Sorry, that’s a v1.18.345 hamster so your sacrifice won’t work as your router only accepts v1.2.829 or higher.

[–] jellyfishhunter@lemmy.world 35 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Stupid router. v1.18.345 is the higher one. The hamster must have introduced breaking changes if they're incompatible.

[–] helpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.world 29 points 1 week ago (1 children)

No, v1.2 is the higher version. The full name is "hamster gen 3 maxpro v1.2"

v1.18 was the final version of "hamster gen 3 maxpro first edition."

I was gonna say that the hamster is too new and the router can’t parse minor versions with two digits in it, but I like your answer better.

The actual solution is to flash it with OpenWRT

How do you flash OpenWRT on a hamster? Asking for a friend

Thank you, this solution worked perfectly.

Hello I accidentally sacrificed Hamster Pro Max to my regular Pro router. There weren't any warnings or errors it just took its soul, and now when I turn it on the light flashes red 3 times and for a few seconds I can see the eighth circle of hell where Diviners are forced to walk backwards blinded by their own tears.

What I want to ask is, can I extend the timer to at least a minute? This super cute witch winked at me, but when I try to ask her out all I hear are screams of the damned and then the connection goes down please help me.

Fediverse threads are not a valid support inquiry channel. Please write your question in blood and burn it under the full moon to submit a support request.

[–] Maxxie@piefed.blahaj.zone 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I can't do full moon, is there an option for lycanthropycally-challenged?

[–] tetris11@feddit.uk 8 points 1 week ago

As an alternative, please download and print out a picture of a full moon and fax your blood to us in a PDF

But v1.18.x is higher than v1.2.x? 🤨

The 18th update of version 1 vs the 2nd update of version 1.

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Please search before asking questions.

Either this is the Hamster pro max v1.2 v18.345 which is different from the Hamster Max v1.0 or the router can’t parse two digit minor versions because it’s too old.

But I demand instant answers to my question regardless of the quality of my writing skills and in total disregard of time of the day?!

[–] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

Have you heard about Ai?

[–] python@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

ugh didn't you hear about the CVE affecting v1.2.823-1.2.967 though? Those hamsters had missing input validation which could be exploited to overflow the buffer size and execute remote inputs. Your router is basically toast at that point.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Is that a Qualcomm chipset? Sorry bud, you're gonna have to wait 8-12 business decades for that firmware to be supported.
