Devices added back into the nightly build after recent big OpenWrt update:
- Mikrotik LDF 5
- Ubiquiti AirRouter
Bug fixes
- Fixed WAN VLAN detection on hAP
- Fixed idle tunnel quality check
- Fixed IBSS (Independent Basic Service Set) problem on 2.4GHz
- Enabled negative channels for 2.4 GHz 802.11ac devices
- Fixed negative channels not beaconing.
- Fixed PowerBridge M upgrade
Enhancements
- Merged openwrt release 22.03.3

- Made the default country HX (HAM)
- Improved the quality of the scan output
- Improved idle tunnel quality measurement
- Provided better error feedback when upgrades fail
- Tagged those devices which must be reinstalled. (The NAND layout for a few Mikrotik devices has changed sufficiently that they cannot be easily upgraded and must be reinstalled from scratch.)
Over and above the neighbor status states of pending, active , etc., new states of "hidden" and "exposed" have been added.

Release notes for AREDN nightly build 2017 and later
Nightly build 2017 is based on the latest OpenWRT release, version 22.03.2. (The current AREDN production release is based on OpenWRT 19.07 from January 2020).
There are significant changes in this nightly build:
-
All devices have been moved to the ath79 device tree (no more ar71xx).
-
The ipq40xx device tree has been added.
-
Each device now has its own image file.
-
Some filenames have been changed.
As a result devices need to be tested carefully, at least initially.
The most current status on nightly builds can be found in the README file here:
http://downloads.arednmesh.org/snapshots/readme.md
While this release has been tested on more than 90% of device types active on AREDN networks, it could not be tested on everything and support for some devices is either untested or not readily available. If you need a nightly build that’s missing please let us know and we will add it if possible (but you will need to provide hardware for development and testing).
