Release of OpenWrt 24.10.3 Stable Version – 20250923

After a three-month wait, today we finally welcome the official release of the fourth stable version of OpenWrt 24.10, OpenWrt 24.10.3. Previously, stable versions were released every two months, but this time it has been extended by an additional month, indicating that the changes or improvements in stability may be slightly more challenging. Let’s first look at the version number information:

There is no major version change for the kernel in this upgrade, still using Linux 6.6, with minor version upgrades in Wi-Fi services, especially for MediaTek mt76 products. Detailed changes can be found in the corresponding software package changelogs.Known IssuesThis stable version release has two known issues that users can evaluate based on their business needs:

  • 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.

Overall, the impact will not be too significant, but users of products with the ath10k chipset should pay attention to the second issue.ConclusionThis OpenWrt 24.10.3 can be considered a mid-version of the 24.10 series. According to the plan, the entire 24.10 version will be supported until the end of 2026, with about three more minor version updates to come, but the overall framework will not undergo major adjustments. Therefore, if you are developing new products for next year, you may consider using this version as a baseline.The release history of the OpenWrt 24.10 series is as follows:OpenWrt 24.10 first stable version releaseOpenWrt 24.10.1 stable version releaseOpenWrt 24.10.2 stable version release
