GL.Inet AR-150

Last night I upgraded my AR-150 to firmware 1307 from, I believe, firmware 1234. Now for the life of me, I can not get it to pull a WAN IP. I can connect to it just fine from the LAN side, but not when connected my main router that supplies the WAN IP. It worked until I did the upgrade. I would revert it back to the previous (working firmware), but can't find the copy that I originally downloaded. Thoughts/suggestions? A link to previous firmware?

Nightly build 1326-c0bac78

As of 02/12/20 nightly build 1326-c0bac78 , i am not able to get a tunnel client activated with the proper credentials on my newest Gl-Inet AR-150.
 My first AR-150 is running 1101-ad0aaf-gl-150 with no issues. Running the newest nightly build will not allow me to downgrade to and older version or a factory .bin file.

Be sure to install today's
Be sure to install today's nightly build, which fixed an issue with tunnel compatibility with prior releases.

need a support data file, link at bottom of admin page to look over.  Otherwise, little hope of discovering what the issue is.

Tunnel Client

Joe, one thing I did discovered is the tunnel client is active only when the mesh rf mode is selected. If I unselect this mode and select the part 15 lan wireless mode, I can no longer get an active tunnel client. This is only happing on my newest GL AR-150 with the lastest nightly build.

This is the expected behavior
This is the expected behavior if the WAN is not accessible directly on the AR150.   With mesh RF on, the auto routing will find an internet gateway across the mesh network and still make a tunnel connection over the internet.  This is not something anyone should do by design, loading RF links up with tunnel traffic.   All tunnels should be on devices with direct access to the internet.

Yes it would be pointless to be running a tunnel when your are close enough to be connected via mesh rf.
I like the AR-150 because I can use is as a part 15 gateway while pluged into internet,  running a tunnel to have access to all other mesh networks.
It didnt make since to have the tunnel client work while the mesh network is being selected and not the lan part 15 device. Something in the logic when switching between modes got left out preventing the tunnel for working. However with that said, My first AR150  running  1101-ad0caaf, can run a active tunnel client no mater which mode is slected.  Maybe this is what was being changed in the update but they got the logic backards. Just my 2 cents.

Through some techno wizardry
Through some techno wizardry (and finding a friend who also has an AR150 and had saved his copies of the previous builds), I was able to revert my AR150 to firmware 1190. I fully set it up and tested it (WAN IP address obtained), as well as downloaded the support data files. I then upgraded it to the new nightly build, 1336, and once again, it would not obtain an IP address for the WAN. The unit was not moved during upgrade, so nothing should have changed during the upgrade. 

Mesh RF is disabled, wireless LAN is enabled. WAN port plugged into router, LAN port plugged into a spare computer (for setup purposes). I can connect to the Wireless LAN as well.

I have both support files, do I upload them to this thread, or somewhere else?

Yes, definitely something has not been setup correctly for the WAN interface.   Are you able to upload back here the file /etc/board.json from 1339?    Something didn't get created on first boot correctly in this file.  (been meaning to include in the support data...)

I found the root cause. 
I found the root cause.  Looks like someone upstream with OpenWrt accidently removed a definition.   I'll see if I can get a fix into tonight's build.

Thanks for persisting though to help find these issues.   We're in a period of time to ensure we all have confidence in the nightly build to do a release.  We just added a notch of confidence :) .

Chuck NC8Q, if this worked for you, it was likely because you had a port connected to your switch.  It had a default setting and one port had all the vlans defined, the 2nd port was not configured.

Tunnel Server

Joe just downloaded and installed your file https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vAfIGBgZwyHCZCpgIW7GbFHibSLMnZ9O/view?u...
The only thing i see wrong was it would not allow me to install a tunnel server. Keeps giving me an error.

It appears that everything is
It appears that everything is working as my node is pulling a WAN IP again.

As for the tunneling not working, I'm guessing that's because the tunneling software version doesn't match the firmware version.

The tunnel packages won't install.   it is trying to pull from the current nightly build, and signatures don't match.   Check for a new image tomorrow.
