Please test this version

This is not the final version, this is a test version. Please report problems and bugs in our issue tracker.

Highlights in OpenWrt 25.12

OpenWrt 25.12.0-rc2 incorporates over 4300 commits since branching the previous OpenWrt 24.10 release and has been under development for over one year.

Only the main changes are listed below. See changelog-25.12.0-rc2 for the full changelog.

General changes

The hardware requirements did not change significantly, most devices supported by OpenWrt 24.10 should also work with OpenWrt 25.12.

Switch package manager from opkg to apk

OpenWrt has transitioned from the traditional opkg package manager to apk (Alpine Package Keeper).

This change brings several advantages:

  • apk is still maintained, the OpenWrt opkg fork was not maintained any more.

apk supports most features of opkg. Only very few package names changed. The command line arguments of apk are different from the command line arguments of opkg.

For users migrating existing systems, an official opkg to apk cheatsheet is available to ease the transition and map common workflows.

Integration of attended sysupgrade

The attended sysupgrade LuCI application is now installed by default.

ASU allows devices to:

  • Upgrade to new OpenWrt firmware versions
  • Automatically rebuild firmware images with all currently installed packages
  • Preserve system configuration during upgrades

This dramatically simplifies upgrades: with just a few clicks in LuCI and a short wait, a custom firmware image is built and installed without manual intervention.

Shell history is preserved

Shell command history is now preserved across sessions by storing it in a RAM-backed filesystem.

Benefits:

  • Command history is no longer lost between logins
  • No unnecessary writes to flash storage by default

For users who prefer persistent history storage, this behavior can be changed by editing: /etc/profile.d/busybox-history-file.sh

⚠️ Note: Storing history on flash will increase write cycles and may impact flash endurance over time.

Integration of video feed

The OpenWrt video feed with Qt5 and UI applications is integrated by default.

Wi-Fi scripts in ucode

The wifi scripts were rewritten in ucode.

Target changes

  • Extend realtek target with support for more switch SoCs like 10G Ethernet switches.
  • Extend qualcommax target with support for ipq50xx and ipq60xx SoCs.
  • Added siflower target for Siflower SF21A6826/SF21H8898 SoCs
  • Added sunxi/arm926ejs subtarget for Allwinner F1C100/200s SoCs

Many new devices added

OpenWrt 25.12 supports over 2180 devices. Support for over 160 new devices was added in addition to the device support by OpenWrt 24.10.

Core components update

Core components have the following versions in 25.12.0-rc1:

  • Updated toolchain:
    • musl libc 1.2.5
    • glibc 2.41
    • gcc 14.3.0
    • binutils 2.44
  • Updated Linux kernel
    • 6.12.63 for all targets
  • main packages:
    • cfg80211/mac80211 from kernel 6.18.0
    • hostapd master snapshot from August 2025
    • dnsmasq 2.91
    • dropbear 2025.89
    • busybox 1.37.0

In addition to the listed applications, many others were also updated.

Upgrading to 25.12

Upgrading from 24.10 to 25.12 should be transparent on most devices, as most configuration data has either remained the same or will be translated correctly on first boot by the package init scripts.

  • Sysupgrade from 23.05 to 25.12 is not officially supported.

  • Cron log level was fixed in busybox. system.@system[0].cronloglevel should be set to 7 for normal logging. 7 is the default now. If this option is not set, the default is used and no manual action is needed.

  • Bananapi BPI-R4: Interfaces eth1 was renamed to sfp-lan or lan4 and the interface eth2 was renamed to sfp-wan to match the labels. You have to upgrade without saving the configuration.

Scratch installs/upgrades

If you wish to start from scratch (always the safest, but also the most work), simply download the pre-built image from the downloads site or from the Firmware Selector to your device. Make sure to create and save a backup, then install the image using sysupgrade -n /tmp/firmware.bin or the LuCI Backup/Flash Firmware, being sure to set "Keep settings and retain the current configuration" to its off position. Restore or reconstruct your configuration using the contents of the backup as a template.

Attended Sysupgrade options

Attended Sysupgrade (ASU) allows you to build a custom image that retains all of your installed packages and their configuration transparently. You need to use one of the three ASU clients that interface with the ASU server to produce this custom image:

  • Firmware Selector - an online builder that requires you to manually supply it with the packages you wish to have installed. This package list is sent to the ASU server, and a new custom device image is created containing those packages. You may then download and install the image in LuCI Backup/Flash Firmware, but for this you would enable "Keep settings..."
  • Luci Attended Sysupgrade - the web interface to the ASU server. This tool allows you to choose a new OpenWrt version, then collects the names of the packages on your device and sends them up to the ASU server. LuCI ASU then downloads the created image directly to your device and allows you to install it, without having to do any of the bookkeeping tasks involved with using the Firmware Selector.
  • owut - a command line package that does the same job as LuCI ASU, but provides more diagnostics and better visibility into what's happening at the various steps before and during the build process.

Both the LuCI ASU app and owut are optional packages in 24.10, so if you have not installed them, they won't be there by default. Use either the LuCI Package Manager to install them, or you can do it from the command line with opkg:

$ opkg update
$ opkg install luci-app-attendedsysupgrade
$ opkg install owut

Note that you can install one or the other, or both together, they are completely independent packages.

Upgrades with Firmware Selector

The Firmware Selector does an excellent job of searching through the thousands of available device configurations and getting you to the right place. But, some devices have several variants and possibly different image formats, so if you're unsure about which one you need or which device you're dealing with or anything else, go to the |Firmware Selector support thread and ask away.

Upgrades with LuCI Attended Sysupgrade

The LuCI web interface should be fairly self explanatory. Since you have fairly limited options there that should be pretty obvious, but if anything is unclear or you're unsure about something, go to the LuCI Attended Sysupgrade support thread and ask.

Upgrades with owut

If you choose to use owut, the fact that it's a command line program means you'll need a little more explanation regarding best practices. In any situation, it's always safe to do a check to see what's going on.

$ owut check --verbose --version-to 25.12
... a lot of output ...

This check should show you all the details of what this upgrade entails with regards to the packages available, and will point out any issues with package versions and so on.

Assuming the results of the check look good, you can simply do an upgrade next.

$ owut upgrade --verbose --version-to 25.12
... even more output ...

If you are unsure of anything you see in the check, during the upgrade, or simply have questions, jump on over to the owut support thread on the forum and ask.

Known issues

  • Users of Zyxel EX5601-T0 devices need to check their WAN interfaces as port was renamed from eth1 to wan.

  • Sysupgrade from 22.03 to 24.10 is not officially supported.

  • There is no configuration migration path for users of the ipq806x target for Qualcomm Atheros IPQ806X SoCs because it switched to DSA. You have to upgrade without saving the configuration.
    ''Image version mismatch. image 1.1 device 1.0 Please wipe config during upgrade (force required) or reinstall. Config cannot be migrated from swconfig to DSA Image check failed''

  • User of the Linksys E8450 aka. Belkin RT3200 running OpenWrt 23.05 or earlier will need to run installer version v1.1.3 or later in order to reorganize the UBI layout for the 24.10 release. A detailed description is in the OpenWrt wiki. Updating without using the installer will break the device. Sysupgrade will show a warning before doing an incompatible upgrade.

  • Users of the Xiaomi AX3200 aka. Redmi AX6S running OpenWrt 23.05 or earlier have to follow a special upgrade procedure described in the wiki. This will increase the flash memory available for OpenWrt. Updating without following the guide in the wiki break the device. Sysupgrade will show a warning before doing an incompatible upgrade.

  • Users of Zyxel GS1900 series switches running OpenWrt 23.05 or earlier have to perform a new factory install with the initramfs image due to a changed partition layout. Sysupgrade will show a warning before doing an incompatible upgrade and is not possible.

Known issues

  • LEDs for Airoha AN8855 are not yet supported. Devices like the Xiaomi AX3000T with an Airoha switch will have their switch LEDs powered off. This issue will be addressed in an upcoming OpenWrt SNAPSHOT and the OpenWrt 24.10 minor release.
  • 5GHz WiFi is non-functional on certain devices with ath10k chipsets. Affected models include the TP-Link Archer C60 v1, and possibly others. For details, see issue #14541.

Core components update

Core components have the following versions in 24.10.0:

  • Updated toolchain:
    • musl libc 1.2.5
    • glibc 2.38
    • gcc 13.3.0
    • binutils 2.42
  • Updated Linux kernel
    • 6.6.73 for all targets
  • Network:
    • hostapd master snapshot from September 2024, dnsmasq 2.90, dropbear 2024.86
    • cfg80211/mac80211 from kernel 6.12.6

Upgrading to 24.10

Sysupgrade can be used to upgrade a device from 23.05 to 24.10, and configuration will be preserved in most cases.

For for upgrades inside the OpenWrt 24.10 stable series for example from a OpenWrt 24.10 release candidate Attended Sysupgrade is supported in addition which allows preserving the installed packages too.

  • Sysupgrade from 22.03 to 24.10 is not officially supported.

  • There is no configuration migration path for users of the ipq806x target for Qualcomm Atheros IPQ806X SoCs because it switched to DSA. You have to upgrade without saving the configuration.
    ''Image version mismatch. image 1.1 device 1.0 Please wipe config during upgrade (force required) or reinstall. Config cannot be migrated from swconfig to DSA Image check failed''

  • User of the Linksys E8450 aka. Belkin RT3200 running OpenWrt 23.05 or earlier will need to run installer version v1.1.3 or later in order to reorganize the UBI layout for the 24.10 release. A detailed description is in the OpenWrt wiki. Updating without using the installer will break the device. Sysupgrade will show a warning before doing an incompatible upgrade.

  • Users of the Xiaomi AX3200 aka. Redmi AX6S running OpenWrt 23.05 or earlier have to follow a special upgrade procedure described in the wiki. This will increase the flash memory available for OpenWrt. Updating without following the guide in the wiki break the device. Sysupgrade will show a warning before doing an incompatible upgrade.

  • Users of Zyxel GS1900 series switches running OpenWrt 23.05 or earlier have to perform a new factory install with the initramfs image due to a changed partition layout. Sysupgrade will show a warning before doing an incompatible upgrade and is not possible.

Known issues

  • LEDs for Airoha AN8855 are not yet supported. Devices like the Xiaomi AX3000T with an Airoha switch will have their switch LEDs powered off. This issue will be addressed in an upcoming OpenWrt SNAPSHOT and the OpenWrt 24.10 minor release.
  • 5GHz WiFi is non-functional on certain devices with ath10k chipsets. Affected models include the TP-Link Archer C60 v1, TP-Link Archer C6 v2, and possibly others. For details, see issue #14541.
  • Ethernet link instability on some MT7530 switches. Users experiencing unstable Ethernet connections should disable Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE) as a workaround. See issue #17351 for more information.
  • Kernel warning in ath10k-ct driver at startup. The warning WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 1695 at backports-6.9.9/net/mac80211/main.c:270 ieee80211_do_open+0x4e8/0x5e0 [mac80211] appears during boot but is harmless and can be ignored. See issue #15959 for details.
