Description

Reporting according to
[[https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/installation/ar71xx.to.ath79|https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/installation/ar71xx.to.ath79]]

because from what I gather, that is probably the cause for the upgrade failure.

Model NETGEAR WNDR4300

sysupgrade -n openwrt-21.02.1-ath79-nand-netgear_wndr4300-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
