However, can you (or someone else) enlighten me with a little more detail about what changed concerning wireless config and led config (from a user's perspective)?

It sounds an attractive idea, unfortunately the reality is that both the wireless config and led config change, so this ‘side-grade’ isn’t directly compatible. Personally I think the fact you have to force the install (sysupgrade -F) acts as a reminder that certain things need a gentle tweak afterwards. If a sysupgrade just went through, no warning, then I can see a lot of queries ‘I upgraded and now I can’t get wireless to work’. Often we advise people to beware upgrades from prior releases to consider starting configs afresh, this is changing build architecture as well. The fact that a forced upgrade works as well as it does is an unexpected bonus.

Maybe the SUPPORTED DEVICES for the tl-archer-c7-v2 in ath79 should be updated to enable upgrades?

Is Target System "Atheros ATH79 (DTS)" for Target Profile "TP-LINK Archer C7 v2" not compatible with Target System "Atheros AR7xxx/AR9xxx" for the same Target Profile? Regards, Hartmut ___ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel It may be that board name has changed, what's your cat /tmp/sysinfo/board_name ? Now on ath79 should be tplink,tl-archer-c7-v2 so if doesn't match this is the problem You can safely try with -F, but you'll be needed to recreate the /etc/config/wifreless file Regards ___ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
