin mentioned above. No go.

    XR700 (R9000 equiv HW) lost all WiFi after FW upgrade

    I am a R9000 user and long been using Voxel FW and Kamoj addon. I also have a XR700 which has identical HW as the R9000 that runs the Duma OS. I just upgraded the XR700 to this new major release Duma 3.3 FW and lost all WiFi in a few minutes. I actually was checking out the new OS for a while...
